‘Mommy! I wanna go out’
Blue Sun Contemporary Art Center opened a media art exhibition tagged “Mommy! I wanna go out” on June 21.
More than 10 emerging Mongolian artists are displaying their installation, video, and photo artworks at the exhibition.
The exhibition transposes into complex and sophisticated installations, giving new life to discarded old electronics, industrial and recycled objects. The exhibit hall is filled with television screens showing strange and weird videos, as well as recycled and abandoned things.
Mongolian artists B.Enkhchuluun, J.Darkhijav, B.Munkhzul, U.Narbayasgalan, B.Bat-Erdene, J.Munkhjargal, B.Maralgua, B.Altantovch, and E.Enkhtulga are participating in the exhibition.
The exhibition name is both interesting and somewhat misleading. Seeing its name for the first time, “Mommy! I wanna go out”, I thought this exhibition would be related to children. But it was far from it.
The artists explained that they wanted to “untie their feelings and their will hidden in the inner world like a little child begging to go out for play.”
There was an interesting video installation which depicted the grinding of meat. The tag said the art was named “Inner Act” by artist U.Narbayasgalan. To me, the art seemed to represent the endless and unstoppable wishes of people, which gush out from their inner world.
The exhibition will be on view until August 6.
