Young Mongolian artist based in the United States Ts.Erdenesuren is showcasing her solo exhibition titled “Wrong Woman, Myths from Sky” from February 17 to March 31 at Loan Gallery in Colorado, USA. The exhibition features new art about female empowerment and the immigrant identity, with reflection about the contemporary Mongolian culture.
The artist grew up in Budapest, Hungary and immigrated to the United States with her family at the age of eight. She is an alumni of Denver School of the Arts, having attained her bachelor of fine arts in 2012 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Tufts University.
Her most prominent migratory experience came 19 years ago when she immigrated to the United States with her family from Mongolia. Her identity as a first generation Mongolian American migrant allows a life of duality where opposing values and norms of Eastern and Western spiritual and social traditions constantly clash and fuse – creating a marginal periphery of absent power origin. Her ever-revolving dual identity as a first generation Mongolian American nomadic profoundly shapes her artistic process.
Ts.Erdenesuren is interested in expressing the embattled emotional middle space of the marginal human devoid of identity. She seeks to “explore the conflicting psycho-spiritual, cultural and disjointed effects/ emotional middle space of globalization on marginalized identities, with attention to women’s issues; one who perpetually lives simultaneously in war and peace within two worlds, and more or less a stranger in both.”
Her work is about history and tradition, identity censorship, mythology, folklore, dreams, spirituality, death, and nature set in contemplative scenarios that transform into symbolic allegories for sociopolitical issues.
