ZURAG Gallery,
founded in 2010 by
OTGO art is located in the middle of
Berlin, one of the world’s most vibrant art capitals. It is the first
gallery founded and operated by a Mongol outside of Mongolia.
ZURAG Gallery’s
location spreads over two floors, each with 15 x 7 meters large rooms,
marble floors, natural stone walls and a courtyard. It was founded by
Berlin-based artist
OTGO art. Having completed his education
in both Mongolia and Germany, Ershuu has been working as a freelance
artist since 1998 and has exhibited both nationally and internationally.
Ershuu’s main focus in the upcoming exhibitions at
ZURAG gallery is the
interaction of different generations of artists through the spatial
combination of very different projects.
ZURAG Gallery’s
solo and group exhibitions bring
OTGO art's own work into
dialogue with both emerging and established artists of Mongolian and
international origin. The exhibitions include a wide range of artistic
media: painting, drawing, sculpture, calligraphy, photography,
printmaking, music, literature, video and installation, and
performance.
ZURAG Gallery
strives to work closely with other galleries, cultural institutions and
curators.
ZURAG Gallery’s
mandate is to present a multi-facetted picture of Mongolian culture
through artistic projects. This is done to bring in wider attention to
the subject and deliberately influence the international perception of
Mongolia and its art. Much information on the subject of Mongolian art
and culture has yet to be discovered by a wider audience.
ZURAG Gallery
will facilitate events in addition to its exhibitions, such as:
artistic workshops, video and film screenings, artist talks, lectures,
readings, music, dance, courses, yoga, meditation and concerts.
ZURAG Gallery
is open to interesting ideas and proposals. Artists who want to realize
