The project The Post-Nomadic Experience is an artistic exploration of the processes of modernization in Mongolia, the multifaceted dimensions of nomadic life, and its significance in the visual arts. This publication is the result of a comprehensive collaborative exchange between German and Mongolian artists and provides profound insights into the cultural and art-historical background of this network of relationships without, however, reproducing the romantic mystifications of the likes of Joseph Beuys. Ultimately, the project examines the tensions between the traditional nomadic experience and the “Nomadism” of today’s Western artists, resulting in both critical and promising stimuli for transcultural discourse on contemporary art.
