Attend a public lecture with Tuguldur Yondonjamts, a Mongolian contemporary artist, to learn more about his work, which will be on display in the Herron Galleries from Sept. 17 to Dec. 8, 2021.

“Separated Geography from a Poem” is the second exhibition in a new biennial international exhibition and artist-in-residence series presented by Herron School of Art and Design. Inspired by the Mongolian historical epic “Khan Kharangui [King Darkness],” Tuguldur Yondonjamts investigates boundless travel, imaginations of space and distance, and various forms of communication through interdisciplinary research in archeology, material studies, and art.

The exhibition series is organized by Uranchimeg Tsultem, Edgar and Dorothy Fehnel Chair in International Studies, and is made possible through the generous support of Ed Fehnel.

IN-PERSON: This event, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Friday, Sept. 17, at 5:30 p.m. in Eskenazi Hall’s Basile Auditorium, and will be followed by an opening reception. For the health and safety of the IU community, masks are currently required at indoor events.

ONLINE: Tuguldur’s presentation will be live streamed beginning at 5:30 p.m. at facebook.com/HerronGalleries. Guests can also register in advance to attend the event virtually via Zoom by going to go.iu.edu/41fJ.
