First solo show of ODONCHIMEG DAVAADORJ
Odonchimeg Davaadorj left her native Mongolia at the age of 17 and went to the Czech Republic then France, where she encountered a western culture that was new to her. This multi-layered identity has certainly influenced her gift for expressing her vision of the world via different artistic media. She draws, paints and sculpts as well as working with video, performance, dance, poetry and, more surprisingly, clothes. As she explains: “I think that you get to a point where you feel a work has to come out. If it`s a poem, I have to write it down. If I can`t write, I have to move, whether I dance or draw.”
