"Better to see once with your own eyes
than to hear a thousand times from others."

Mongolian Step is the agency for Mongolian art and culture – and we are a bit different to what you would expect from a typical artists agency.
After all, Mongolia has much more to offer than endless steppes, men on horseback, and Genghis Khan! That’s why we not only represent very special young artists who epitomise today’s Mongolia, a modern country full of contrasts and contradictions, we also organise cultural events and sell selected works and products created by our artists. read more |
THE ARTISTS
Pferdekopfgeiger - Bat-ochir Araanz
Die Pferdekopfgeige lässt die Weite der mongolischen Steppe hörbar werden. Galoppierende Pferde, ein Wiehern, Wind, der sich in den Bergen fängt, schnell ziehende Wolken an einem unendlich scheinenden Himmel – all das verwandelt Araanz Bat-Ochir in wundersame Klänge, wenn er sanft über die Saiten des mongolischen Nationalinstruments streicht.

Pianist - Odgerel Sampilnorov
The moment she touches the piano keys, everything else seems to stand still. With the incredible lightness of her playing, the young artist breathes new life, note by note, into the pieces she performs, even those that are already well known. While listening, you can almost sense the places she is drawing inspiration from for her unique performance. As she herself puts it, her main sources are nature ...

Singer - Enkharjal Erkhembayar (Enji)
Mongolia is where past and present meet, as do tradition and modernity. The result is a culture that is not only special, it’s unique. Through her singing, the young musician Enkhjargal Erkhembayar allows her audiences to experience this convergence in a way that is nothing short of sublime. She has mastered the traditional female part in throat singing – the “long song” – as well as the jazz idiom. ...

Printmaking Artist - Suren Hash
Compelling photographs in black and white, portraits, buildings, clouds. Then the colour images: flowers laced in dew, leaves withered on asphalt. And always the light, a key component – sometimes warm and golden, glittering; sometimes bleak and cold.
Suren Hash’s photography awakens memories, enlivens the senses. In addition, there is her graphic art ...

Träume - eingefangen auf der Leinwand
Die Ausstellung "In einem anderen Leben" des mongolischen Künstlers Gan-erdene Tsend im Kunsthaus Klüber in Weinheim
Gan-erdene Tsend gehört zu den etabliertesten Künstlern aus der Mongolei in Deutschland. Aktuell präsentiert er sein Werk im Rahmen der Ausstellung "In einem anderen Leben" im Kunsthaus Klüber in Weinheim. Wir waren bei der Ausstellungseröffnung dabei. Die Ausstellung ist noch bis zum 2. Juni zu sehen.
Gan-erdene Tsends war in seiner Kindheit noch ein echter Nomade. Er zog mit seiner Familie und ihren Tieren durch die mongolische Steppe und lebte in einer der typisch mongolischen Filzjurten. Zum Kunststudium zog es ihn dann in die mongolische Hauptstadt Ulaanbaatar. Im Jahr 2003 verschlug es ihn schließlich nach Deutschland, wo er seine Studien an der Kunstakademie unter Professor Hermann-Josef Kuhna vertiefte.

Holiday Destination: Mongolia
The Chinggis Khaan Hotel – A Part of Mongolian History
Ever since I launched my agency, Mongolian Step, I have often been asked about Mongolia as a holiday destination. That is why I would like to begin using my blog to talk about all the things Mongolia offers travellers – with tips on where to stay, how to get there, which sights to visit and which activities to enjoy. The latter naturally includes cultural events in my homeland.
I would like to start this series of posts by presenting the Chinggis Khaan Hotel. It’s an establishment with a fascinating past: its construction turned into quite an adventure for the owners, including a journey by horse-drawn carriage through a country undergoing major upheaval. And its first guest was the Dalai Lama. If walls could talk, this venerable abode would have much to tell. The Chinggis is one of the first hotels in Ulaanbaatar built to Western standards, among other unique aspects. To learn more about its background, I met with the hotel’s director, Otgontuya Khorloo. Our very interesting chat made it clear that the Chinggis is much more than just a place for getting some sleep.
Cultural Envoy of Mongolia
I am very honoured to have been named Cultural Envoy of Mongolia. I am especially pleased to have received my certificate from Foreign Minister Tsogtbaatar Damdin during a ceremony held on the day Mongolia celebrates its New Year’s Festival.
