A Mongolian root extracted, illegally traded and sold internationally as apharmaceutical product? Or the toolkit of an urban shaman, securing economic fortune forprofessional women in Ulaanbaatar?\u00a0Five Heads (Tavan Tolgoi) brings together the work of five anthropologists and five artists\/collectives researching and responding to the dramatic rise and fall of Mongolia\u2019s mineraleconomy. Drawing from ongoing fieldwork in Mongolia, the artists in this exhibition examinecrisis as a space for the emergence of new possibilities.\u00a0Curated by Hermione SpriggsExhibition dates: September 1st \u2013 15th, 2018Conversations &amp; events in collaboration with Arts CatalystJoin our events page for updates\u00a0In 1964, at a time when Mongolia was suspended in the social and economic stasis of Sovietrule, Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan seized upon Ezra Pound\u2019s definition ofthe artist as \u201cthe antennae of the race,\u201d claiming \u201cthe power of the arts to anticipate futuresocial and technological developments by a generation and more.\u201d Indeed, art (or perhaps thesynaptic negative space which exists between art and anthropology) has taken on antennalikeproperties in the context of Mongolia, where the need to rapidly re-think the impactsof mineral extraction and economic chaos is pressing and real, and where a resurgence inshamanic practices\u2014often explained by shamans themselves through a language of codeand telecommunications\u2014can itself be thought of as a kind of radar or antennae capable ofreaching through time, assuring future fortune in the face of agsan (the invisible and chaoticforces of transition).\u00a0Nested within what might be described as an \u201caesthetics of estrangement\u201d (Castaing-Taylor)or a process of \u201coptimal distortion\u201d (Neilson &amp; Pedersen) are proposals for alternative mapsand re-surfaced trajectories that shatter a teleological timeline of progress, staking territoryinstead for speculative thought and practical forms of human-nonhuman reciprocity. Asglobal cores and peripheries exchange places and rehearse histories of empire formation, FiveHeads explores geo-ontological emergence, (post)capitalist futures, and alternative strategiesfor creative survival in the present.\u00a0The accompanying publication Five Heads (Tavan Tolgoi) Art, Anthropology and MongolFuturism (Sternberg Press, 2018) features documentation of the art-anthropology exchangeprocesses, alongside written contributions by Simon O\u2019 Sullivan, Uranchimeg Tsultem, RichardIrvine, Tsendpurev Tsegmid, Hermione Spriggs &amp;
