ERIKO TSOGO

I am a Mongolian American multidisciplinary artist and cultural producer working between the spectrums of visual art, esotericism, performance, social practice and media. I was born in Mongolia and grew up in Hungary having immigrated to the United States with my family in 1999... My identity as a first-generation Mongolian American symbolizes an opposing marriage between Eastern and Western cultures, social and spiritual norms. I am interested in expressing the embattled emotional middle space of the marginal identity; one who lives both in two worlds, in both of which more or less a stranger. I am on a quest to find different and most potent ways to connect and draw from my ancestor spirits. My artistic process derives from a balance of intuitive and concept driven method of experimental creation. I experience my artistic production as an act of creative play between subject and object, and aim for a convulsive spontaneity in the journey of their creation.
