The artists who participated in Nomadic Artist Residency Program in Mongolia have worked with the theme of traveling through time and space - roaming around between moving, settling down, and perishing. The exhibition ChalasaengChalamyeol has a subject of life of a moment and death of an instant, in line with the theme of Nomadic Artist Residency Program. To lead one's life is to keep traveling with death as a guide. As death serves as a stepping-stone between the present life and the next, a nomad crossing a desert should work to provide a stepping-stone among many people. This life and the next life are joined to become one, allowing life to continue into eternity; for a traveler this path with no end opens out into the future. The artists, as travelers in a desert, tried to find a path from the past to the future within Mongolia, a place undergoing much modernization. In ChalasaengChalamyeol they reflected on life, death, and a samesara [the eternal cycle of birth, death and rebirth].

Salida, a word meaning "exit" in Spanish, presents a diverse set of works created by five artists working within the themes of science, the environment, and ecology. The artists took the boundary between the ideal and the real as their subject matter, examine the differences between people's superficial expectations of the natural environment and their firsthand experiences and eyewitness accounts of these extreme circumstances where "civilized humans" are not allowed. Participants present their work in the form of photography, video and installation, as they explore the roles played by art, artworks, and artists, in the divide between technological civilization and the polar region, between the urban and the natural, and between out machine-like daily routines and natural ecologies.
