The chaos theory of Mongolia

I returned to Mongolia 15 years ago after an absence of 13 years, save for the occasional 2-week leave from work, and that time I spent a semester and a half at a local university drinking endless cups of brown, watery 150 Tugrik instant MaCcoffee at the cafĂ© strangely, or perhaps egotistically, named "In my memory", writing the first and so far the only book that got us into trouble with the local intelligence who apparently had little else to do than to pore through the ramblings of teenagers to catch the tell-tale signs of drug dealery. But I digress.

Heesco at Outpost Festival and aMBUSH gallery with Art Series Hotels

A little bit of self-pimping :)
Recently I took part in Outpost festival, and was part of a group show titled Surface Tension at aMBUSH gallery in Sydney.
Outpost festival is the first major street art festival in Australia, and as such it attracted a lot of attention. More on the festival here. I did a few works there thanks to Art Series Hotels who sponsored my trip up.
Later I took part in a group show with 5 other local street artists from Australia at the aMBUSH gallery (aMBUSH guys organised and coordinated the whole of Outpost festival too). I painted 4 pictures of Mongolian traditional Shamans for the show, and also painted the wall in the gallery to make it into an installation. Exhibition catalogue can be viewed here.
A video recap of the walls painted and a small interview below (thanks Miklos!).
