Since the spread of COVID-19 the world has seen 10.5 million cases of illness and lost 512,000 people so far. In Mongolia, as of today, thanks to the timely actions by the government and the heroic efforts of health care professionals, there are no deaths, 220 people are sick (who came from out of country), and 175 people have recovered. Due to the strict isolation of those who are infected, the situation in the country is kept under control. Therefore, society in general is circumspect but relatively free to conduct daily life. Since the government’s announcement of lockdown on February 13th, schools, museums, libraries and theaters are closed, even though their reopening at the end of each month was announced several times before. Currently, public institutions are expected to reopen on July 15th. As shows and events are cancelled or indefinitely postponed, cultural life in the country remains at a standstill. Those of us who are lucky enough to stay safe, worry about sustenance over a longer period of time. During this time of crisis, three different art exhibitions in private galleries have come as a surprise relief to help nurse our listless minds in quarantine.
