Nomin Bold’s “Transporter” on display at “Being Mortal”, Dom Museum Wien

The exhibition deals with the most inescapable part of every existence: “Being Mortal” traces the deep meaning of death not only in the individual, but also in the collective and socio-political context by means of a comparison of works of art that span a cultural and historical arc from the Middle Ages to the present Intimate, personal approaches are examined as well as the public, political role of dying and the confrontation with it.

An extensive selection of graphic works from the legendary Otto Mauer collection is also on display. This is therefore an opportunity for an exciting insight into the collecting activities of this key figure in the Austrian post-war art scene.

Nomin Bold’s textile work “Transporter” 2023 is about humans being always in motion, traveling across time and space. This ship is meant to deliver us “there” and bring us “back”.
