THE BIENNIAL

16.10.2023

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marc Schmitz, Co-Founder of LAM and its Artistic Director, on September 17, 2023. He departed from us far too soon. According to his Buddhist beliefs, he has now entered another realm.

His passing leaves a painful void in the world of art and in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him: his family, his (artist)-friends. However, his works and the diverse memories of his contributions, ideas, and art will continue to live on, reminding us of the importance of pushing the boundaries not only of art but, above all, of our thinking.

Marc was not only an extraordinary artist but also a warm-hearted individual who gladly shared his passion and knowledge with others. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and tireless dedication to the Land Art Mongolia Biennial will be dearly missed. The Biennial, though, will continue to exist!
