MOMENTUM is a non-profit platform for time-based art, active worldwide, with headquarters in Berlin at the Kunstquartier Bethanien Art Center. Having been founded in Australia as a parallel event to the 17 Biennale of Sydney in May 2010, MOMENTUM is proud to celebrate its 10th birthday with an exhibition of its Collection of video art from around the world.
The MOMENTUM Collection was established in 2010 with an initial donation of 12 video works by 10 artists exhibited at MOMENTUM Sydney. Since then, the Collection has grown to encompass over 145 outstanding artworks by 46 artists from 26 countries worldwide. Representing a diversity of media - video, performance, photography, painting, collage, and text – the MOMENTUM Collection ranges from some of the most established to emerging artists from Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, the UK, and the US.
The ongoing growth of the Collection draws upon the breadth of MOMENTUM’s programming. Since its inception, MOMENTUM has presented over 100 Exhibitions and Events worldwide, through a program composed of local and international Exhibitions, Artist and Curator Residencies, Video Art in Public Space Initiatives, Performance programs, and Education events. Positioned as both a local and global platform, MOMENTUM serves as a bridge joining professional art communities, irrespective of institutional and national borders.
Driving MOMENTUM's program and the development of the Collection is the search for innovative answers to the question ‘What is time-based art?’. By enabling Exhibition, Discussion, Research, Creation, Collection, and Exchange, MOMENTUM is a platform which challenges the notion of time-based art in the context of both historical and technological development. Visual languages continue to evolve in concert with the technologies which drive them, and it is the role of visual artists to push the limits of these languages. As the world speeds up, and time itself seems to flow faster, MOMENTUM creates a Collection of contemporary art focused on the growing diversity and relevance of time-based practices, exploring how time-based art reflects the digitization of our societies and the resulting cultural change.
