MOMENTUM PERFORMANCE ARCHIVE

 

By enabling Exhibition, Discussion, Research, Creation, 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 provides a program focused on the growing diversity and relevance of time-based practices.

MOMENTUM’s focus on time-based art generates an active performance program. MOMENTUM is committed to documenting and archiving all the performances we commission, produce, and host. This archive is made available to the public as an educational resource on our online platform. The Performance Archive also forms a resource for international exhibitions of MOMENTUM’s Collection and Education resources.
