ABOUT MOMENTUM InsideOut
 

MOMENTUM_InsideOut is MOMENTUM’s initiative for Video Art in Public Space. Traditionally shown in the darkened rooms of galleries and museums, video art is now bursting out into public space through the acceleration of digital technologies. MOMENTUM turns the museum and gallery inside out by bringing international museum quality video art to the streets, thereby making it widely accessible to new audiences and building curiosity and public interest in contemporary art.

MOMENTUM_InsideOut works in partnership with visionary institutions in Berlin and abroad. In cooperation with our partners the CHB – Collegium Hungaricum Berlin, MOMENTUM programs an ongoing series of screenings on Berlin’s Museum Island. And thanks to cooperations with international institutions such as SALT Istanbul, Odra Zoo Szczecin, Chronus Art Center Shanghai, and Viva Con Agua, MOMENTUM_InsideOut has taken place in Turkey, Poland, China, and more locations to come.

MOMENTUM is a non-profit global platform for time-based art, with headquarters in Berlin at the Bethanien Art Center. Through MOMENTUM’s program of Exhibitions, Education, Public Video Art Initiatives, Residencies, and Collection, we are dedicated to providing a platform for exceptional international artists working with time-based practices. The term ‘time-based’ art means very different things today than when it was first coined over forty years ago. MOMENTUM’s mission is to continuously reassess the growing diversity and relevance of time-based practices, always seeking innovative answers to the question, ‘what is time-based art’? Positioned as a global platform with a vast international network, MOMENTUM serves as a bridge joining professional art communities, irrespective of institutional and national borders. The key ideas driving MOMENTUM are: Collaboration, Exchange, Education, Innovation, and Inspiration.
