MOMENTUM BERLIN | BENEFIT
8 October 2010 19:30 – 21:30
Curated by Rachel Rits-Volloch
Opened by David Elliott
Hosted by Gallery TaiK

Momentum, launched in Sydney as a new platform for time-based art, is going global. Designed as a moveable feast, reconvening in major cities around the world, Momentum is also developing a network of international residencies designed to serve as project spaces for the artists, galleries, curators, and academics who take part in Momentum events worldwide, thus building a continuity between events and between a global network of arts professionals. The first residency is in Jerusalem inside the Old City, and will open in 2011.

In order to make all this possible Momentum is holding a one night Benefit Exhibition on Oct. 8th, hosted by Gallery Taik and coinciding with Art Forum. Our Berlin Benefit features video works generously donated by 10 of the artists showcased at Momentum / Sydney. The purpose of this event is both to raise funds for Momentum through the sale of unique video collections, and to raise awareness of what we did in Sydney and what we are now taking around the world as a new mobile institution and platform supporting time-based contemporary art. Funds raised through this benefit will enable Momentum to continue what we began in Sydney and to mature into our vision of a global platform linked through a network of residencies and participants worldwide.
