MOMENTUM Collection screening at Musraramix Festival in Jerusalem 23 – 25 May 2012

We’re proud to announce the MOMENTUM Collection will be screened at the Musraramix Festival in Jerusalem to mark our partnership with the Musrara School of Art and the launch of the MOMENTUM Jerusalem Residency.

Musraramix is an annual outdoor public art festival focusing on moving image and performance art. For the Musraramix Festival, we curate the MOMENTUM | Collection into 3 programs:

1. Subjects and Objects looks at works which address the individual as both subject and object of the gaze, of scientific enquiry and biological necessity, of the material expectations of beauty, and as objectified by the material traces of individual histories. Including works by: Tracey Moffatt, Nezaket Ekici, Hye Rim Lee, Mark Karasick, Gabriele Leidloff, Fiona Pardington

2. Rituals and Ghosts brings together works which look at the stories, traditions, and games we repeat to ourselves and to others, which define both the stark differences between cultures, and the sometimes uncanny similarities between them. Including works by: Osvaldo Budet, David Medalla, Martin Sexton, Eric Bridgeman, TV Moore, Hannu Karjalainen

3. Evolution/Revolution begins with the purity of nature, and moves on to ancient civilizations, the beginnings of society, racing in to the present day to address the many ways mankind misuses its hard-earned civilization. Including work by: Janet Laurence, Mariana Vassileva, Eric Bridgeman, Martin Sexton, James P Graham, Map Office, Doug Fishbone, Sumugan Sivanesan
