MOMENTUM | Worldwide is happy to announce our partnership with the Musrara School of Art in launching our Jerusalem Residency on 21 May 2012.  To mark the beginning of our collaboration, the MOMENTUM Collection will be screened at the Musraramix Festival in Jerusalem, 22 – 24 May. Artists and organizers of the Festival are invited to a special event to open the MOMENTUM Jerusalem Residency on May 21.

The MOMENTUM | Jerusalem Residency is designed to further the mission of MOMENTUM as a global platform for time-based art, serving as a bridge joining professional art communities across national borders, by means of Collaboration, Exchange, Education, and Exploration.  Uniquely located inside the walls of the Old City in Jerusalem, Residencies are 3 – 6 months, by invitation.  Artists and curators undertaking the Residency will have access to the facilities and support of the Musrara School of Art, and will in turn conduct a workshop and exhibit their work in the school’s public galleries. The Musrara School of Art will send a lecturer annually to undertake a program of curation or exhibition at MOMENTUM | Berlin.

Musrara, the Naggar school of Photography, Media, New Music, Animation and Phototherapy was founded in 1986 in Jerusalem’s Musrara neighbourhood. Musrara, perhaps more than any other place, symbolises the complexity of the Israeli experience: a neighbourhood situated at the divide between West and East Jerusalem, overlooking the walls of the Old City. The Naggar School works within a framework of practice based research, taking into consideration the visual biographies and unique identities that comprise society in Jerusalem. The school is strongly committed to providing a socially engaged community based art programme that is sensitive and inclusive of the multicultural communities in Jerusalem, and in Israel.

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

Artists from the MOMENTUM Collection being shown in the Kyiv Biennale: Map Office, Tracey Moffatt, and Fiona Pardington.
