Love, Actually… showcases works from the MOMENTUM Collection by 7 outstanding women artists who are invited to participate in the The Pleasure Of Love: the 56th Belgrade October Salon. Just as Belgrade’s Pleasure of Love focuses on emotion, on both the pleasure and pain which together constitute love, so too are the works in Love, Actually… tied together by the common thread of Love. The Love depicted by these works from the MOMENTUM Collection ranges from the literal acts of love and sex in Tracey Moffatt’s climactic video Other, to the accoutrements of love, as Nezaket Ekici (un)dresses herself in her video performance Veiling and Revealing; from the meat love of Sarah Lüdemann’s Schnitzelporno, to animal love in Mariana Vassileva’s Morning Mood, and love of animals in Janet Laurence’s Grace; from the love of childhood innocence in Gülsün Karamustafa’s Personal Time Quartet, to the frigidly self-tormenting love of Mariana Hahn’s video performance Burn My Love Burn. We are proud to bring together these treasures from the MOMENTUM Collection, and in this way to bring a small part of The Pleasure Of Love: Belgrade’s 56th October Salon, to Berlin.

Art Nomads – Made in the Emirates:
The United Arab Emirates is more than just oil, desert heat and monumental architecture. This young country has a lively culture with a rich and diverse heritage. The 14-day exhibition ART NOMADS - MADE IN THE EMIRATES will show 20 contemporary artists from a variety of disciplines, reflecting on a culture that is undergoing rapid development. Together they represent a cross-section of contemporary art from the Emirates by emerging artists, influenced by cultural heritage and visual traditions translated into the 21st century, as well as by prominent artists of the older generation. In the centre of Kreuzberg, under the roof of the Kunstquartier Bethanian, an former hospital and chapel, these artists will come together to introduce their exciting new ideas into the Berlin art scene. The exhibition, presented by Abu Dhabi's Etihad Modern Art Gallery, is curated by David Szauder, Zsuzsanna Petró and Rachel Rits-Volloch.
ForART NOMADS - MADE IN THE EMIRATES, MOMENTUM is proud to present, in partnership with the Sovereign Art Foundation's inaugural MENA Art Prize, their finalists from the UAE. The Sovereign Art Foundation is a charity founded in Hong Kong in 2003 with the purpose of raising money to fund projects using art as education, rehabilitation and therapy for disadvantaged children. The Sovereign Asian Art Prize is now in its 12th year and is the biggest, best known and most prestigious arts prize in the Asia region. In October 2016, SAF launched its inaugural MENA Art Prize in Dubai, for the Middle East & North Africa region. We are proud to present the finalists from the UAE in ART NOMADS - MADE IN THE EMIRATES.
MOMENTUM’s Artist-in-Residence program is designed to further the mission of MOMENTUM as a global platform for time-based art, focused on the growing diversity and relevance of time-based practices. The MOMENTUM Residency is dedicated to artistic research into time and temporality in visual language. Open to artists working in a variety of media and practices, MOMENTUM AiR is a process-based residency designed to facilitate research as much as production of new work, while providing a framework for building professional networks and cooperations within Berlin’s thriving art community. MOMENTUM AiR hosts up to 3 artists or curators at a time for a suggested period of 3 months. MOMENTUM AiR accepts applications on an ongoing basis. There are no application deadlines.
