MOMENTUM: COVIDecameron

MOMENTUM presents a selection of video works from its Collection. These works, re-contextualized through the prism of life at the time of Corona, reflect on our shared experience of a world affected by a global pandemic. They are a contemplation upon the poetry of the day-to-day as it relates to the changing world we inhabit. In the spirit of its medieval literary namesake, and with a defiant wink in the face of COVID-19, COVIDecameron gathers together video works by 19 artists from 12 countries around the globe, for an exhibition online. This exhibition of art from elsewhere provides a retreat from which to safely contemplate the world - a way of traveling without traveling. Moving images move us.

MOMENTUM Presents - TAKING FLIGHT: Birds & Bicycles

Birds & Bicycles is conceived as a ‘factory of metaphors’, taking as its premise the ideas of freedom and the notion of borders, forever shifting and perpetually being crossed, where bicycles symbolize physical freedom, and birds, metaphysical freedom. In Berlin, MOMENTUM extrapolates from the metaphor of birds and bicycles to build our program around the analogy of flight. Referring to the duality of the term flight as both an airborne means of travel and an escape from crisis, the metaphor of flight is integral to the historical and contemporary context of Berlin. In a city itself long divided, located in the geographical center of a divided Europe, the history of air travel in Berlin is a history of crisis, indivisible from the basic humanitarian need for freedom.

STATES OF EMERGENCY

The COVID pandemic appears to be here to stay. As we learn how to navigate this new reality amidst the ongoing chaos of (mis)information and mixed messages, we turn to one another for guidance. Artists – as cultural first-responders – are at the forefront of translating the felt experience of this time of emergency into visual languages, making sense of our precarious times. Featuring new works made since the start of the pandemic by artists from the MOMENTUM Collection, “States of Emergency” compiles their responses to a decade of global environmental and political crisis: particularly to the current pandemic emergency which has transformed all our lives. “States of Emergency” asks: What will emerge out of this global emergency?; While doctors and scientists race to heal our bodies, what will it take to heal the cultural aftermath of COVID?; What is the role of the artist in a state of emergency? “States of Emergency”, marking the end of MOMENTUM’s 10th Anniversary program, is a sequel to “COVIDecameron”, also available to view on ikonoTV.

HOW ARE YOU?

How Are You? [Як ти?] is probably the most frequently asked question in Ukraine of the last weeks. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine and thus the start of a full-scale war, this otherwise trivial question, whether it’s asked by relatives or acquaintances, has suddenly gained a myriad of whole new meanings. Are you alive? Are you safe? How are you feeling? Do you need help? Do you still have a safe place to stay? – these are just a very few of them. This question has become the ultimate expression of love and support, an expression of much-needed hope that helps to survive yet another day full of uncertainty and danger to life. Ukrainian artists, whose feature films and video works were put together for the How Are You? screening program providentially posed this question in both the private and public domain, exposing Ukrainian reality of the years prior to the invasion i.e. during the war in Donbas that has lasted since 2014. Their inquiries engage with a wide spectrum of subjects and vary in execution, though the faint silhouette of war and the violence it brings looms in each and every work. Evidently, the scariest answer to the posed question is silence. So, the artists chose to speak out loud, even if their answer so far is grievous I’m not OK.
