Ausstellung/Exhibition
In November – December 2013, MOMENTUM inaugurates
its process-based residency program, in collaboration
with TRAFO Art Center, Szczecin. The Residency
reactivates the MOMENTUM gallery space as a living
studio. Located in the Kunstquartier Bethanien, the
gallery space was formerly the site of one of Berlin’s
most exceptional international artist residencies, the
Kunstlerhaus Bethanien. Originally a hospital built in the
mid-19th century, the building was repurposed as
artists’ quarters in 1973, with exhibition spaces, studios
and project spaces – remaining an active art center to
this day.
Through the Residency Exchange with TRAFO Art Center,
MOMENTUM hosts a Polish artist, Szczecin-based Natalia
Szostak, and a Polish curator, Poznan-based Aurelia
Nowak. By inviting artists and curators to live, work, and
show in this space, MOMENTUM brings the process of
creation back into the exhibition space and invites the
public to experience a synergetic creative matrix,
resulting in a reworking of conventional gallery practice.
During the residency, the space will remain open to the
public, shedding new light on the role of the gallery
within the creative process.
In turn, the TRAFO Art Center hosts the German sculptor
Andreas Blank, and the Dutch painter, Jarik Jongman.
TRAFO Trafostacja Sztuki in Szczecin is the first center for
contemporary art in the northwest of Poland. Founded in
2013, TRAFO takes advantage of its geographical
potential – the cross-border location within the Baltic
Sea region and the immediate vicinity of Berlin, the
cultural capital of this part of Europe. TRAFO was
founded in an exceptional moment in the history of
Szczecin, when the city is in the process of establishing
its identity as a new artistic and cultural center. It acts
as a bridge between the art scene of Szczecin and its
neighboring city Berlin, the emerging global art capital,
and the surrounding regions. TRAFO works with
contemporary artists to take an active part in the
process of forming a new, experimental aesthetic
quality. The center features and promotes contemporary
artists, organizes activities in the fields of education,
publishing, international cooperation and exchange,
including the Artist Residency exchange with MOMENTUM
Berlin. TRAFO’s Artist-in-Residence program provides an
unconventional space for artists where they can live and
work, at the same time offering visitors an opportunity
to observe the creative process.
Process-based residencies, by allowing access to an
artist’s creative process, act to reveal the apparatus of
production behind the final product. As such, they
contribute to the demystification of the art object and
allow insights into the creative process, from conception
to the many stages of execution. Process-based
residencies are an instantiation of what John Baldessari
termed “Post-Studio Artâ€. He encouraged students to
“stop daubing away at canvases or chipping away at
stone†and embrace a wider framework for art
production, and to thus question traditional modes of
production, distribution and reception of art. Following
the tennets of artists as diverse as Murakami Saburo of
the Gutai Group, and Theaster Gates at Documenta 13,
the MOMENTUM – TRAFO Residency Exchange brings to
life the idea that the role of process is as important to
artistic creation as the final result, and the process of
creation can become an artwork in itself.
This Residency, in partnership with TRAFO Trafostacja
Sztuki in Szczecin, is made possible by the Foundation
for German-Polish Cooperation.
