Tenthaus Art Collective, curator of the 12th edition of the MOMENTUM biennale.
MOMENTUM 12 | Together as to gather
Artist collective Tenthaus curated the 12th edition of the MOMENTUM biennale, titled “Together as to gather.” Characterised by an open, process-oriented form of participation and collaboration, the focus was on local contexts, exploring collectivity and inclusion through different forms of engagement. For the biennale, members of the collective each invited an artist or collective to take part and it was through this curatorial process, that points of intersection and connecting threads were discovered between the participants, which included over 100 artists and collectives from around the world.
Described by e-flux Criticism as a “varied constellation of works that make important statements about critical issues such as collectivity, sustainability, and precocity”, the biennale was received to wide international acclaim, where it was featured in La Vanguardia and a*desk (Spain), Metro TV (Indonesia), Deutschlandfunk, Arts of the Working Class, Kunstforum (Germany), Il Fatto Quotidiano and Il Sole 24 Ore (Italy), Yahoo! (Japan), Le Quotidien de l’art (France), A mű - HVG (Hungary), MAP magazine, BBC News (UK), Iskusstvo (Russia), among many others.
Organised by Galleri F 15, MOMENTUM 12 opened on 10 June and ended on 8 October 2023, taking place in Alby, on the island of Jeløya and in Moss, Norway.
