Revision as of 11:29, 7 October 2016

MoTA Museum of Transitory Art is a platform for experimental and technologically inquisitive art forms. It serves as a production vehicle for setting up music concerts, audiovisual acts, visual art exhibitions, public interventions, art residencies and an abundance of other artistically charged activities. Its programme predominantly takes place at various Ljubljana venues, yet also on the web and very frequently around the world.

This non-profit cultural organisation was founded in 2007 as a continuation of the CodeEp art collective and enterprise. Besides partaking in various international endeavours, MoTA cooperates with literally dozens of Slovene organisations, venues and festivals, among them the Speculum Artium Festival, the Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, the Sploh Institute, and Kino Šiška.

Venue

MoTA styles itself as a museum without a permanent collection or a fixed space, but as of 2013 it does run its own venue. First there was the now defunct MoTA Point, which housed a dense programme of concerts and exhibitions and was used as an occasional working space for resident artists and workshops. It got closed in spring 2016, yet a new location was established in the Šiška neighbourhood soon after, called the MoTA LAB.

Most of the bigger MoTA's productions are taking place at the Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture.

Music, sound art and audio-visual productions

Since its inception MoTA has been running a diverse programme of concerts, focusing on contemporary electronica and improvised music. As a part of the Sonica Series, the Spring Festival and several of its more sporadic projects it booked the likes of Fennesz, Senking, Blixa Bargeld, William Basinski, Teho Teardo, Keith Rowe, Plaid, Clark, and many others. In a somewhat different vein the Sonica Classics series stages artists like the minimalist pioneer Charlemagne Palestine, the idiosyncratic lute player Jozef Van Wissem and the cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir. For a time MoTA was also setting up live cinema events (held primarily at Kinodvor Cinema) called CinemaScapes. Some of the featured artists were Olga Mink and Scanner, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Mira Calix, and Byetone.

MoTA's biggest production is the annual Sonica International Festival of Transitory Art. Featuring AV and music performances, art installations and lectures, Sonica presents artists like Tim Hecker, Rashad Becker, Emptyset, Random Logic, and Takami Nakamoto. The festival traditionally utilises different Ljubljana venues like the MoTA Point/LAB, the Slovenian Cinematheque, Tovarna Rog, the Križevniška Church and Klub K4.

Installations and other contemporary art projects

MoTa boasts an extremely varied programme of art projects that frequently, in one way or another, feature sound among their primary components. But a few of the featured artists are Nik Nowak (DE), Jan Vormann (DE), Bram Vreven (NL), Svetlana Maraš (RS), the Greta Rusttt arts collective (DE), Lenka Đorojević and Matej Stupica (who presented the OHO awarded installation Nevromat) and Irena Tomažin (with her audiovisual installation Faces of voices / noise, inspired by the question "What would a portrait of a certain voice look like?"). Many of them were invited to hold lectures, set up workshops and cooperate in the Artist's Talk discussions.

Martin Bricelj Baraga art

Martin Bricelj Baraga, the director of the MoTA Museum institute, is a highly prolific author himself. His works are often large-scale installations set in public spaces and unusual architectural contexts.

Among his works are The Cyanometer, a monolith that gathers data of the blueness of the sky and the quality of air and visualises them; the Moonolith, an interactive monument that reflects the Moon and star constellations on its surface; the Darkstar, a large interactive piece on which more than 30 artists, programmers, architects and musicians collaborated; and RoboVox, an 8m high robot set on a public square, to whom one could send telephone messages which he would then read aloud. Baraga collaborated with the renowned musician Olaf Bender (aka Bytone, DE) on a kinetic sound sculpture consisting of a matrix of 99 black balloons and called Neunundneunzig (99). He also collaborates with MoTA's producer Neja Tomšič on Nonuments, a long term project of research and artistic production that deals with monuments, landmarks and other symbolically laden public spaces. In addressing this they were awarded a fellowship at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

He presented his works at Némo (FR), Kinetica Art Fair (UK), TodaysArt (NL), Glow Next (where Baraga got awarded the first prize in 2013), ICA (UK), Galerie Fernand Leger (FR), Sonar (ES), Columbia University (US), Fact (UK), Centro Cultural Recoleta (AR), Kunsthaus (AT), Kaapelithas (FI), etc. His works were written about in such media outlets like Wired, boingboing.net, Pecha Kucha, New York Art Magazine and Harper Collins.

Impermanent Museum collection

Over the years MoTA has established its so called Impermanent Museum collection Arte/Facts. Featuring a selection of works by artists that they’ve with since 2007, these are not really works as such rather than parts or residues of an artistic process. Some of the artists included are Arjan Pregl, Jan Vormann, Karina Smigla-Bobinski, Adam Basanta, Uršula Berlot, Zimoun, Nik Nowak and Stephen Cornford. MoTA presents this collection at art fairs, among them the Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm in 2015.

MoTA artist agency

MoTA has a longer history of representing artists abroad, starting with the director Martin Bricelj Baraga himself. Its presence – via the local artists Irena Tomažin, Miha Ciglar, and Neja Tomšič – at the High Zero and Transmodern festivals and the Current gallery in Baltimore (US) also comes to mind.

Yet the year 2015 marks MoTA's semi-official entry into the art world as an agency. Its profile is accordingly broad and is featuring audiovisual works by the Serbian duo WoO and Incredible Bob, large public scale installations by Baraga and Nik Nowak, the London based club act Spatial, and a selection of sound based gallery works – Faces of Voices.Noise by the vocalist Irena Tomažin.

The Artists's Talk project

In 2010, MoTA launched the project Artist Talk, an online portal for publishing, disseminating and archiving high quality video recordings of interviews and lectures given by artists, curators, theorists and others working in the fields of art, activism and theory.

This initiative, still an on-going series of live events, is a product of three contemporary art and new media centres from Eastern and central Europe (MoTA Ljubljana, CIANT Prague and WRO Wroclaw). It is based on the idea of free distribution of ideas and knowledge. A partial result of the interviews conducted as a part of Artist's Talk is the book Outerviews, first presented at the 15th WRO Media Art Biennale in Wroclow.

International partnerships

MoTA is (or has been) involved in various international networks and partnerships. Among them is T.R.I.B.E. – Transitory Research Initiative of the Balkans and Eastern Europe, which started as a residency network in 2012 and connected Ljubljana, Prague, Istanbul and Nicosia. It hosted more than 15 artists and researchers, organised two symposiums and resulted in a publication Exercises in transitory art.

Another network MoTA got involved in is called Artecitya brings together artists, architects, town planners and citizens for, as they say, "envisioning the city of tomorrow” with the aim of improving the quality of life. MoTA was also part of the ALIPI: Advancing Light-driven Public Interactions project, of the ICAS – International Cities of Advanced Sound network, of the GALA Green Art Lab Alliance project, the Swiss Music Day 2015, and numerous others.

Transitory network and the artist-in-residence programme

Since 2008 MoTA has been running an artist-in-residence programme in Ljubljana for media, sound or visual artists, curators and researchers. So far MoTA has hosted and produced the work of more than 15 artists, among them Nedine Kachornnamsong, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada, Felix Thorn, ArtKillArt, and Lexa Walsh. Some of these residencies were done in collaboration with Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab. In 2010, MoTA established the Transitory Network of residencies in Eastern Europe.

The SHAPE network

The SHAPE project is a 3-year initiative that (re)unites 16 European non-profit organisations active within the ICAS – International Cities of Advanced Sound network to create a platform that aims to support, promote, and exchange emergent musicians and interdisciplinary artists with an interest in sound. SHAPE stands for “Sound, Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe”.

48 musicians and artists are chosen annually to participate in a mix of live performances, residencies, workshops and talks across member festivals and special events. Under the auspices of SHAPE MoTA, for example, produced its own event featuring performances and art installations at the Apiary Studios in London

Tomaž Brate Reading room and Mediatheque

In 2009, MoTA and Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana have opened a reading room and a mediatheque in the Jakopič Gallery, which consists of a vast collection of books belonging to Tomaž Brate as well as the MoTA book collection. The reading room serves also as the MoTA info point with information on resident artists, current, past and future projects, and archives.

Jakopič Gallery serves also as an information point for the MoTA - Museum of Transitory Art activities.
