News – AP KunstArt Fund

Nothing is settled when times are shifting. Neither lines, colors, dimensions or words. Houses are moving, so do streets, names and concrete. Rituals, categories and daily life – transform. And the change comes closer, inevitably. Nostalgia and lost time are a part of the safety net that we like to sew everyday in front of the unknown tomorrow. During the exhibition we want and need to take a look at those changes. Spaces and areas where we’re welcoming new perspectives, exploating what is gone and hoping for better future. Material reality, that should be the core, transforms as well. And this would be the main idea of the exhibition. Nostalgia and material melancholies – technologies that are gone and those overtaking the future. The Sims, Second life, TikTok or NFT. Destroyed pavements of your childhood. Broken windows and first mobile phones. Everything that seemed to be the turning point of the future though now it’s already unnecessary, forgotten or just covered in dust. Our old dreams are today’s trash. Burden that we’re carrying. How would you deal with that?

We do not look for answers, we’re looking for poetic statements from different parts of the world.

Momentum Gallery 06 – No longer valid

Posted on March 13, 2022 by apkunstart

21 stories from around the world. Different languages, narratives and forms of expression. This is new AP KunstArt Fund international exhibition: No longer valid.

It all started in January, when we had high hopes for the new year. As a foundation team – we brainstormed, and decided that we’d like to rethink what is really behind us. Ideas, forms, feelings that we stick to sometimes seem already like a rememberance from the past. A crumb that is no longer useful but somehow sticks to the surface and changes the form.

And then everything changed. As much as we try to stay away from the politics, one cannot stay away from war. European peace is over and we’re all trying to build from pieces that are just being crushed. Suddenly asking what is No longer valid got a new dimension.

The happier we are that we received wonderful submissions from Ukrainian artists: Vlad Nikorchuk, Artem Humilevskyi, Anastasia Milova, Daria Pugachova, Kostyantyn Militynskyy – we are proud to exhibit their works.

With No longer valid exhibition we’re diving deep into contemporary and – at the same time – timeless issues. Ecology, gender identieties, memory and myths. And of course – forms. Sufficient, intriguing, open. As we’re not looking for answers, just for questions.

Feel invited to join this artistic journey, both at the exhibition and with this booklet. We give space for artists so they can speak for themselves and their work, intentions and goals.

Vlad Nikorchuk, Ukraine

Artem Humilevskiy, Ukraine

Anastasia Milova, Ukraine

Open call – Momentum Gallery, march 2022

Posted on February 13, 2022 by apkunstart

Last December we had a pleasure of hosting an amazing international exhibition “Traces of the Future” – we presented works by 18 Artists who responded to our open call. Now we’re inviting you to another open call for the exhibition “No longer valid”. Below you’ll find exhibition and all technical info. Open call is open till 21.02. 6pm (CET).

We’re looking forward your works!

“No longer valid“

Exhibition title is No longer valid and we’re looking for artworks dealing with losses and abandoned meanings wishing for a ray of nostalgia. Do not dive into easy pathways and nostalgic moods from the past. Find today’s stories that already seem to be no longer valid. Spaces that no longer serve their purposes, identieties that are still „in progress”, goods that no longer should be made or bought, trends that seem attractive but smell like past.

We do not look for answers, we’re looking for poetic statements from different parts of the world.

Wiener Klassiker.

Posted on September 16, 2021October 12, 2021 by apkunstart

Vienna is a city with two faces. This classic one: rich, full of art, Freud, history and bittnerness of the past. And this new one: the one that is being named as „the best city in the world” (by Mercer competition). This second face is not Stephansplatz and neither Klimt is. It’s more to be found around Hauptbanhof, Praterstern or Seestadt, it constitutes in comfortable living, available apartments, public transport and greenery.

Beata Malinowska-Petelenz, touched by nostalgia and urban melancholy, comes back to Vienna with her own traces. Continues her drifting with a sketchbook and invites us to visit the best city in the world. She leads us via streets woven with lines, details and imagined spaces that stay untouched by time. „Wiener Klassiker” means classy and timeless, it’s an immortal reference and one of the hearts of former Galicia. It means places that are and still demand being discovered.

Exhibition of Vienna drawings is organised with contrast perspective – you’ll find here both wide open spaces as well as details and small, usually not even seen, parts that tourist passes by. Architecture, as the flesh of the city, becomes independent and intimate, overgrowing it’s usual pragmaticness.
