Storage Room of the Museum of the Contemporary

Storageroom
of The collection of the Museum of the Contemporary

Storageroom features complete digitized exhibitions ready for download and  display at various venues by secondary curators

The Storageroom features complete exhibitions that are available for download, which underwent a process of digitalization so as to preserve the full quality after they have been downloaded in their respective formats (video, sound, photography, text etc.). After they have been downloaded, the exhibitions could be displayed in the venues available to the secondary curators (those who chose to download the exhibitions) and the conditions they have at their disposal.
The same exhibition could be displayed simultaneously by agents of completely dissimilar nature and financial means: as the exhibition will be displayed differently, and convey cultural and curatorial perceptions that reflect not only the perception of the exhibition’s curators, but also those of the secondary curators displaying it.

Steps:

1. Exhibition digitized preserving the full quality of media. Exhibiting recommendations and instructions compiled.

2. Exhibition is uploaded by artist or curator, copyright delegated to Storageroom

3. Exhibition downloaded by secondary curator, undigitized and exhibited at available venue

The Storage Room and The Museum of the Contemporary are projects by Sala-Manca Collective, developed at Mamuta at the Daniela Passal Art and Media Center.

Collaborators: Dgital Art LAb Center (Holon); xero, kline & coma (London)

About Us

The Mamuta Project is a center for artistic creation, encounters, research, and display of art. The Center, is an artist’s run space, developed and directed by the Sala-Manca Group. Mamuta is comprised of artists’ workspaces; video, sound, and electronics labs; a wood, metal, and plastics workshop. The goal of the project is to advance art projects and to create a framework for artists from different media, as well as curators, architects, designers, and researchers, who wish to create in the spirit of cooperation, dialogue, and technological innovation.

Mamuta offers guidance and support for the development of its artists’ individual projects, and initiates and produces projects at the Center as well as at other sites in and outside of Jerusalem—in cooperation with institutions and individuals in Israel and abroad. The project is dedicated to creating conditions for developing an active community of artists, allowing for personal development alongside collaborative work, through an engagement with the place and time.
