Arguably the most exciting platform for contemporary art in the Nordic region, Momentum is held every two years in Moss, a town just outside of Oslo. While past editions of Momentum have seen themes such as &#8220;Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better&#8221; in 2006 and &#8220;Tunnel Vision&#8221; in 2015, this year&#8217;s event\u00a0will focus on various interpretations surrounding the concept of\u00a0&#8220;Alienation&#8221;.<br \/>\nWork from over 30 artists hailing from all over the world will be exhibited at various venues around the city, including\u00a0Momentum Kunsthall and Galleri F 15. Some artists have chosen to explore\u00a0alienation as\u00a0the locational and social displacement of refugees \u2013 a topic which has been dominating European news for the past two years \u2013 as well as the displacement caused by climate change. Alternatively, other artists have focused on alienation with regards to technological development, which\u00a0has advanced at a pace that&#8217;s impossible to keep up with. In both situations, we are taken out of our comfort zones and pushed into the unknown \u2013 the alien \u2013 and left confused.<br \/>\nMomentum 9 brings together a wide range of pieces providing\u00a0inter-disciplinary methods of understanding and explaining our fast-changing environments and how to deal with them. In order to avoid\u00a0feelings of alienation within\u00a0our own bodies, the biennial welcomes the alien as an opportunity to expand our minds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51560 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Jone-Kvie_Untitled-carrier-s-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1736\" \/> Jone Kvie, Untitled (Carrier), 2006, photo by Anders Sune, courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Jenna-Sutela_Gut-Machine-Poetry_photo-Mikko-Gaestel-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1002\" \/> Jenna Sutela, Gut-Machine Poetry, 2017, Photo by Mikko Gaestel, courtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/patricia_piccinini_atlas_silicone_fiberglass_humanhair_autopaint_84x54x50cm_2012_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1950\" \/> Patricia Piccinini, Atlas, Silicone, fiberglass, human hair, car paint, 84x54x50cm, 2012, Courtesy the artist<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Momentum 9\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/215788711?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
