The One Minutes. Squeeze Crush Press Blush

A crack in the gloss, a break, a rupture, a split, a breach, a slit, a smack, a smash, a blow, a bang or a grind. Our mind is our container.

The selected One Minutes were sent in from China, Belgium, Finland, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Suriname, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Afra Eisma

Afra Eisma creates intimate worlds bursting with colour and energy. Her work consists of tufted carpets, ceramics, drawings, paintings and textiles that lead to radiant tactile installations in which connection and generosity are central. She studied fine arts at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague and Central Saint Martin's in London. She has recently shown work at the Fries Museum, 1646 and Vleeshal (all in the Netherlands), and garden lab (Kyoto, Japan).

Marnix van Uum

Marnix van Uum works with media (video, photography and text) that have descriptive qualities and thus seem to depict (fragments of) reality. He received his BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, as well as his BA in media studies from the University of Amsterdam. Marnix has recently shown work at the MACA Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Alicante (Spain), the Wrong Biennale (international/online), and Art Rotterdam (the Netherlands).

The One Minutes

Using the forces of video, The One Minutes wants to contribute to creating spaces for free expression, collective imagination, and global solidarity in our different, yet deeply interconnected realities. Every two months, The One Minutes releases a new series of one-minute films exploring our current time in moving images. Museums and cultural organisations around the world subscribe to the series. Send in your videos and become part of The One Minutes!
