Fourteen One Minutes
Curated by Arnoud Holleman
New Normalism is a term that changes almost every time we use it. At the time of the Open Call in April, New Normalism was part of an idealistic narrative of change. Over the months, we’ve learned that Covid-19 will be around for a while. Meanwhile, New Normalism has been claimed by both left and right, without giving proper directions of what it should or could be. In the fourteen selected One Minutes, the confusion of the pandemic is tangible, it is hard to get a grip on something so vast and still unknown. But together, and placed in associative order, they make for a clear voice. Images reveal what words cannot contain.
Seventeen One Minutes
Curated by Misha de Ridder
‘so real, so very now’ is curated by Misha de Ridder and is intended as an exercise in seeing: to look, to look again and to look anew. Perception is the point of departure for a series of experiments in video within the restraint of one minute.
Twenty-Four One Minutes
Curated by Jesse Darling
“There are different ways to tell a story. I wanted to think about the way we bear ongoing witness to our own lives, and how this material tells bigger stories about the material, technological and socio-economic circumstances of the past and present. I wanted to give space to the unreliable narrator and the chaos of memory. To take seriously the political dimension of telling stories through the low fidelity, poor images and unobjective close-ups that we are often left with in contrast to sovereign forms of cinema (newsreel, advertisement, video-essay). Building on these ideas, in reconnaissance and reclamation, here are 24 video-poems, as true and accurate as any other form of storytelling, or perhaps even more so.”
Jesse Darling, April 2020
Fourteen One Minutes
Curated by Minhong Yu
The power of transparency is curated by Minhong Yu and consists of 14 One Minute videos made by artists in isolation in China, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Now that the whole world is locked down at home, we all are united in isolation. Despite of being restrained, there is no limitation to our imagination. Close your eyes and let what is opaque become transparent. Transparency is the perfect camouflage. If there is nothing to hide, why do we fear transparency? Can we practice transparency to transfer and filter overwhelming information? How can we become transparent to reflect our emotions in an imbalance of power?
Twenty-Three One Minute Healing Tools

"very relevant and beautiful" Young Stedelijk

Fifteen One Minutes on Witches
Curated by Juliette Lizotte
‘Witches’ is curated by Juliette Lizotte and consists of 15 works by artists from France, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and United States of America. They collectively explore the subversive character of the witch: marginal, powerful and disruptive, with an unsettling relation to nature.
And celebrate the powers of witches, their spell casting, witchcraft’s engagement with unconventional and unrecognized knowledges. While the witch is often presented as evil, we should argue – supported by many feminist writings – that she is unruly, unapologetic, living a life of her own, holding responsibilities towards community and nature – if she even makes the difference between the two. Through her craft she shapes a world she had envisioned and cares for. She is a designer, a maker of change and transformation.
11 One Minutes
Curated by Jerszy Seymour
The One Minutes Series ‘Real Sur Real’ is curated by Jerszy Seymour. ‘Real Sur Real’ consists of 11 works by artists and filmmakers from Germany, the Netherlands, Taiwan, South Korea and United Kingdom. Together, the videos create a Non Utopian Utopian Vision.
If the surreal could be seen as a seeking of truth to get to the core of meaning by creating fantastic cracks in reality and access to other worlds, then it could be seen as limited and laid impotent by representation, and if the real could be seen as truth based in no representation and therefore potent in the actual then it could be seen as lacking the imagination to conceive of something else outside of the perspective of the real, the Real Sur Real is a paradoxical perspective that tries to go past these two limitations. The call for the Real Sur Real is a call to dare to be in the world, and to simultaneously create the world that we don’t know and could equally be framed as a Non Gesamt Gesamt Kunstwerk or a Non Utopian Utopian Vision.
15 strange minutes
Curated by Joseph Popper
‘Martians Send Videos Home’ is curated by Joseph Popper. Together, the videos explore the concept of estrangement. The series title derives from Craig Raine’s poem ‘A Martian Sends a Postcard Home’, which defamiliarises the everyday by describing objects and rituals through the misunderstanding eyes of a Martian character visiting Earth.
To estrange can be a way of making sense or a vehicle for critique, where reality is to be ‘truly’ seen when made strange or imagined as constructed and therefore changeable. In other words, estrangements can render complex ideas sensible or complexify what is simply taken for granted.
In 15 strange minutes, actual and virtual worlds collide; nature is revered, tamed and impersonated; the human body becomes a host and instrument; simple changes of framing reveal the fantastic strangeness of the once considered mundane.
15 One Minutes
Curated by Harm van den Dorpel
‘Artificial Scarcity’ is curated by Harm van den Dorpel. The series consists of 15 one-minute videos responding to the concept of artificial scarcity, the social and political implications of algorithmic modes of existence, and artificial intelligence-generated compositions.

Thirty-seven One Minutes
Curated by Studio David Claerbout
‘Enjoy your file, download your life’ is curated by Studio David Claerbout. The title is a switch on “Download your file, Enjoy your life”. Life or file oftentimes in our present perception seems almost undistinguishable. Only a switch of two letters, and one is either on this or the other side of the real or the virtual. The lived or the preserved. The experienced or the watched.
From the vast The One Minutes Collection, Studio David Claerbout made a very subjective choice of thirty-seven videos of different lives, voices, perspectives, imaginations, fun, pain, madness and peace.
Twelve One Minute Compositions
Curated by Cally Spooner
‘Micro-Composition’ is curated by Cally Spooner. The series consists of 12 One Minute contributions invited by Spooner from writers, musicians, exhibition makers, architects and poets who understand well that, no matter how brief, and how urgently assembled, a composition is a composition because it is a continuous present. A distribution of patience, duration, time-sense and equilibrium; an ‘arrangement made’.
Seventeen One Minute Puppets
Curated by David Henry Nobody Jr
‘The Human Puppet’ is curated by David Henry Nobody Jr. The Human Puppet asks artists to look within and portray themselves as an existential Puppet, whose strings are pulled by a modern life immersed in a dark corporatist simulated reality. What is real and what is not? The illusions of the self and the puppets we live in are dissected personally by each creator in the show.
Twenty-four One Minutes
Curated and assembled by Ana Vaz

She invited artists and filmmakers whose work trust cinema’s capacity to transform relationships between the body and the camera to propose works that will engage with both perception and embodiment.

Twenty One Minutes
Curated by Melanie Bonajo
Communication with the Non-Human is curated by Melanie Bonajo. The series consists of twenty One Minutes. “What does a plant know? What goes on inside the mind of funny bot? Do PMS dolphins turn into cranky bitches? All around us, complex systems of giving and receiving are performed by rather ancient and marginalized machines like corals, grass, seahorses and even rather primitive creatures, such as dogs and families. Through practical observation, the multifarious communication between humans and non-humans can be viewed as responsive behavior, defined by one designating the future behavior of all. Let’s think over this arrangement for a while. Otherwise we might, in the near future, end up belonging to that misunderstood class, at odds with its environment.”
Fourteen One Minutes
Curated by Egill Sæbjörnsson

We are all victims of our own fears.
Ten One Minutes
Initiated by Helen Dowling
‘we do the voodoo – play on continuity and rhythm from one artist to another.’ is initiated by Helen Dowling. The series consists of ten One Minutes.
Taking the title ‘we do the voodoo’ from the idea of possession and rhythmic entrainment Helen Dowling has initiated a video program that relied upon each artist responding to the previous artist’s one-minute video and nominating the next artist to do the same. Modelled roughly on the Exquisite Corpse drawing game invented by the Surrealists, this is an experiment with the rhythm and contingency between artists and the structure of The One Minutes organisation.

One of the films was made by Hans Aarsman himself. He had an uncle Loek, one of those characters found in every family, who told unforgettable stories.

Fifteen One Minutes
curated by Jens Maier-Rothe
‘But her eyes said that gunshot knew he had a creation, and that was why parrot was wise of bulk’ is selected by Jens Maier-Rothe and is inspired by the wondrous world of spam poetry, automated emails from the chicks with dicks on how we make that extra mega buck from home, ditzy television shows and videos from the local home depot store, brainy quotes and hairy proverbs in our daily mail – in short, all the stuffy decor that clutters our brains and follows us everywhere because it’s deep and sublime, and we know it. Separating wolds from the bushy filigree was a fragmentary orange of ice. Anyone can win the heart of audiences by putting on just the right shades of rosy rails.
Eleven Football One Minutes

Twenty One Minutes
Curated by Xue Mu
IN.NO.SENSE is curated by Xue Mu and consists of twenty one-minute films by various artists exploring the states in between nothingness and significance.
IN.NO.SENSE is a made-up homonym for the word INNOCENCE, to thwart the confinement of language and its semantic limits. When ‘something does not make sense’, the general interpretation would be there is no logic, it is unclear, or it’s useless. Could there be another interpretation?
Some films represent the artists’ observation on trivial matters with wonderment, some show the processes of contemplation in the micro/macro world, and a few works come along with poetical commentary on the current human conditions - be it subtle, upright or allegorical. With or without intentions altogether the artists conceived an aimless wander in the realm of quiddity, in chaos and order, with an un-preconditioned liveliness.
Fifteen One Minutes

Twenty-six One Minute films
curated by Arnar Ásgeirsson
Deep Blue brings the tales of water. We have explored only 5% of the world’s oceans. The undiscovered majority of the ocean has been part of heroic stories; it is a sailors grave and a vikings funeral. What we know about the deep blue and what we use of it can be compared to how we use the Internet, just the tip of the iceberg.
Arnar Ásgeirsson selected One Minutes with an apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic feel to them, almost science fiction, referring to his surroundings in Iceland that, according to Ásgeirsson, often feels like a sci-fi film.
8 One Minutes
Curated by Bar None
The One Minutes Series Islas Inútiles is curated by Bar None and consist of eight Intimate portrayals of Dutch Caribbean identity by visual artists and filmmakers. What has remained unseen that needs to be seen?
After the Spanish "discovered" the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, they dubbed the islands “Islas Inútiles”, Useless Islands. The Dutch Caribbean, including Saba, St. Eustatius (Statia), St. Maarten (SXM) and their diaspora are clumped together even though they differ culturally from each other. And even though officially, colonialism is over, the culturally mis- and underrepresentation of these members of the Dutch Kingdom has left the term “Islas Inútiles” as a whole still ringing true.

Twenty-One One Minute films
handpicked from the archive
For The One Minutes Series 49, The One Minutes team selected One Minutes from the elaborate collection. There are so many pearls beyond price as the three young coureurs being put to a stop by a vision in 2003 by Nicolas Provost or the film from 2006 by Belgium artist Pavel Dundas, known for his humorous cinematography and short films. He throws around with country music, a chicken filet, and marinade. A recent film is by David Djindjikhachvili, showing a Kyrgyzstan encounter. An almost romantic, dreamlike scenery which volatile moves.
