‘Six minutes’ is an extension of this year’s Rijksakademie Open Studios and presents time-based works by current residents. The collection of works not only reflects the diversity of practices and influences that emerge within a two-year international residency but also brings into perspective the conditions under which durational practice takes place today. Conditions here can be understood as the position the artist takes as well as the time, expenses and labour spent working on the film. Additionally, the title refers to the strategies employed during the editing process in order to adapt the work from the studio to the screen while attempting to stay within a specified screening time.  

The programme has been co-organised by Rijksakademie residents Jackie Karuti, Abdo Zin Eldin and Silvia Gatti in conversation with Eye on Art senior programmer Anna Abrahams.

The programme is structured in three categories:  

‘Digital Infrastructures’ gathers works that experiment with sound and digital poetry, computer generated animation and game development. ‘The Short Film’ presents works in their original length or as excerpts adapted to fit the time allocated while articulating a textured visual language through different formats. Finally, ‘The Body and Performance’ brings together performances both live and adapted for the screen. Created in intimate spaces such as the house and the studio, the body experiments and extends itself through space, movement, touch and sound. 

The programme features work by Fransisca Angela, Nora Aurrekoetxea Etxebarria, AYO, Silvia Gatti, Lili Huston-Herterich, Astrit Ismaili, Jort van der Laan, Lucas Lugarinho, Maksud Ali Mondal, Wynnie Mynerva, Hasan Özgür Top, Lotte Werkema, Jessica Wilson and Abdo Zin Eldin.
