The One Minutes started out in 1998 as a show on local television in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Sandberg Instituut, Masters of Art and Design was invited to fill an hour of airtime once a month, between midnight and one A.M. Then two students asked their friends and family to make one-minute films. A brilliant new format was born. Within the inexorable limit of 60 seconds, it turned out, anything was possible, whether it's a formal investigation, a statement, an experiment, a short narrative or a documentary.
一分鐘影像于1998年在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹以一個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)氐碾娨暪?jié)目起步。桑德伯格學(xué)院，藝術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)的研究學(xué)院曾被邀請(qǐng)每個(gè)月為藝術(shù)時(shí)間頻道制作一小時(shí)節(jié)目，時(shí)間就在午夜到凌晨1點(diǎn)之間。有兩名學(xué)生隨后邀請(qǐng)他們的朋友和家人來(lái)制作時(shí)長(zhǎng)僅為1分鐘的影像，一個(gè)很好的藝術(shù)形式就這樣開(kāi)創(chuàng)了出來(lái)。然而在嚴(yán)格的60秒時(shí)間內(nèi)，事實(shí)證明任何事都是可能的，無(wú)論是一場(chǎng)嚴(yán)肅的調(diào)查，一則聲明，一次實(shí)驗(yàn)，一場(chǎng)簡(jiǎn)短的敘事又或是一個(gè)紀(jì)錄片。
For the spectator The One Minutes offers a provocative experience, a challenging way of viewing moving image. The strength of the format comes from the films’ diversity on every imaginable level. Making watching them in sequence an overwhelming experience. It opens you up to the diversity of the work and makes you long for even more variation, more surprises, more amazement. That is what makes The One Minutes so compelling.
對(duì)于觀眾來(lái)說(shuō)一分鐘影像為他們提供了刺激的體驗(yàn)，一個(gè)具有挑戰(zhàn)性的方式來(lái)觀看移動(dòng)影像。這種形式的力量來(lái)自于影像本身在各層面的多樣性，這就讓逐一觀看它們成為了一場(chǎng)拙力的體驗(yàn)，它向你打開(kāi)了作品的多樣性并讓你渴望能看到作品更多的變化，更多驚喜，更多驚訝。一分鐘影像也因此能夠如此引人注目。
The One Minutes Foundation’s core activity is it’s monthly series, that enables the creation of new films. Other important activities include the workshops we initiate locally and abroad. In this respect The One Minutes Jr., our division for youth, is also notable. We aim to be an organisation that creators and curators recognise and embrace as a place where they can experiment, produce and show film to a broad audience in an authentic way.
一分鐘影像基金會(huì)的核心項(xiàng)目是其每月一次的影像系列，它實(shí)現(xiàn)了新影像的誕生。其他一些重要的項(xiàng)目包括了我們?cè)诋?dāng)?shù)睾蛧?guó)外發(fā)起的工作坊，在這方面一分鐘影像Jr.作為我們的青年項(xiàng)目部門也同樣值得關(guān)注。我們致力于成為能夠被創(chuàng)作人和策展人共同認(rèn)可的一個(gè)組織，成為一個(gè)使他們能夠進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)，制作以及用最本真的方式向國(guó)外觀眾展示影像的平臺(tái)。
In terms of content The One Minutes exists at the intersection of art and film. For artists this can mean an opportunity to experiment and to present their work outside the bounderies of their oevre. A democratic platform where art functions also outside the context of the art world. Established artists are encouraged to forge alliances with up and coming artists, amateurs, art and film students and even youth, opening up new territories for makers and audience.
在內(nèi)容方面一分鐘影像則處于藝術(shù)與影像的交點(diǎn)上，這對(duì)于藝術(shù)家來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，能讓他們進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)并在常規(guī)界限之外呈現(xiàn)他們的作品。它又是一個(gè)民主的平臺(tái)，在這里藝術(shù)功能體現(xiàn)于藝術(shù)世界的語(yǔ)境之外。已成名的藝術(shù)家會(huì)被鼓勵(lì)去和新興藝術(shù)家，業(yè)余愛(ài)好者，藝術(shù)和影像專業(yè)的學(xué)生甚至青少年等建立合作聯(lián)盟，為創(chuàng)作人和觀眾開(kāi)拓新的領(lǐng)域。
The one hour at midnight on local tv grew into a worldwide platform. As a result sister organizations emerged, while television channels, arts institutions and film festivals all adopted segments of The One Minutes, each introducing it’s own interpretation.
午夜一分鐘影像在當(dāng)?shù)仉娨暪?jié)目里逐漸成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)世界的平臺(tái)。結(jié)果之一則是電視節(jié)目頻道，藝術(shù)空間和電影節(jié)都曾采用一分鐘影像的片段且每一個(gè)都用自己的方式闡述著這些片段。
In 2000, the first The One Minutes Workshop in Xiamen University was held. Since then we have witnessed the development of The One Minutes in China. In 2008, Chinese artists participated in the Venice Biennale as part of The One Minutes. In 2009, the first The One Minutes Awards ceremony took place in Shanghai. In 2010, City One Minutes were presented at EXPO Shanghai. Since 2011, The One Minutes is a returning section in the annual Shanghai International TV Festival.
In time, The One Minutes became a bridge of cultural exchange between Chinese and international artists, filmmakers and students.
2000年，中國(guó)的第一個(gè)一分鐘影像工作坊在廈門大學(xué)舉辦。從那時(shí)到現(xiàn)在我們目睹了一分鐘影像在中國(guó)的發(fā)展，2008年，曾有中國(guó)藝術(shù)家的作品作為一分鐘影像的一部分參加了威尼斯雙年展。2009年，中國(guó)第一屆一分鐘頒獎(jiǎng)慶典在上海舉行。2010年，城市一分鐘在上海世博會(huì)展出，自2011年起，一分鐘影像在一年一度的上海國(guó)際電視劇節(jié)作為回播展出。
介時(shí)，一分鐘影像已成為一個(gè)中國(guó)與國(guó)外藝術(shù)家，電影人和學(xué)生進(jìn)行文化交流的橋梁。
This catalogue celebrates the new and fruitful collaboration of The One Minutes Foundation and the Art Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts. The museum co-curated and designed a show that is in a sense a truly Chinese remake of the realm of The One Minutes. For this, I would very much like to thank Professor Qin for introducing us to the museum, Chen Rui for curating the exhibition, and The One Minutes team for all their efforts. It is their commitment and hard work that made this special exhibition
possible.
