My video glow has been selected for the august one minutes series: color.
Who is afraid of red, yellow and blue?
It is known to us that colors are the visual perception of physical properties. The way we see things is unique for every person. It has not been proven that one person perceives color the same as another person. What you might call blue, if someone else would be able to see it through your eyes, might call it green. Many artists before have researched this subject. For example Barnet Newman, who almost forced color upon the viewer.
In collaboration with Sikkens Foundation (NL), The One Minutes has produced about 50 color video’s during the last three years. They allow artists to focus on color and explore its different visual aspects. This selection shows the diversity in the way the artists relate to this theme through one minute video.
The One Minutes Color will be shown at twenty museums and cultural spaces around the world and it will be shown at the entrance of A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, a music and performing arts festival, held in 15, 16 and 17 August in the Netherlands and at RIFF | Reykjavík International Film Festival held from 25 September until 5 October. Part of this series was shown at Power Sation of Art in Shanghai as part of the exhibition The One Minutes on Tour – Shanghai.
