Julia van Mourik presents the current programme of The One Minutes, a global network for experimental video closely connected with art education institutions worldwide. She also screens recent series. Using the forces of video, The One Minutes aims to contribute to creating spaces for free expression, collective imagination, and global solidarity in our different, yet deeply interconnected realities. How do the forces of art materialize in these varied realities?

The One Minutes Series act as records or documents of a movement – collective works composed of autonomous points of view that together reveal a development, much like a mixtape. The programme Voices to be Heard focuses on solidarity, collectivity, and equal allocation, aiming to make more voices heard. In doing so, it also challenges and redefines the notion of 'artistic quality'. With its accessibility and democratic character, The One Minutes can generate new values and explore how to apply them in curatorial practices, selection processes, and beyond.

Julia van Mourik is an Amsterdam-based curator and editor. She is director of The One Minutes Foundation, and director of the artist salons Lost & Found, an eclectic mix of visual art, video, performance, outsider art, amateur art, music, literature, design, science, and more. In her work, Van Mourik uses the artistic process as a curatorial model. With Lost & Found, she explores how to activate space: How can you create connections between people, between cultures, between disciplines? How can collective art experiences be made intimate? At The One Minutes, she further develops this through combined authorship. Julia has been part of creative communities since she started her first newspaper, de Vrijdagkrant, in the eighties, and was part of the editorial team of Re-Magazine (exhibited at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Air de Paris, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis), Forum Magazine WEEKEND Agenda 2002 (winner of the Rotterdam Design Prize 2001), and was involved in the early days of Top Publishers publishing BUTT magazine, Fantastic Man, and The Gentlewoman.
Julia studied Publicity & Culture in Amsterdam in the nineties and did residencies at Raid Projects Gallery in Los Angeles and Townhouse Gallery in Cairo.
