Brought to Austin by The Birdhouse Collective

This collection of one-minute videos is a cooperative initiative put forth by Fugitive Projects. The “Fugitives” are a collective of artists who seek to foster the development of progressive contemporary art through the promotion of innovative works and unique exhibitions.

Fugitive Projects encourages exchange between artists and independent arts organizations around the world. In all our exhibitions we develop artist-driven projects that provide artists opportunities to define themselves and situate themselves within the cultural landscape.

Our intention is to foster innovation in the shadows because often it is far outside the usual venues where opportunities for real invention occur. We intend to provide a forum for such possibilities and increase dialogue between progressive artists in all places.

The Fugitives have recently drawn a new course as an independent arts advocacy group and a roaming curatorial collective that produces traveling exhibitions and events such as the 60 Second Video Project to help fulfill this mission.

Participants in The 60 Second Video Festival have diverse artistic backgrounds, including documentary and feature filmmaking, painting, computer programming, performance art, sculpture, and installation. Some of the artists are internationally known and some are just emerging. Included artist are from Western and Eastern Europe, China, Canada, Latin America, and The United States from Mississippi to New York, Los Angeles to Kentucky. This is a unique opportunity to see a large and diverse collection of video and film works by artists whose collective resume includes collaborations with Tom Waits, Win Wenders and the Vienna Philharmonic, participation in such major exhibitions as the Whitney Biennial, Berlin Biennial, The Sundance Film Festival, Cannes, and whose works are in the collections of the MOMA in New York, The Whitney Museum of American Art and many other institutions in the North America and Europe.
