A group exhibition displaying 100 miniature pieces of art that are each 100 mm small. Not confined to any one technique, the pieces include drawing, painting, collage, and photography. The project concept stems from the small size of the Artellewa gallery space, and becomes an exploration of what artists can accomplish within limited space and time.

One Minutes Workshop :
A group of impressive, original one-minute videos produced by local artists were screened last week at the Rawabet Theater, marking these amateurs’ first ventures into the motion picture medium.The event was the product of a five-day workshop organized by the Townhouse Gallery and the Netherlands-based One Minutes Foundation. The workshop is part of a larger project called The One Minutes Africa Project.The main objective of the workshop is to provide artists, from across the black continent, with relatively inexpensive video media to express an idea or a concept in just one minute.“Most artists who are not experienced with video find it difficult to produce a video, but when it’s just a one minute video, it seems so much simpler and more encouraging,” says Aukje Dekker, a Dutch coach who toured the world, teaching techniques and principles of this artistic outlet.The idea of one-minute videos originated in the Sandberg Institute in 1999 as part of a fine-arts postgraduate assignment. The concept took off from there and has been welcomed by artists all over the world.
