Double Minutes
Double Minutes Marathon

Double Minutes is a program of experimental artist lectures that has been active in Brussels since 2022. For each edition, we invite two artists from different backgrounds to rethink the format, taking into account their pairing, the location, and the conventions of this type of presentation.

Double Minutes Marathon

Double Minutes is looking for graduating students from KASK & Conservatorium and LUCA School of Arts Campus Gent / Sint-Lucas who are interested in expanding their artistic practice in the post-school environment. For this special edition, Double Minutes will be hosted by KIOSK, where the final public presentation will take place.

Process

Until the end of June, selected applicants will be paired into duos based on affinities in their practices or shared interests. These pairings will be determined after an initial round of individual meetings with each participant.

Once paired, each duo will be invited to work and meet autonomously, allowing time to become familiar with one another’s practice and explore potential connections.

The week of 5-9 October will take the form of an intensive workshop:

• Day 1: All participating duos will gather for a collective session. Through a series of simple exercises, we will explore the experimental possibilities of the Double Minutes format.
• Days 2 & 3: Each duo will meet separately with the organisers to develop their presentation. Together, we will shape a 10–15 minute structure and determine the technical and logistical support required.

On Saturday, 10 October, a final public presentation will take place at KIOSK. The detailed timeline of the event will be announced in the coming months. The event will be communicated by Double Minutes, KIOSK, and partner organisations.
