Slow Art Day

There's no formal, sponsored site for Slow Art Day here in Memphis this year. That's a shame, but it won't stop me from participating on my own. The steps are these:

1. Find a local event
   

   Show up on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at your venue, pay the admission fee (if there is one) and then look slowly –five to ten minutes– at each piece of pre-assigned art.

2. Attend and look at 5 pieces of art slowly
3. Have lunch to discuss your experience

Ordinarily I'd go over to the Dixon, which is close to me, but they'll be packed with people attending their plant sale. Maybe I'll go to the Brooks. You can see their collection online. I tend to spend most of my time in front of favorite works, but today I'll choose ones I'm less familiar with. Here I'll post ones on view at the Brooks that I've spent a long time with through the years. It's not like seeing them in person, but I hope you enjoy them.

Find some art near you and spend some time looking deeply into it. It's revelatory.
