Slow Art

A smaller, more private, version of Slow Art Day.

Decide on a group of 3 or 4 friends, and an art gallery to visit. It works best with a small gallery or choosing just a few rooms from a big gallery.
Stroll around for about 10 or 15 minutes and pick one piece of art each.
- Check you’ve all picked something different!
Take turns around the group.
- Go the piece of art the person has picked.
- Look at it for in silence for 10 minutes.
  - The chooser keeps an eye on the clock. What works well is a silent, buzzing, alarm set on a phone.
  - Feel free to move around!
- Have a short discussion about the art and your experience.
  - What did you see later that you didn’t see earlier?
  - Did the time feel long or short?
Retire to a nearby cafe and discuss the art and the experience a little longer.
