Welcome Tour: The Politics of Slowness
Join an English-language guided tour of Adamson-Eric Museum’s exhibition „The Politics of Slowness“, led by art historian and curator Karin Vicente.
We live in an era where everyone is always in a hurry. The pace of work, the flood of information, technological development and social pressures push us to act faster and more efficiently. Is it possible to step out of this hyper-speed machinery and see time not only as a means but as a value in itself, to enjoy the process, to be present? How can we make time “our own” again?
In recent years, “slow” technologies, craft techniques, and traditional materials have been increasingly incorporated into contemporary art. Artists are increasingly prioritising care and responsibility in their practices and consciously making sustainable choices. The exhibition explores what it means to be human in today’s late-capitalist, productivity-driven world, with a focus on slowness and slowing down. The curators of the exhibition are Brigita Reinert and Karin Vicente.
