Slow Looking Workshop: Sixty nine

Sixty nine by Sidney McMahon transforms Verge into a sculptural landscape which echoes the architecture of the home, and is centred on symbolic and emotional associations with the number 69. Immerse yourself in this terrain at our upcoming Slow Looking Workshop. This workshop will involve a series of guided slow looking activities which will encourage you to closely observe and absorb the works in front of you.

Subverting the art historical technique of closely examining the visual fundamentals of an artwork for academic output, this workshop engages with slow looking as an exercise in mindfulness. In a world that is increasingly fast-moving, slow looking is a means of learning about the world in a way that is free from judgement, and which brings us into the present moment.

Free food and drink provided. All welcome.
