Verge Gallery: On Water and Time, Slow Looking Workshop

Is semester heating up? Cool down at Verge, immersing yourself in the expansive photography of Ellen Dahl at our upcoming Slow Looking Workshop. Occurring amidst imagery of glacial Nordic landscapes, 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.

📆 Wed 16 April, 1pm – 2pm 
🎟 Free, all welcome
