PRESENTLY SLOW

September 2021 | ArtEZ University of the Arts, Arnhem

Much of the working method of the world relies on efficiency and effectiveness. That’s why we value early-risers, multi-taskers, long hours and mass production. It is for the same reason we undervalue the laborious and slow effort of a hand-woven tapestry or a hand-stitched embroidery.

Presently Slow examines the construction of the high-speed, task-juggling world and seeks to question whether it’s really all that necessary.
