Americans, on average, spend between six and ten seconds looking at individual artworks in museums or galleries. In our culture of distraction, how might we sustain attention to those artworks-and to what effect? Slow Art dwells upon various media-photography, painting, sculpture, living pictures," film, video, digital and performance art-and even light, time, and space, from both the present and past. Taken together, these works shape a new and distinct aesthetic field. Looking carefully at figures including Diderot, Emma Hamilton, Oscar Wilde, Jeff Wall, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Andy Warhol, and Richard Serra, Arden Reed sketches a history of looking that establishes the origins of slow art, changes over time, and kinships among its expressions. Slow Art models ways to extend and enrich acts of looking.
