The exhibition presented at Artefakt Gallery in Podkowa Leśna as part of Slow Art Day 2024. 13 kwietnia 2024
‘Slow Art Day’ is an initiative to encourage people to look more closely at art*. This year it fell on 13 April and took place in many museums and galleries around the world.
Fascinated by the idea of attentive and unhurried interaction with art, we organised a ‘Slow Art Day’ together with Misia and Piotr Łukasiewicz at their Studio – Artefakt Gallery in Podkowa Leśna.
We wanted to put the emphasis on the viewer-artwork relationship, disregarding the prevailing author-artwork paradigm, which gives the creator the right to have the right interpretation.
Following the recommendations of the initiators of the action, we presented only five works. We invited viewers to experience art in an unhurried, intimate manner, to establish a personal contact with it, in which the viewer becomes a co-author.
After viewing the exhibition, guests had the opportunity to discuss the art in the charming garden of Mr and Mrs Lukasiewicz.
* According to a study published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts in 2017, visitors to museums and galleries spent an average of 28.63 seconds looking at a single work of art
