What is slow art? Below, art critic Robert Hughes gives his definition of slow art, as presented at the Royal Academy Annual Dinner, in June 2004:
"What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds water; art that grows out of modes of perception and making whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn't merely sensational, that doesn't get its message across in ten seconds, that isn't falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures."
