Art Watch 1 – MoMA Saturday, August 8
Come join us for the initial Art Watch this Saturday, August 8, 2009 at MoMA in New York.
To participate, click on the link below and select a painting and timeslot.
– What is this?
It’s “Art Watch” – a movement to look at art for much longer than the average museum visitor (the average time spent in front of a painting or sculpture is *less* than one minute). Think of it as the art world equivalent of slow food.
– Why am I doing this?
Last summer, I sat in front of two paintings for an hour each and it was a wonderful experience. I find that “slow watching” changes your perspective on that painting and develops your “ways of seeing” muscles. Plus, it’s just pure good fun.
– How does it work?
1. You select one painting at MoMA to look at for 1 hour this Saturday
2. That’s it – you come at your designated time and look at one painting for an hour.
3. Oh, and come dressed distinctively
4. Optionally – join us for lunch in the cafeteria at 1pm.
5. Spread the word
I’ve set up 10 paintings and two timeslots this Saturday – 10:30 – 11:30 and 11:30 – 12:30.

Even if you can’t make it, please spread the word.
