time for slow art
In the afternoon, pick out one of Antwerp’s museums or visit some Art Gallery's. Slow art is a new trend in which you really take your time over a selection of artworks. Instead of hurrying through all the rooms or visit all the shops and galleries in Antwerp and glancing at (and possibly photographing) hundreds of works, select a few to really take in properly. The result will be that you see and learn far more. Ignore all the explanatory texts and don’t be afraid to skip a few rooms. A few tips.
- Walk into a museum room or gallery and choose a work that appeals to you.
- Examine its form, colours, characters, story, details. Allow questions to form in your mind. Ask details to the museum guides or the shop owner
- Make notes or a drawing if you wish, or ask to take some pictures.
- Change your position and look from a different angle. Or walk around the work.
- Finished looking? Consider what has stayed with you. What has surprised or amazed you?
- If it is in a shop or gallery ask the price and if you can afford it, take it home.
