SUMMARY:Slow Art Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:In this slow art viewing meeting\, you don’t need to be an expert to unlock the secrets of a work of art. All you need is a good mood and the enjoyment of time! Our gaze moves slowly\, at a turtle’s pace! We welcome you for the eighth consecutive year on a slow adventurous journey where we will trust our eyes and listen to our hearts. \nIn an age where social media disseminates information at a breakneck pace and where we are daily exposed to countless stimuli that follow one another with dizzying speed\, the need to slow down becomes increasingly urgent. Amid this “frantically” fast everyday life\, slow emerges as a new form of luxury – the so-called new luxury. It is a new conscious choice to calm our pace and redefine our relationship with time\, privacy\, art\, and culture. \nThe slow observation of a work of art thus becomes an act of essential reconnection: it invites us to pause\, to truly see\, to listen to what we feel\, and to devote quality time to an experience we can internalize. In this way\, art does not merely serve as another quick visual stimulus but rather as an opportunity for reflection\, enjoyment\, and meaningful connection with ourselves and the world around us. \nMOMUS – Museum of Photography Thessaloniki invites art friends for the eighth year to a different experience of viewing artworks. On the occasion of the global Slow Art Day celebrated in museums and art spaces around the world on the first Saturday of April\, our beloved turtle visits the museum once again! Participants will pick up a sheet with viewing tips from the museum’s reception and will choose 1-3 works from the exhibition “3 Paths: Constantine Manos\, Nikos Economopoulos\, Enri Canaj” to observe for 10 minutes each\, “reading” them in their own way to discuss them together with the exhibition curator Heracles Papaiouannou\, museum education curators Maria Kehagioglou & Maria Kokorots\, and photographer Antonis Vlachos. \nThe mission of this activity is to encourage people to discover a work of art through slow observation. Through simple steps\, participants slow down the way they observe it to discover and connect with it. This experience serves as an excellent opportunity for discussion and creative engagement. \nTicket Purchase: Online through the ComeTogether platform [here]. \nAudience: For adults \nParticipation Fee: €8 \nInformation: Tel. 2310 566716\, Monday-Friday (ext. 110) \n
