Slow Art Collective in the Park

Be a part of a live art installation by Slow Art Collective at the Summer in the Park hub all month! Get hands-on during Summer in the park with this exciting creative project while you enjoy the sights and sounds of the Festival hub.

Slow Art Collective will be creating a live art installation, inviting all members of the community to come and add to their structure.

See how the piece will unfold over 5 Fridays at Camberwell Civic Precinct gardens, or even visit throughout the week to see its progress!

The piece will be available to access while Friday festival events are running, from 5 pm to 8 pm, with helpers on hand to assist you.

About Slow Art Collective

Slow Art Collective focuses on creative practices and ethics relating to environmental sustainability, material ethics, DIY culture and collaboration. As an interdisciplinary group of artists, Slow Art Collective is interested in process-driven practices where the focus is on the act of making. Slow Art Collective is currently helmed by artists Chaco Kato and Dylan Martorell, who invite collaborators to join them for individual projects.

‘Slow art’ is about slow exchanges of value rather than the fast, monetary exchange of value. It is about the slow absorption of culture through community links by creating something together and blurring the boundary between the artists and viewers. Collaboration is intrinsic to all facets of their work. Since 2009 Slow Art Collective has undertaken a range of projects that address the crossovers between artistic practice, creative sustainability and individual responsibility. Recently commissioned projects include Tokyo Biennale, TarraWarra Museum of Arts, McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Powerhouse Museum, Mpavillion (Botanic Garden, Monash University and Dockland), NGV, Gertrude Contemporary and Esplanade Singapore.
