Download Book Slow Painting - Contemplation And Critique In The Digital Age by Helen Westgeest [PDF/ePUB]

The abundance of images in our everyday lives- and the speed at which they are consumed seems to have left us unable to critique them. To rectify this situation, artists such as Daniel Richter and Artur Zmijewski have demonstrated that painting is brilliantly equipped to produce 'slow images' that enable, encourage and reward reflection. Here, Helen Westgeest attempts to understand how various forms of slow painting can be used as tools to interrogate the visual mediations we encounter daily. Painting was expected to disappear in the digital age, but through interactive painting performances and painting-like manipulated photographs and videos, Westgeest shows how photography, video and new media art have themselves developed the visual strategies that painting had already mastered. The fleeting nature of digital mass media appears to have unlocked a desire for more physically stable and enduring pictures, like paintings. In a world where the constant quest for speed can leave us exhausted, the appeal of this 'slower medium' has only grown.
