Engage in the Temporality of Artistic Creation: SLOW(36h) with Tom Van Puyvelde

 

Inviting an intimate convergence of temporal perception and artistic process, SLOW(36h) presents an enduring performance by painter Tom Van Puyvelde. Within this durational piece, the artist engages with three expansive canvases, upon which landscapes gradually materialize through meticulous layers of paint applied with meditative precision.

 

In a deliberate counterpoint to the immediate gratification of contemporary consumption, the performance culminates as Van Puyvelde methodically removes the paint, allowing the images to dissipate into the ether. This act of erasure unfolds in sync with the emotive cadences of cellist Arne Deforce, whose presence introduces a sonorous dialogue with the visual narrative.
