Today, in a special BONUS episode for Slow Art Day, I’m talking to Harma van Uffelen.
Harma works as a curator of education for the Van Gogh Museum where they have just created a brand new slow looking programme and a slow looking experience for the Matthew Wong exhibition.
Listen in to hear:
- How the programme started and why they chose the Matthew Wong exhibition
- Techniques for engaging participants, including a deep dive into one of Wong's artworks
- Considerations in programme design: ensuring comfort, choosing artworks, and managing duration
- Designing a slow looking programme in a busy museum (hint: it can be done!)
- "In Silence with Matthew Wong": silent slow looking experience with one artwork
- Reflections on the pilot programme and future plans
If you’ve ever thought about designing and facilitating slow looking programmes in your museum, you will learn a lot from this episode!
