'The laboratory in this sense is a socio-material-technical infrastructure composed of instruments, materials, space, their arrangement and relations, but is equally composed of the scientists themselves...'
Join us a Verge to explore the workings of a quantum science laboratory through the lens of the art gallery. Designed to immerse you in the work of Todd Robinson's Materialnonmaterial, this Slow Looking Workshop will feature a series of curated activities which will assist you in getting up close and personal with the exhibition.
Subverting the art historical technique of closely examining the visual fundamentals of an artwork for academic output, this workshop engages with slow looking as an exercise in mindfulness. In a world that is increasingly fast-moving, slow looking is a means of learning about the world in a way that is free from judgement, and which brings us into the present moment.
All welcome.
Free food and drink provided.
