“How can we remake our relationship with monuments?”
This is the question posed to both artists and visitors of the new exhibition at Grounds For Sculpture entitled “Slow Motion.”
A collaboration with Monument Lab, the curators of the exhibition, "Slow Motion" celebrates artwork created with unconventional materials, embracing the narrative possibilities of material impermanence and the pleasures of slow looking.
Jersey Arts visit the Grounds for Sculpture campus to speak with some of the artists behind “Slow Motion.”
