by Mihai Nadin“We have had a gutful of
fast art and fast food. What we need more of is slow art: art that
holds time as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of
perception and whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art
that isn’t merely sensational, that doesn’t get its message across in
10 seconds, that isn’t falsely iconic, that hooks onto something
deep-running in our natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite
of mass media. For no spiritually authentic art can beat mass media at
their own game.”– Robert Hughes, speech of June 2, 2004
Whether the 3×3 square grid is fast art or slow art, truly or falsely iconic, perhaps depends upon the eye of the beholder.
For a meditation on the related 4×4 square grid as “art that holds time,” see Time Fold.
