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 making whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isnโt merely sensational, that doesnโt get its message across in ten seconds, that isnโt falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media.
