Aspen Art Museum

Blake Paskal is an artist, educator, and Visual Aids Program Associate based in Brooklyn, New York. For this Slow.Look.Live session, Paskal will speak about their experience as a queer Black person watching the conversation shift over the past few months as people take to the streets in protest. They will also speak about the way that touch, intimacy, and bodily comfort manifest in their artistic practice.

Initiated during this period of unprecedented physical distancing, Slow.Look.Live., offers an occasion to slow down and reflect with deeper intention on artistic processes and dialogues. Introducing a range of artists, curators, and thinkers, the new initiative focuses on how perception, creation, and community are being shaped by our various current geographical locations. Each week, we chart the relationships of our guests to the changing world, their immediate environments, and their studios. As we continually redefine how art can be made and experienced, Slow.Look.Live., will evolve indefinitely as a core program for Aspen Art Museum’s visitors and beyond.

Join a regional, national, and international group of participants on Fridays at 4 p.m. (MT) with Rachel Ropeik, AAM Learning Director, on Instagram Live and Instagram Stories @AspenArtMuseum.
