Aspen Art Museum

Summer Sloane-Britt is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University who recently relocated to Los Angeles. For this session of Slow.Look.Live., Sloane-Britt will speak about the complex politics of working within systems of higher education and museums, and how these institutions are both making slow but important changes that stem from grassroots movements. She will elaborate on the ways that systems are being called into question. Sloane-Britt will also speak about the weirdness of this moment and a nostalgia for a New York City that does not seem to exist anymore.

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.
