SLOW (36H)

During SLOW(36h), Concertgebouw Bruges gives you 36 hours to stop and pause. In a society that is constantly rushing forward, we stroll and stop. Follow your intuition and forget the clock: experience ‘time’ as ‘duration’, get maximum enjoyment from minimal resources, stride through the city resolutely but slowly and bring yourself into a trance through the repetition of mystical Moroccan Sufi music or Simeon ten Holt’s Canto ostinato.

SLOW(36h) massages the senses and - who knows – may even lead to spiritual experiences.

Curator Ive Stevenheydens selects video art in which slow movement is central. The trail – featuring work by young artists, such as Maurits Wouters – is a trip through the Concertgebouw that invites silence and brings intense pleasure to the senses.
