Sam Durant wants to help you redefine the museum.
Through this interactive online project, What #isamuseum?, the artist and 2013 Getty Artists Program Invitee uses crowd sourcing to explore the purpose and use of museums today. Durant mixes his own tongue-in-cheek musings with community submitted responses with the succinct control of a well worded tweet.
Durant uses social media channels in a way akin to Slow Art Day’s own use: to further discourse and broaden reach.
Why don’t we contribute to this fascinating project by sharing what every host and participant of Slow Art Day knows: that museums can be fun and for everyone by partaking in Slow Art Day!
Share your slow looking knowledge and explore further here.

We at Slow Art Day couldn’t agree more.
