信息快餐時代需要“慢藝術”

現在的人文字和圖片看得很多，但是從中獲得的愉悅和陶冶卻很少，于是一些專家和博物館鼓勵人們去享受“慢藝術”，讓浮躁的心沉靜下來去體會藝術的精髓。

Slow art is art created or presented in a way that encourages unhurried viewing and deep contemplation; a work of art that unfolds over a long time.
“慢藝術”是為了鼓勵人們從容觀看和深思而創造或展示的藝術，是讓你花長時間去欣賞的一件藝術品。

Famous art critic Robert Hughes wrote that “We have had a gutful of fast art and fast food. 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 whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn’t merely sensational, that doesn’t get its message across in 10 seconds, that isn’t falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures.”
著名藝術評論家羅伯特?休斯曾寫道：“我們已經受夠了快藝術和快餐。我們更需要的是慢藝術：那些能承載時間的藝術，就像花瓶能承載水一樣；那些領會了各種感知方式，靈活又固執地讓你去思考和感受的藝術；那些不只帶來一時震撼，也不會在10秒內迅速傳遞信息的藝術，這種藝術不是虛假的偶像文化，而是直抵人性深處的真實。”

A number of museums now offer “slow art” tours or days that encourage visitors to take their time. Rather than check master works off a list as if on a scavenger hunt, you can make a sprawling museum digestible and personal by seeking out only those works that dovetail with your interests.
不少博物館現在都提供“慢藝術”游覽項目或鼓勵游客從容觀賞的“慢藝術日”。你不必像食腐動物狩獵一般把大師杰作飛速地一覽而盡，而是可以找出那些對你口味的作品，然后慢慢地去消化吸收，讓你的博物館之旅變得個性化。
