Limner Gallery is located at 123 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534, Columbia County in the Hudson River Valley.
From Limner Gallery: "SlowArt is an all-encompassing philosophy of art and life developed by the artist Tim Slowinski. It was founded as a business entity under the Internet domain of SlowArt.com in 1995. Under the domain, logo and label of SlowArt, Slowinski has operated a fine art production company, SlowArt Productions. The primary business activity of SlowArt is the publication of the fine art magazine, Direct Art, and the operation of the Limner Gallery, a fine art gallery founded by Slowinski in Manhattans East Village in 1987 and currently located in Hudson, NY."
The Development of SlowArt and The Slow Art Movement
"In 1978 Slowinski inscribed on the wall of his studio what was to become the foundation of SlowArt: 'Art is a way of life, a method of being, a way of perceiving the world.'
"It was this concept of art, not only as a process of creating objects, but as a way of life and perception that was to become the basis of SlowArt. Essentially, under SlowArt, the life process itself is a devotion to art, all life energy is directed and focused as an expression of art. In a SlowArt life, activity that appears unrelated to art is engaged only as a support structure for art. Art is not an occupation under SlowArt, it is a vocation and devotion. Much as a monk will engage in mundane activity such as farming or manufacturing to support the monastic devotion, the artist working under SlowArt will also perform such activities, but will do so only to the extent that it enables and supports a continuing devotion to art . . . continued.
