textile art, sculptural works & objects

Based in Zurich, Studio Slow is an itinerant curatorial project; and a pop-up gallery with a brief duration format focusing on master craft as art. Showcasing works by renowned and upcoming contemporary artists, designers and architects from and / or living in Latin America, Studio Slow takes up a short temporary residence in distinctive locations, while fostering a series of craftwork studies —introducing a contemporary Latin American view into collectible design and decorative art.

Craft is an integral part of precise cultural contexts and art / design worlds, and Studio Slow approach its studies with an interdisciplinary exchange —between craftsmanship, art, design, materials, postmodern ethnography and cultural anthropology. Marking the resurgence in textiles and other types of craftwork such as porcelain and goldsmith, the craftwork studies are part of Studio Slow’s commitment to showcase artists working in these mediums, and a continuous questioning of the established hierarchy between art and craft.
