Busy Slowing Down Closing Celebration

Welcome to the Busy Slowing Down Closing Celebration! Join us at Maryland Art Place Inc as we bid farewell to our exhibit. This is your last chance to experience the amazing artworks on display before they are taken down. Come and celebrate with us as we reflect on the beauty and creativity that surrounded us during this exhibit. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with fellow art enthusiasts and enjoy a memorable evening together. See you there!

Busy Slowing Down uses Yoko Ono's 1964 conceptual art book Grapefruit to create a framework of mindful presence and explore the power of collecting energies. Curated by Gabi Kortemeier, the exhibition features texts, sounds, and sculptures by three contemporary artists who draw inspiration directly from Ono’s book, and who embrace using instruction-based artworks to prioritize process over product. Busy Slowing Down invites audiences to draw connections between Ono and a new generation of artists, and to participate in artist-led programs that foster collective effervescence and delight in the creative moment.
