A NEW exhibition entitled "Taking Time: Craft and the Slow Revolution" is now running at Clitheroe's Platorm Gal lery until July 9th. It features the work of 19 internation
al makers and artists reflecting on the "Slow Revolution" and includes pieces in textile, "upcycled fashion", enamel, furniture and ceramic. As well as hosting the exhibition, the
Station Rood gallery will host a series of "slow" event, including workshops with exhibitor Sue Lowty and a lunch focussing on locally produced food. Curated by Helen Carnoc, the touring
exhibition considers how contemporary craft shares values and philosophies of the Slow Movement, which devel oped os a response to increasingly fast-paced lifestyles and unsustainable consumer culture. Through their making, some of the
artists reflect on local and global condi tions while others invite audiences to participate in making collective instal lations. Repetition and the process of mak
ing and ideas of time ore emphasised in the work of Yorkshire-based Sue Lawty, who creates vast abstract draw ings composed from thousands of small stones. Her measured intricate stone drawings suggest the vast geologi cal time that transforms a rock into a minute sliver. The Platform Gallery is open doily
from Tuesday to Saturday, from T 0 a.m. to 4-30 p.m.
