CALL FOR ENTRIES | SLOW: LSU School of Art 2026 Summer Contemporary

Embracing “slow” in all registers, we invite artists whose work engages in slow states of being, slow processes, and slow media. We seek work that lingers in drifts and delays; work that dwells in states of stillness and attunement. Resisting efficiency and resolution, we seek immersion into the hum, the grain, the granular—work that cultivates attention through deceleration and degraded signals, work engaging slow, low, and no technology to open immersive states of flow.
