The exhibition “ASAP: As Slow As Possible” investigates the idea of deceleration in a fast-paced world. Studio Hanniball presents eight artists that approach this theme from various angles.

From taking a moment to appreciate the present, to being forced to slow down, to watch things grow at a leisurely pace, to finding peace in a hectic world, the show does not aim to cover all aspects of the topic but rather focuses on personal, nuanced observations.

“ASAP”, an acronym for “as soon as possible”, reflects the sense of urgency that pervades our language and thus shapes our behaviour. We are expected to finish tasks at work ASAP, pay our bills ASAP or answer messages ASAP. The show playfully challenges this mentality by proposing a humorous twist: approaching everything “as SLOW as possible”.
