Lebbeus Woods, Architect is currently on view at SFMOMA, and throughout the run of the exhibition, we’ll be using Tumblr as a place to sequentially share Woods’s wonderful sketchbooks, since only a fraction of the pages can be on view in the galleries.

JUST ANNOUNCED: this morning an SFMOMA spokesperson revealed new plans for the external treatment of the museum’s building expansion, explaining: “to best reflect the unique character of our city, we have decided on a new façade design that is 100%, absolutely fabulous!” 

In 2016, SFMOMA will be all rainbows, all the time :)

We’ve realized at Slow Art Day that we just weren’t keeping up in today’s fast-paced world. So, we’ve decided to revamp our mission and change our name to Fast Art Day!

Instead of looking at pieces slowly, making connections, and developing a meaningful relationship with art, the new goal is to run through the galleries while taking in art as fast as possible. You’ll get ahead in today’s busy, fast-paced world if you apply that philosophy to everything, including art-viewing!

Here are some tips for enjoying Fast Art Day to the fullest:

1. Do a few cardio laps around the museum as a warm up to get your muscles loose for racing through the galleries
2. Make sure you powerwalk, not run, to avoiding irking the museum guards
3. Keep eyes open fully all the time; blink and you’ll miss a masterpiece entirely

Follow these simple tips and you can make your Fast Art Day a success!

Never look at a single work of art long enough to feel a connection to it — otherwise, you risk engaging in dangerously meaningful experiences!
