During this period of social distancing, the Limina team is developing ways to expand our online offerings and adapt our museum-based work to take new measures into account. We are keeping a close eye on developments in the museum world and look forward to stepping back into it once it is considered safe to do so. Meanwhile, we are planning monthly online workshops to focus on individual artworks from collections we love. Do visit our website to join our mailing list and find out more (link in bio)

#slowartday2020 Following a line, making the blade

#slowartday2020 Following a line, making the blade of our scissors the focus of our full attention - taking our cue from Hodgkin’s ‘Grantchester Road’ (swipe to see detail)
.
Today, Karly and Lucia would have been #slowlooking at Pallant House Gallery, using mindfulness meditation and drawing to connect with paintings and sculpture.
.

Instead, we invite you to spend a few moments looking at Hodgkin’s painting and make a response with paper and scissors. Sense the blade making contact with the paper, the sound of the cut, the play of light as your drawing emerges.

This week Limina’s @clarebartonharvey led students from UCL @ioelondon through a mindful drawing practice, exploring continuous line and linking the flow of the line to the flow of the breath. Brice Marden’s Cold Mountain series was inspired by the Tang dynasty poet Han Shan.

Reflections on a #moonjar in the British Museum’

Reflections on a #moonjar in the British Museum’s Korea galleries. Students from @ioelondon followed this guided practice by @yb_lucia via headsets, allowing deep connection with an artwork in the midst of museum busyness and distractions.
.

Responding to the students’ theme of museums and wellbeing, we focused on slowing down and cultivating wonder, in an age of overwhelm.

Playing with narrow-focus attention and mindful camera work - one of three Limina workshops at the British Museum today. Cultivating an inclusive, ‘receptive eye’ and using the lens of our smartphones as a tool for connection with art, rather than a distraction.

Thank you to the IoE ‘Museums and Galleries in Education’ students who joined Clare, Lucia and Karly for a mindful journey across the Museum. We loved sharing these practices with you, to complement your module on museums and wellbeing - and wish you well in all your #museumed endeavours! .

Thank you to everyone who came on our ‘Mini Retreat’ at Pallant House this weekend, ‘Awakening the Senses: Art and Mindfulness’. .
@clarebartonharvey and @yb_lucia led a mini retreat in the galleries, offering time to recharge and connect with art. Through slow looking, drawing and writing practices, we explored how engaging with art through mindfulness can offer new perspectives and ways of seeing, and stimulate our own creativity. .

Limina Collective is back at Pallant House for further events on Saturdays 4 April and 6 June (see our events page in bio). .

@yinandtea Hannah Fletcher shared tea and meditation with visitors to our Mindfulness Late at Pallant House, bringing mindful tea drinking to the gallery environment. We loved watching people engage with the vessels, leaves and words of tea meditation, as part of their mindful museum experience. Huge thanks to Hannah and everyone who contributed and collaborated to make our event a success. We look forward to working with you again!

Look, no labels! 🖼 We created a text-free zone in one room of Pallant House Gallery, for our evening of #mindfullooking. Encouraging visitors to explore their direct, personal response to the paintings, noticing how sometimes the mind ‘wanting to know’ may get in the way of looking and seeing.
.
. (for the curious, label texts were available in sealed envelopes to take away 💌)
