On June 5, we invite you to Here for 6 Hours — a six-hour hybrid event that blends the concepts of an exhibition, performance and casual, unrushed hangout. The event begins at 17:00 and ends at 23:00, welcoming those who are curious and interested in the idea of slowing down time. To participate it is necessary to be present for the entire duration of the event, but fresh air breaks are possible on the balcony!

How can you stay in a space for six hours without feeling the need to rush?

Is it possible to look at art for longer than 30 seconds?

The space is filled with works by sixteen artists — installations, paintings, live broadcasts, sound pieces, performances and other interdisciplinary gestures. Some works are activated by the artists, whilst others only require the gaze of the participants.

Within the event being together is the content, reflecting on rapid consumption and hustle culture, capturing and streaming both the meaningful and meaningless moments of idling, live to EKA TV and via influencers’ Instagram feeds. How instagrammable is idling? How instagrammable is simply being present? Does loitering remain loitering when it is documented? Six hours is long enough for the unpredictable to unfold, to let go of all expectations and to settle into a relaxed, and perhaps boring, timeless state.
