Slow Art Collective

Slow Art Collective is a Melbourne-based collaborative practice that has been creating large-scale, participatory environments since 2009. Currently led by Chaco Kato and Dylan Martorell, the collective focuses on process-driven art that integrates sustainability, DIY culture and community collaboration, transforming public spaces into immersive sites for sensory engagement.

Grounded in the ethics of ‘slow art’, they prioritise exchanges of value that are unhurried, rather than fast and transactional. Through shared making, they blur the boundaries between artist and viewer, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional art consumption. Their projects range from expansive textile-based architectural structures to kinetic installations, actively reconfiguring the world and our relationships through sensory experience, play-based creativity and collective agency.

The collective has been commissioned by institutions including Taragaon Next, Kathmandu (2026); the Exploratorium, San Francisco (2024); Tokyo Biennale (2023); the Museum of Brisbane (2023 and 2022); and the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2013).
