The notion of the "Now" is a central interest of many philosophical theories. The questions of what it means to be "in the present moment" and whether the present moment is actually a well-defined concept have been debated for centuries. Recently, Neuroscientists have found that, contrary to popular belief, the brain does not process information in a linear fashion. Instead, information is constantly being shuffled around and reordered in order to create a coherent and current picture of the world- The NOW.
All the exhibiting artists with Burgess Modern + Contemporary at Art Miami 2022 in the curatorial booth of “NOW” resonate with conceptual concepts of either current times, reflective times, social & political times, or aspects of being in the moment- demanding the viewer be present in the moment to digest the visual.
