“A set of similar themes emerged: the handmade object; craft; studio practice; traditional art-making techniques; materiality; engagement with modernism and personal subject matter. At the heart of our process was the feeling that many of these artists focused on identity in an age when identity can be constructed or manipulated. they grapple with the idea of real, personal history in the context of fabricated or virtual versions of it, and explore the consciousness that evolves from these histories. These themes were front and center in our conversations with each other and gave shape to the exhibition. in choosing the words How Soon Now, we emphasize the urgency and relevance of these works, even though they do not necessarily have a shared context within the time that they were produced. Eventually, a generation emerges that creates a ‘now’ for itself, that exists alongside the ‘now’ of previous generations.”
