Phrases like “same as it ever was,” “change is the only constant,” and “this too shall pass” reflect society’s complex relationship with time, highlighting how our attention shapes what we value—in art, commerce, and spirit. That Was Now explores themes of novelty, nostalgia, and timelessness across a diverse group of 30+ artists and designers spanning over half a century of practice.

Through a series of vignettes, and in the tradition of the Stein salon’s blend of high art and domestic environment, objects and artworks are arranged to evoke the textures of time. The exhibition’s conversational layout can be viewed as a whole or in parts, allowing the viewer to fluctuate between detailed observation and expansive meditation—all within the limits of a 12′×20′ room. The intention is for the viewer to feel the shifting flow of time that comes with focusing and unfocusing attention.

The convergence of these creative acts reveals what Leonard Koren refers as the “essential being-ness of the arrangement,” [Leonard Koren, Arranging Things] fostering a heightened awareness of one’s environment that can, at times, suspend time and fully immerse us in the present moment.
