How Soon Is Now? opening Sunday, June 1, 2008, features an array of work by 36 artists from throughout the metropolitan area, all of whom have participated in the most recent incarnation of Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, one of the most celebrated and competitive programs for emerging artists in the country. The title, a nod to the 1985 hit song by The Smiths, alludes to the immediacy of being in the moment and the current state of the art world today. The program, now in its 28th year, anticipates new artistic directions, as it celebrates the vitality and promise of new voices. Photography and video predominate this year as a number of these up-and-coming artists look toward trends in art-making practices. A range of other media including installation, drawing and painting are also represented.
