Sometimes an art exhibition is just an art exhibition. If its focus is contemporary, it is also a mass of symptoms that reveal strengths or failings of the current art world.

In her review for The Times, Roberta Smith writes:

"How Soon Is Now?,"  a show of amateurish and derivative work by 36 emerging artists, says a lot about the  competition among art mediums, the latest trickle-down trends in art-making and the shortcomings of higher art education. In answer to the show's catchy title, for many of the artists here, "now" may never come.
