Newport Beach, CA - Ruminate expands upon and contextualizes the visual sphere of
current neurological research which indicates that the proliferation of
the internet in our daily lives has produced a culture that values
perfunctory thought and self-adulation. The exhibit demonstrates that
through the abandonment of the superfluous and with heightened focus on
materiality,
craftsmanship,
and process, Neo-Minimalist art
can provide an alternative to this superficiality by encouraging viewers
to look inward and think deeply. It is hoped that Ruminate will
raise awareness and start a discussion about the consequences of our
digital life, while also highlighting the exquisite practices of some of
the finest artists from the contemporary Neo-Minimalist movement.
