The Evolution of Now is an edition of Young Collectors' Pop Up (VCP) Exhibition. YCP is a pan India initiative of to create engagement and discourse between art practitioners and collectors who are in various stages of their practice or collection journey, respectively. YCP seeks to inculcate meaningful dialogue through exhibitions, workshops and the infusion of technology in art. This exhibition is the fifth edition of Young Collectors with previous exhibitions being held online, in Delhi and Mumbai. 'The Evolution of Now' is a group exhibition of 8 artists from across India, whose practices vary in style, medium and genre. Each artistic practice represented in the exhibition is currently still in the process of self-exploration and evolution. On the one hand the exhibition provides a sense of familiarity and resonance. Each viewer can relate on a personal or social level with the inner mechanics of the practices displayed. While, on the other hand through representations of the present word they also provide differing perspectives and alternatives ways of seeing the same instance or stimuli. John Quinn, one of Picasso's most ardent supporters in the United States and a staunch advocate of New York's Museum of Modern Art, felt that the purpose of contemporary art and of "living artists" was more so to provide viewers with different ways of seeing the world than their own. The idea of "now" is not a fixed definition, but divergent opinions. The difference in artistic practices explores numerous lenses through which the world and current and historical events can be perceived. However, a commonality between each practice represented in the exhibition is heavily based on research, indicating that beyond every aesthetic consideration lies a deeply empirical value. The present is treated as a primordial similarity between the various stakeholders engaging with the exhibition. In line with reflecting the reality of now, this exhibition entails a nexus between art and technology through the utilisation of blockchain to establish a clear chain of provenance. The origin of each work is linked directly to the artist themselves; this proof of origin is preserved on Art Garde's proprietary technology.
