Everything All At Once
Everything Now All at Once explores the sensory and cultural experience of living in an era defined by simultaneity and digital saturation. On view at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from August 21, 2025 to November 1, 2026, the exhibition considers how artists interpret urgency, overload, and interconnectedness in the contemporary moment.
Everything Now All at Once is presented by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, located at 2001 Campus Drive, Durham, North Carolina. The exhibition runs from August 21, 2025 through November 1, 2026. Bringing together works from the museum’s collection alongside contemporary perspectives, the exhibition examines how artists respond to the accelerating pace of information, technology, and global change.
Exhibition Description
Everything Now All at Once reflects on the conditions of contemporary life shaped by immediacy, constant connectivity, and the collapse of temporal distance. Drawing from the Nasher Museum’s collection and contemporary works, the exhibition investigates how artists visualize and critique the sensation of living in a state of perpetual “now.” Through painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, and mixed media, the exhibition foregrounds artistic strategies that address acceleration, fragmentation, and the overwhelming flow of images and information. Artists engage themes of technological mediation, political upheaval, environmental urgency, and social transformation, questioning how meaning is constructed in a landscape where everything appears to happen simultaneously. Presented by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Everything Now: All at Once invites visitors to slow down and reflect within an environment that mirrors and resists the speed of contemporary experience. The exhibition runs through November 1, 2026, in Durham, North Carolina.
