In today's world of sound bites and hyperactive over-stimulation it is not surprising that things often appears as one big blur. Decades ago, Gerhard Richter blurred his images because he recognized the uncertainty and inconsistency inherent in his fast-paced society. Many artworks today are also indistinct and vague - perhaps also referencing the uncertainty of our “New York Minute” existence -- or perhaps it is the blur that is the true depiction, indicating that, if anything, clarity today is only an illusion. If we take our time and really look at these works we might understand why these blurred images are perhaps the clearest depictions possible in our culture today.
