Jeffrey Deitch<\/a> and Larry Gagosian<\/a> hosted their fifth series for \u201cThe Extreme Present<\/a>\u201d which explore artists\u2019 reactions to the conditions of our accelerating and increasingly complex world. The title is inspired by The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present<\/a>, a book by Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, published in 2015.

Their provocative thesis addresses the rapidly evolving digital era, half a century after Marshall McLuhan\u2019s groundbreaking study on technology\u2019s influence on culture, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, in which he coined the phrase \u201cthe medium is the message.\u201d \u201cThe Extreme Present\u201d<\/em>\u00a0offers a compact history of our time, told through artists\u2019 contributions that are both political and personal. In conjunction with the exhibition, copies of Basar, Coupland, and Obrist\u2019s book were distributed free of charge to visitors. In attendance alongside Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian were\u00a0Chloe Wise and Tali Lennox to name a few.
