English term or phrase: instant = moment
Hi All - A bit of an unusual request for help. Can anyone confirm that the above means 'moment' in the sense of 'instance' / 'a moment in time' - this concerns an exhibition which will only be on for a short period of time?

TIA

Explanation:
Because, we have:
"Instant exhibition" that means "an exhibition that opens overnight".
(The same meaning with the "instant coffee" or "instant noodle", etc).
