AUCTION PREVIEW
AUCTION PUBLIC OPENING
Since the online gallery’s inception over a decade ago, society has undergone massive change on a dramatic scale that continues until today. Social media has transformed the way and rate at which culture is disseminated, who we connect with, and how we interact as a society. We’ve seen the end of decades-long wars and dictatorial regimes, as well as the devastating beginnings of new ones. Social and political awareness has sparked large-scale protests on a global scale, and a shift in public discourse to focus on equity and inclusion. All around the world, communities are forced to adapt to new climate realities, with extreme weather events occurring at increasing frequencies. And, technological innovation — from the first iPad, to the birth of Satoshi Nakomoto’s Bitcoin, to the creation of the first tokenized digital assets — propels us into the future faster than ever before.
Artists have always been at the forefront of cultural and technological shift, their work an indication of change and what is to come. In a time of great uncertainty and rapid evolution, what do artists envision for the coming decades?
