Coinhako and Appetite are proud to present Right Click + Save, Singapore’s first large-scale NFT exhibition bringing together some of the most influential artists and collectors of the digital and crypto art world.
NFTs have brought forth a much-needed wave of digital renaissance for artists, creative coders, and technologists. They have propelled the public to recognise the value of digital art with new importance, prompting crucial shifts in conversations surrounding art and visual culture.
Diving into the history and visual cultures of crypto communities, the exhibition features early artistic explorations around cryptocurrencies, from Sarah Meyohas’ Bitchcoin (2015) and Robert Alice’s Portraits of a Mind (2019), to the iconic RarePepe genesis NFT. Andy Warhol’s Untitled (Flower) (circa 1985; minted 2021), Tyler Hobbs’ Fidenza series, Refik Anadol’s immersive data visualisation, and more, are placed in conversation with each other to trace the innovations of image-making technologies as well as their new identities on-chain.
The show will be open to the public from November 7, 2021 — November 14, 2021 at Fine Art Storage Services in Le Freeport, a high-security storage and display facility in Singapore.
A parallel metaverse exhibition will be curated on Spatial from November 7, 2021 — December 7, 2021. We will also host several online panels with participating artists, collectors and crypto leaders.
Yusho Liu, Founder and CEO of Coinhako noted: “NFTs have seen explosive growth this year and we can no longer ignore them. The advent of NFTs has opened a new paradigm for the creator economy, and similar to how we created a seamless gateway to digital assets, we now want to do the same for NFTs. As a business, we believe that NFTs have much potential to grow — considering their synergy with crypto, art, music, and esports. They are a new class of digital assets that will revolutionise the world, the way crypto already has.”
Kaushik Swaminathan, General Manager and Head of Research at Appetite commented: “NFTs are a natural extension of our longstanding interest in alternative and experimental modes of artistic production. Right Click + Save will show to a wider audience that this new medium is not just here to stay but to redefine the ways in which we interact with each other.”
