Beyond Provenance: Speculative $Black Futures On The Blockchain

Published on Dec 26, 2020

ONE / OFF

ONE / OFF welcomes you to the largest exhibition of work from Black artists on the blockchain. International in scope, it features artists from across the African diaspora representing South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. The artwork has been sourced from several marketplaces for crypto art including Known Origin, Async Art, Super Rare, Makers Place, Rariable, Open Sea and NFT Showroom. The curatorial themes -- Afrofuturism, AfroEsotericism, Afrosurrealism, Black Popular Culture, and Black Figurative Artwork are a nod to the Center for Black Visual Culture at NYU led by Dr Deborah Willis.Through this exhibition and future projects, ONE / OFF seeks to expand on the CBVC’s scholarly and artistic inquiry into the exploration and critical evaluation of images, including the development of visual technologies and bringing it into the crypto space.
