SPACE Metaverse to Mirror NFT Art Live Exhibition
SPACE Metaverse, a highly interoperable platform and fully functional NFTs hub that merges gaming, virtual reality, and social commerce in the metaverse, is joining forces with acclaimed artist and curator Kenny Schacter to host the “Unsafe At Any Speed” live art exhibition in the SPACE virtual gallery.
The exhibition, which will be held concurrently physically in Morton Street Partners’ gallery in New York City, will be live on the SPACE virtual digital collectibles gallery from March 15, 2022, to May 8, 2022
The team has made it clear that the “Unsafe at Any Speed” art collection curated by Schachter, will feature unique artworks from multiple highly reputed artists from all over the world, including Adrian Schachter, Bree Jonson, Brittany Tucker, Eva Bersin, Hester Finch, Ilona Rich, Jake Chapman, Rebecca Ackroyd, Ruan Hoffman, Ry David Bradley, Sage Schachter, Szabolcs Bozo, Tamo Jugeli, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Tom Rees, and Zaha Hadid – the Iraqi-British architect behind the zero-emission hydrogen-powered Z car.
Batis Samadian, the CEO of SPACE said:
“We are thrilled to welcome the ‘Unsafe At Any Speed” exhibition into SPACE. Kenny has curated a spectacular collection of works and artists, and between his stewardship and enthusiasm, we couldn’t have picked a better partner to showcase how SPACE can exhibit works and also serve as the point of sale simultaneously, delivering an unparalleled user experience.”
SPACE Metaverse Marrying Traditional Art with NFTs
Established in 2021, SPACE Metaverse and social commerce platform equips art galleries with the tools they need to effectively manage, store and sell their art pieces through the SPCE web platform, where collectors can pay with crypto and credit cards.
The team has hinted that ABOSCH, one of the artworks on exhibition, has a price tag of 2 ETH ($ at current prices), while “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” piece by Nicole Eisenman will be sold for $55,000.
For those who are unaware, Kenny Schachter is one of the heavy hitters in the global art ecosystem. He was chosen as one of the panelists to handle the Sotheby’s CryptoPunks NFT sale that was canceled at the last minute.
Schacter, who previously described NFTs as a cultural paradigm shift, is not a newcomer to the digital collectibles space, as he’s successfully minted and sold several NFTs, including a parody collection titled CtyptoMutts, and also recently added a collection to OpenSea featuring multiple artists, with the sale proceeds to be donated to Ukraine.
Commenting on the upcoming exhibition, Schacter said:
“The digital art arena, though still very much in its infancy, has already fundamentally reshaped the art universe by hybridizing the idea of art, collectibles, and digital ownership. The opportunity to partner with SPACE reflects another step on my own journey through the art world and, more importantly, is helping put the works of talented and aspiring artists in front of a bigger, more diverse audience. NFTs are more than a passing fad, and my latest exhibition is testament to this movement and its accelerating momentum.”
In related news, crypo.news reported on January 18, 2022, that SPACE has secured a strategic investment of an undisclosed amount from Binance Labs.
