What does it mean to be a body amongst other bodies, bodies that are like ours, bodies we came from, and bodies we are separate to? Who exists beyond this separation, before emptied swings and houses, where limbs caress the earth, and a child suckles milk from their mother? Artists Tori Ferenc, Bettina Pittaluga, Snezhana Von Büdingen-Dyba, Myrian Boulos, Laura Stevens, Erinn Springer and Lisa Sorgini explore these intricate themes with equal power as they do with vulnerability. Tori Ferenc’s ‘The Visit’ shows an encounter between three generations, daughter, mother and grandmother. An age old, and sacred trope, that has existed

The infrastructure of communities fundamentally relies on 1. Sharing of experience and 2. Bringing together groups of people to share that experience. As defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary, a community can be understood as: “A body of persons of common and especially professional interests scattered through a larger society.” Part of the mission of the A2A, or Artists 2 Artists programme, is to source the scatterings, and bring communities of artists together— unified, to share the larger body of the UNCT marketplace.

The earliest recorded use of the term market in English is in the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle of 963, the phrase was: “Ic wille þæt markete” [“I desire that there will be a market”] There have been, and there will always be, a desire for spaces that facilitate mutually beneficial trade.

What it Means to be an Artist in the NFT Climate

For many artists to create with unrestrained creativity- is a privilege. Between gallery contracts, the heavy hand of vigilant representation, and cost of production, there is little to no room for artists to freely create. Though they try to seek refuge through idyl escapes in residency programmes, and other lands afar- the seemingly unperturbed creative process is still at the mercy of the middleman. Artists selling works through platforms that allow transparent interaction and minimal intermediary demand, like Uncontaminated- offer up remedies to such restraint. Though all artists pass through rigorous verifications before joining the platform, founders stress the importance

What does it mean to own an NFT of fine photography artwork? And what does it mean to choose to own an NFT of fine photography artwork over a physical print? When we think of owning a physical fine art photography artwork we might imagine it as an investment of durability, despite its wonky hangings on the wall, listed 1/100, delicately fading with rays of the outside sun.

A polygon is defined as a plane figure with at least three straight sides and angles, and typically five or more.

Why Collect NFTS

5 mins read

While all of us wish we had stumbled across un unmarked Matisse at a market and resold it for a hefty sum, who can say they predicted the current boom surrounding NFTs and who had the hindsight to make a significant investment on a booming artist, where others instead are waiting to see what happens next? The real question is how much of collecting NFTs is about luck, and how much of it is about having the vision to believe in something new and promising while it has its breakthrough moment?
