Milan, Museo della Permanente hosts 2121, exhibition dedicated to Crypto Art

DART | Dynamic Art Museum, a museum project conceived by Piergiulio Lanza and realized together with Riccardo Manfrin, presents 2121, the first major exhibition project dedicated to Crypto Art within a museum space in Italy, the Museo della Permanente in Milan.

What were the possibilities of Art 100 years ago and, given the exponential growth of opportunities offered by the digital world, what possibilities will it have 100 years from now? 2121 investigates today with an eye to tomorrow, through works by artists who, in a short and exponentially accelerated span of time, propose and create new insights into how a work must be conceived, made, enjoyed and transmitted in order to be declared as such.

Curated by DART in collaboration with Alessandro Brunello, Alan Tonetti, and Serena Tabacchi, 2121 aims to show the public the first physical exhibition of Crypto Art, creating an exhibition based on the interaction between human beings and the digital world. The artistic current of Crypto Art includes all those forms of art that involve the creation of a totally digital work, or the digitization of a physical work, thanks to blockchain and NFT (Not-Fungible Token) systems, which allow works to be identified through a specific set of digital information guaranteeing the authenticity of the work itself. The artists selected for the exhibition are the leading exponents of the movement at the level of emerging, blue chip (a definition attributed to established NFT artists) and OG (an acronym for Old Guy, used to identify those artists who first started working in the NFT field).

An important trait of Crypto Art, is that the artists themselves often engage in collecting other artists’ NFT works, giving rise to global networks and connections driven by a desire for continued research, experimentation and sharing in the age of the remote.

The exhibition runs at the Museo della Permanente in Milan from November 23, 2021 to February 6, 2022.
