NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have changed the game for digital art, allowing creators digital proof of ownership of their work, and giving them the ability to buy and sell their one-of-a-kind creations. In a year where NFTs have taken off, Singapore is hosting its very first large-scale NFT exhibition bringing together big names in the digital and crypto art world.
Happening from November 7 to 14 at Fine Art Storage Services in Le Freeport, Right Click + Save dives into the history and visual cultures of crypto communities. Highlights include Sarah Meyohas' Bitcoin (2015), Robert Alice's Portraits of a Mind (2019), Andy Warhol's Untitled (Flower) (circa 1985; minted 2021) and more by Beeple, Tyler Hobbs and Refik Anadol. Presented in a wide variety of formats – as prints, projections, or on screens – the pieces trace innovations in image-making and the possibilities that NFTs open up for artists, buyers and digital and new media art as a whole.
Right Click + Save can be visited by appointment only, and was sold out before the exhibition begin. But you can still hear from NFT artists and collectors about the significance of NFTs, what it means to be an NFT artist, and the scene in Southeast Asia through three Twitter Spaces sessions. There is also a chance to check out the artworks on display via a parallel virtual exhibition called Spatial, running from now till December 7.
