Non-fungible tokens (NFT) and generative art will be making waves at this year's Art Basel Hong Kong in an exhibition built on Tezos (www.tezos.com), an energy-efficient public blockchain. Running from May 27 to 29, 'NFTs + The Ever-Evolving World of Art' marks the very first Tezos exhibition at Art Basel Hong Kong and will showcase the works of over 20 contemporary generative digital artists from around the world, each distinguished by their own unique styles and disciplines, effectively showcasing the diversity, strength, and potential of NFTs as an art medium.
With a dedicated 250m2 exhibition space located at Hall 1A of Hong Kong's Convention & Exhibition Centre, 'NFTs + The Ever-Evolving World of Art' will see numerous projected works by leading generative and NFT artists hailing from the region across Brunei, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and South Korea. The exhibition will also see global representation, with artists from both North America and Europe, specifically from Bulgaria, Canada, France, Poland, Serbia, Switzerland, and the United States.
Participating artists include renowned Filipino painter and interdisciplinary artist Bjorn Calleja, whose works reflect the interplay between the micro- and macrocosms of humans within and against their environments; award-winning Singaporean artist Yeo Shih Yun who fuses traditional Chinese ink painting with contemporary new mediums; China's Song Ting who created the very first NFT artwork to be auctioned on China Guardian, one of the world's largest auction houses; as well as Franco-Canadian artist Nicolas Sassoon whose work, characterized by pixelated forms and figures, has been exhibited at renowned institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art (US), Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), and Centre Pompidou (FR).
