SuperRare has prepared for its first ever pop-up gallery. New York City’s SoHo is the new home of SuperRare, a popular platform for NFT art curators. What’s more, the gallery opens to the public on May 19 and runs until August 28, 2022.

The SuperRare Gallery Pop Up in New York City

The SuperRare Gallery will land in New York next week, creating an immersive environment for digital artists, collectors, and fans. The gallery will be open for three months and feature five curated exhibitions by the SuperRare curator team, as well as a few guest curators. As a matter of fact, SuperRare Senior Curator An Rong will curate the debut exhibition, Visions from Remembered Futures.

In essence, the SuperRare Gallery is the platform’s way of showcasing a curated range of digital art in real life. It aims to bring attention to this rapidly-growing medium and make it accessible and welcoming.

The Gallery brings the digital and physical together

As SuperRare CEO John Crain told NFTevening, the SuperRare team sees the gallery as a great way to foster in-person connections. Particularly, how “human interaction, conversation components really help people think about this To be certain, SuperRare hopes that the gallery pop up can introduce new audiences to digital art, even current skeptics. Digital art has struggled for years to be recognized by traditional institutions like galleries and museums.

The medium has received far more attention since the NFT phenomenon has increased. It’s an excellent time for SuperRare, to highlight digital art in its first ever physical gallery.

” “It was a long-held dream for me and the team that we could have a space that allowed us to display the art in a way that would do justice to the masterpieces that people create,” Crain said.

As previously mentioned, the debut exhibition at the SuperRare Gallery will be Visions from Remembered Futures. To explain, this exhibition will feature 15 SuperRare artists. Each artist will focus on futuristic cyberpunk landscapes as they explore the theme sci-fi.

Significantly, and in contrast to the popular dystopian visions of the future, these artworks all celebrate the digital art renaissance, and the freedom of artistic expression that comes with it.

Alex Ness, Blake Kathryn, Botto; Dangiuz. Federico Clapis. Fernando Magalhaes. Idil Dursun. Alpha Centauri Kid. Krista Kim. Mari. K; Maskarade; Reuben Wu; Vintage Mozart; Xsullo; Zomax
