Dragonfly Open Call - Exhibition and Performance

After a bright, positive and colorful “PINK” exhibition AVE22 MetaGallery would like to invite artists to ponder on how short life and beauty are.

Please welcome to participate in our “Dragonfly” open call - an exhibition and a performance in one.

OVERVIEW

Dragonflies are one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth.

Their lifespan though in the order of five weeks or less, and some survive for only a few days.

We are going to do something similar to the artworks at this exhibition.

All the artworks that we will exhibit will be minted as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) by us, AVE22. 

We will list in the description that your artwork was created by you.

All the artworks will be listed without prices - just as exhibits that cannot be bought.

At the end of the exhibition we will destroy all the NFTs that participated in it.

They will disappear from the gallery.

They will disappear from the blockchain.

To complete this performance we think it might make sense to destroy the original but we will not insist. At least any relation to participating artworks will vanish.

With this performance we would like to emphasize the fragility of beauty, its short lifespan, its insecurity from the outer world.
