SPACE Metaverse hosts art exhibit with Kenny Schachter

SPACE Metaverse, the first social commerce platform of its kind, is partnering with acclaimed artist and curator Kenny Schachter to host an upcoming art exhibition in a virtual gallery created in SPACE, Invezz learned from a press release.

The exhibit debuted on SPACE on March 15, 2022 and will continue until May 8, 2022. It will also be held physically – in Morton Street Partners’ gallery in New York City.

Featuring artists the world over

“Unsafe at Any Speed”, curated by Schachter, will feature artists such as Brittany Tucker, Eva Beresin, Adrian Schachter, Bree Jonson, Hester Finch, Ilona Rich, Ruan Hoffmann, Ry David Bradley, Jake Chapman, Rebecca Ackroyd, Sage Schachter, Tamo Jugeli, Szabolcs Bozo, Tim Noble and more.

A special participant is Zaha Hadid, the reputable architect behind Z-car, the zero-emission hydrogen-powered vehicle.

SPACE CEO Batis Samadian said:

We are thrilled to welcome the ‘Unsafe At Any Speed’ exhibition into SPACE. Kenny has curated a spectacular collection of works and artists, and between his stewardship and enthusiasm, we couldn’t have picked a better partner to showcase how SPACE can exhibit works and also serve as the point of sale simultaneously, delivering an unparalleled user experience.

Proceeds from Schachter’s collection on OpenSea donated to Ukraine   

Kenny Schachter is a big name in the art world. He was a panelist at Sotheby’s before the planned CryptoPunks sale and has sold the collection CryptoMutts, a parody on the former. He added a collection to OpenSea featuring multiple contributors, with the funds going toward the Ukraine war relief effort.  

Schachter commented the event:

The digital art arena, though still very much in its infancy, has already fundamentally reshaped the art universe by hybridizing the idea of art, collectibles, and digital ownership. The opportunity to partner with SPACE reflects another step on my own journey through the art world and, more importantly, is helping put the works of talented and aspiring artists in front of a bigger, more diverse audience. NFTs are more than a passing fad, and my latest exhibition is testament to this movement and its accelerating momentum.

SPACE’s social commerce platform allows art galleries to store, manage, and sell their art pieces through the SPCE web platform. The works displayed are very valuable. Nicole Eisenman’s “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” will be sold for $55,000.
