🚀Tom Sachs : Rocket Factory Paintings 2022.6.25 (Sat) - 8.20 (Sat)
⠀
The 'Rocket Factory Painting' exhibition held at Thadeusropak is one of the projects that Tom Sachs has been paying close attention to, and it is the first exhibition that focuses on the NFT project Rocket Factory. More than 150,000 rocket combinations can be created from rocket parts engraved with 30 brands such as Chanel, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, and Apple that are accepted worldwide, and the community can present 1,000 NFT rockets combined with their own choice . The artist presents a new approach to creating a virtual rocket as a physical sculpture and further reinventing it as a painting, unlike the method that many platforms distributing NFTs use to digitally replace physical works of art. In this exhibition, 14 paintings created by selecting 14 of rocket parts and rocket NFTs that assembled them are presented.
⠀
The NFT rocket is built at Tom Sachs Studios in the south of Manhattan, New York from a real-world model rocket that perfectly matches the digital NFT, and after launch, the recovered rocket is sent to the owner of the NFT artwork.
