0x Society, the first crypto art centre in Canada, is delighted to present Solstice, its first crypto art exhibition in collaboration with SuperRare, featuring unique creations from Annibale Siconolfi, Josh Pierce, Smeccea, Clement Morin, Cath Simard, Raphael Lacoste, Melissa Mathieson, Sean Mundy, Blake Kathryn, Dániel Taylor, parrott_ism and Kristian Levin.
Inspired by the summer solstice and the feeling that everything is beginning over again after months of lockdown, the first part of this exhibition will launch on June 21st, 2021. It will take place in Spatial.io, where visitors will be able to interact with each other live as avatars.
This summer, it will also be presented in-person at 0x Society’s crypto art museum, located in Montreal, Canada.
Each NFT artwork will be available for purchase to collectors around the world on SuperRare and some collectors will also receive an Infinite Objects frame of the NFT from the artist.
Each unique creation will be exploring our relation to seasons and time. The name “solstice” actually comes from the latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
From June 21st and after, nights get shorter and in some parts of the world, it never really gets fully dark at night. On solstice’s day, when the sun’s position reaches its highest point around noon on the day of the summer solstice, it will appear to stand still for a short period of time - like an ethereal feeling of eternity.
We wanted to recreate this feeling: when the sun is shining, and it feels like the clock has stopped ticking.The Solstice exhibition aims to represent the culmination of everything we have been through as a society in the past 16 months: it is a celebration of life beginning all over again.
