SOMMERGÄSTE: REWIND COLLECTIVE AT BASTIAN, 8 DAVIES STREET
BASTIAN have announced Sommergäste: Rewind Collective, a single work exhibition which will take place Tuesday 7th - Saturday 25th September 2021. The free exhibition will present a unique digital work and accompanying NFT (non fungible token) by the digital feminist art group, Rewind Collective.
Rewind Collective is a digital arts collective who are on a mission to address the gender and minority imbalances throughout the art world. Its members create original digital works, digital editions, and digital works that respond to existing physical artworks. Their aim is to uplift women and minorities through their work, the largest groups of people who have been traditionally marginalised by the art world.
Rewind have had some exciting moments in Mayfair before. In May 2021, Christie’s made history by offering Rewind-created traditional paintings accompanied by NFTs in their Post-War & Contemporary Art day sale. It generated over $1.28m with a solo Rewind work selling for $150,000. Just one month later in June 2021, a digital artwork by Rewind sold at Phillips 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Afternoon Session for $201,600.
June 2021 was a successful month for Rewind - the collective also became the first NFT artists to partner with an international beauty brand - Givenchy Beauty. Rewind's editions sold out in just 2 seconds and generated $128,000 for a charity supporting LGBT youths.
The upcoming exhibition will showcase digital artworks, photography and traditional paintings with the Remember Us XVII (Women Throughout History) series This features digital meditations of works by four female painters - Lavinia Fontana, Elisabetti Sirani, Artemisia Gentileschi and Fede Galizia - interwoven with four original photographs depicting inspirational women - Maria Bartola, a 16th-century Aztec princess and the first historian of Mexico; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, leading philosopher of the 20th-century US women's rights and suffrage movements; Rose of Lima, who was canonised for creating what is considered the first social services in Peru; and Amelia Steward, Viscountess Castlereagh, a prominent and influential member of London’s Regency society.
