Kate Vass Galerie is glad to participate at ArtProject.io within Vancouver Biennale 2020.
From November 11th to 15th, the Vancouver Biennale will host #ArtProject2020, a virtual art and technology expo exploring digital art and the newest technologies shifting the art world. This event is free to attend and those without previous exposure to the field will benefit most – everyone is welcome.
#ArtProject2020 will be the Vancouver Biennale’s first display of tokenized art, which is powered by blockchain technology and has redefined digital artwork ownership. This fun-filled, educational, hands-on expo will feature panel discussions, workshops, and gamified activities including a crypt-puzzle, digital art battle live, and virtual gallery tours. To reserve a spot and see the complete speaker list and schedule, visit www.artproject.io.
Trilingual programming in English, Spanish, and Chinese will be available.

As 2020 approaches its conclusion having observed sales records broken numerous times, the panel discusses what features collectors look for, or should look for, when purchasing a tokenized artwork.

Format: Kick off - Morning Coffee (20 Min)

In this conversation we gain insights from women pushing boundaries at the intersection of art and technology. Each bringing a couple questions to the group, this dynamic discussion features Kate Vass, Head at the Kate Vass Gallery, which curates and exhibits art in both the traditional and tokenized art space. Sarah Zucker is a visual artist and author, and the first artist to exhibit GIFs at the Brooklyn Museum. Angie Taylor is a VR Artist, Sculptor, animator & creative technologist whose work often champions the misfits of society & the geeks.
Additionally, in this exciting context KVG is proudly presenting the #womensupportingwomen initiative!
“Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth.” - UN Women
With this mission in our minds, through different projects, we want to take action and move forward to a more gender inclusive and sustainable world. Women who are empowered to take action often have a positive influence on the lives of other women.
One of the things we find most inspiring is women openly supporting and lifting each other up. With so many obstacles on the road to gender equality, we don't need to create another one by getting in our own way — despite our culture's nasty habit of trying to put us against each other.
Kate Vass Galerie opens this gate to female artists of all kind: digital, performance, painting, photography or generative art, to create a special project that can live on this community page.
This initiative will debut with a unique exhibition under the curatorial program “A Celebration of the Woman”;
selected female generative and crypto artists have created special works for this particular purpose: Sofia Crespo, Maria Garcia, Lulu xXX, Helena Sarin, Angie Taylor, Sarah Zucker.
Selected works from the exhibition will be also presented as unique NFTs on the new Ephimera platform.
Ephimera is the world’s first marketplace of tokenized art focused on photography and video art. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, it allows creators to publish their work as unique, non-fungible tokens and offer these for auction to collectors.
