We are excited to announce the next phase of MONOLITH Gallery. It will now include a highly curated set of artwork from Chikai Ohazama’s (@lifeofc) private collection. We have completely redone the website to highlight this new curation and invite you to visit it now. monolith.gallery/ When we first started MONOLITH, it was focused on bringing more visibility to more artists through an innovative exhibition format. Then we were among the first to push forward curation in the Web3 art space being launch partners for SuperRare Spaces, NiftyGateway Publishers, and Foundation Worlds. As this space has evolved and also endured, we think now is a good time to reflect upon the value of what has been collected and not just the latest acquisitions. We are doing this by turning the lens upon ourselves and looking at what our founder @lifeofc has collected and moving them into a new MONOLITH vault to recognize those special pieces and artists. There are 30 artists that have been selected to be part of the inaugural set of works to enter the MONOLITH collection and they are featured on our website with a personal quote from @lifeofc about each artist. We will be highlighting each artist in the coming weeks and we will be adding more over time. The selection process looks not only at the artist and their body of work, but whether we have acquired a notable set of works from them. It could be just one piece or it could be several pieces, but what’s most important is how unique and notable those pieces are within their body of work. The gallery portion of MONOLITH will be on hiatus until we find the right time and opportunity to resume exhibitions and selling artworks. In the meantime, we will be documenting our previous exhibitions and successes on the website to give people context on what we have accomplished as a gallery. We truly appreciate the support we have received over the years and hope to continue to support artists and work hard to build a strong foundation that will allow tokenized art to have a long and prosperous future.
