Finally there’s a bed in the gallery downstairs

Descending into the lower gallery, Muramoto’s Imagraph (2020–) takes the form of a reclining headset that projects images directly onto the viewer’s closed eyelids. Seen from afar, the installation resembles a speculative science-fiction apparatus: perhaps a consciousness-uploading device, a spirit docking station, or a machine designed for automated dreaming.

@collectionist @beeple @mfigge @yugalabs Beautifully stated-- could not be more thrilled with @mfigge stewarding this important project, one that @cryptocactoid and i have been part of since day one. Excited for this strong chapter to unfold.

[Jehan Chu @collectionist]

Some are here for the Swamp, Others(for the)Side. I'm here because in 2020 I stanned @beeple who led me to back @mfigge in 2022 and as it happened, @yugalabs.

As an investor there's a joy I get from backing dreamers and doers; it's a value I can't count and I can't spend. I may wear my unicorns on my vest, but the joy of backing brilliant artists/founders and seeing them truly cook is the real halo. Money comes and money goes, but knowing that you got to help someone move the world a little bit...that's golden.

@BoredApeYC means much more than we think; @jeannievu and I spend a lot of time in the digital art world (@lacma, @rhizome), and it's clear that culture is the ultimate moat of humanity. What @mfigge and his incredible team are building will be the Bifrost of the digital culture realms and it's a joy to be a small part of its history. Personally can't wait for the BAYC Asia tour - that's a whole lot of people about to be re-introduced to Apes.

There are 46 golden apes, but this Angel Investor Ape tells my story. See you in the Clubhouse.

*Grateful to @grailsotc for making this happen.

🌵❤️ Sharing photos of @halecar2's stunning survey at @SFMOMA, which I was fortunate to see a few weeks back. A revelatory expansive vantage onto Mexican & Dominican life.

🌵❤️A love story captured on camera, intimate & journalistic, whose images I've returned to repeatedly. Had the pleasure of walking through this career milestone w/ the lovely Martina Negro & @cryptocactoid

This morning, reflecting, I'm walking amongst giants. All of you artists.

Reading War and Peace. Kutuzov remarks, “Everything falls into place for the man who knows how to wait… There is nothing stronger than those two old soldiers - time and patience.”

Our time will come. I've got receipts, on-chain ⛓️.
I was here. I was paying attention.

It's very important to support independent curators if we want our ecosystem to grow.

🌵❤️ I see inspiring exhibitions around the world, but rarely find time to share with others. So today, I'm posting photos of the incredible Maurizio Cattelan survey we saw last summer at the Serralves Museum in Porto. Each room in this gorgeous mansion on their campus was devoted to a singular work by Cattelan. Many of you here know Cattelan’s Comedian (aka The Banana).

✨Beyond this iconic/memetic work, Cattlelan reveals himself throughout his oeuvre to be the quintessential conceptual trickster, political commentator, and above all a highly gifted ruminator on the role of Powers and the Sacred. From death to politics to the Pope.

✨His works are chillingly, even painfully beautiful. I was especially blown away by his recreation of  Sistine Chapel, which I must say, I enjoy more than the original because one can actually get up close and examine the magnificence of each painting. I hope you enjoy!
