Today’s the day. @ninachanel opening at @JackShainman gallery in Kinderhook. So excited for everyone to see what Nina’s been working on - it’s her Super Punk World and we’re just living in it.
Super Punk World will be randomly airdropped to SCW holders ONLY. Thanks to the @cryptopunks team, @yugalabs and everyone who has supported my project and believes in the art. I am utterly disgusted with some of the racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic comments the controversy around this project has unearthed. Whats really at the underbelly of this space? 😔 Now more than ever I will continue my mission toward an inclusive community where everyone is accepted and ideas that spark productive dialogue are welcomed. No hate tolerated. Stay tuned for details regarding the airdrop. #scw 🌍
Super Punk World is a 500-piece collection that is as playful as it is profound. For our Punk in Residence collaboration - @ninachanel has created hybridized 3D sculptures that blur the lines of race & gender and reflect upon virtual versus real world identities.

Unveiling our first Punk in Residence collection, "Super Punk World," in collaboration with @ninachanel at the monumental exhibition of her newest body of work on display at @jackshainman Gallery.
I have found Artist Residencies such an important part of professional practice.
In them, we change our environment and set aside time and space exclusively for a deep dive into our work.
When an artist residency concludes with the exhibition of that body of work, we are able to share and celebrate the creative cycle in full.
Congratulations @ninachanel I look forward to seeing the work in full! Also, well done @cryptopunks for this initiative of supporting and elevating Punk artists.
@NaughtalieStone@ninachanel@cryptopunks @JackShainman Congrats and best of luck to all. I don’t think people realize how big of a deal it is to have artist like her in web3.
“What does Punk mean to you?”
That’s the brief for our inaugural Punk-in-Residence program, but it’s also a question I ask myself quite a bit. Or perhaps, what does it mean to be Punk?
Punk is about rebellion, unrelenting authenticy, making your own rules, and ultimately it’s about a DGAF bravery.
And this is who @ninachanel is, this what Nina does. She stands for what she believes in: a breaking down of barriers that limit and constrain…whether that is mediums, trad art versus crypto art, your gender or the color of your skin, where you were born or what you were born to.
Punk #72 is willing to put herself out there to stand for what she believes in…and we believe in her.
Introducing “Super Punk World” — a 500-piece digital avatar collection hand-curated by our first Punk in Residence, @ninachanel.
Inspired by iconic CryptoPunks traits in conversation with Super Cool World attributes, the collection utilizes the 3D medium to reimagine the viewing experience of Abney’s art through the Punk lens, inviting collectors to become a part of her work for the first time.
Super Punk World will be exhibited alongside Abney’s new body of work at The School | @JackShainman Gallery in Kinderhook, NY from May 18th to October 5th.
More details on the collection and auction will be announced soon.
