Reflection | Part 2
From CryptoPunks to Heidi Bucher — and it all makes perfect sense.
Seeing Museum of Modern Art welcoming Heidi Bucher into its collection feels deeply right.
From pixel bodies and digital identities to fragile, tactile skins and water-based forms — this is one continuous conversation about presence, the body, and transformation.
At CityX, we’ve always believed that digital-native art and radical feminist, material practices are not opposites — they are connected by the same questions:
Who are we?
How do we inhabit space?
What traces do we leave behind?
From on-chain avatars to latex, textile, water, and skin — history doesn’t break, it expands.
Welcome to the canon, Heidi 🖤
And yes — this is exactly the bridge CityX stands for.

Heidi Bucher (1926–1993) | Part 1
Swiss artist and a radical pioneer of feminist and material-based art.
Heidi Bucher is best known for her Bodyshells — latex and textile “skins” peeled from architectural interiors, furniture, and objects. Her practice explored memory, trauma, domestic space, and the body as a site of inscription long before these conversations entered the mainstream.
Alongside architecture, water played a central role in her artistic thinking — not as landscape, but as a charged metaphor for transformation, embodiment, and release from fixed forms. Water and the dragonfly recur in her work as symbols of shedding, metamorphosis, and renewal.
➤ In the CityX Foundation Collection:
Heidi Bucher — Wasserstock (Waterstick), 1977
A powerful voice that continues to resonate — now entering new institutional and digital conversations.

✨ Merry Christmas and a brilliant New Year! 🎄
Warmest holiday wishes to our friends, collaborators, and community. Thank you for being part of the CityX Foundation journey 💎
2025 was a year in motion: from @ZonaMaco with Tetiana Malinovska, to curating the first Web3 Nude Photography Auction, to Art Busan 2025 with a tribute to David Lynch and digital presentations bridging physical and digital art worlds.
As our founder @asusha_asya shares:
“CityX Foundation began as a personal journey between heritage and discovery. Rooted in my family’s collection of Ukrainian and international avant-garde, it supports fragile art and explores phygital experiences that change how art is felt and shared. For me, this is where the next generation finds its voice in cultural evolution..”
🚤 Looking ahead:
We’re proud to announce our two-day CityX Foundation Program during the Venice Biennale, May 7–8, 2026 — with curated conversations, special guests, and a few surprises.
More details coming soon, first for our community.
Thank you for being part of this story - and this is only the beginning.
Sharing winter holiday love 💖
CityX Foundation ✨
💎 Collector’s Choice | @ilyabliznets
Ilya Bliznets is a digital figurative artist whose work merges AI generation with manual digital painting — creating layered worlds suspended between the real and the surreal.

For Soft Error. A Metamorphosis Chapter — the phygital exhibition by @accomparts × @artontezos_ × @objktcom — Bliznets presented two new works, minted October 2025:
💎 Gust (1/1)

Sergey Bratkov | Artist Portrait
🎭 Sergey Bratkov (b. 1960, Kharkiv, Ukraine) is one of the most significant voices in contemporary Ukrainian and Eastern European art. Now based in Berlin, Bratkov’s multidisciplinary practice spans photography, painting, installation, video, and performance.
Combining documentary methods with conceptual strategies, his works explore identity, vulnerability, and the emotional imprints of post-Soviet transition. Over the years, he has shaped a new generation of artists — both through his artistic vision and his twelve years of teaching.
Bratkov has represented Ukraine at major international exhibitions:
• Venice Biennale (2003, 2005, 2007)
• São Paulo Biennale (2002)
• Manifesta 5 (2004)
🖼️ Solo exhibitions include:
• Kunstmuseum, Magdeburg
• S.M.A.K., Ghent
• Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead
• Photomuseum Winterthur
• Haus der Photographie, Deichtorhallen, Hamburg
• PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv
🗂️ His works are included in prestigious public and private collections such as Centre Pompidou, Pinault Collection, FRAC, and PinchukArtCentre.
✨ Sergey Bratkov is one of the core artists in the CityX Foundation Collection. We’re proud to present his work in upcoming exhibitions and collaborations — reflecting our mission to preserve and champion Fragile Art: art shaped by cultural disruption, memory, and resistance.

Sergey Bratkov in the CityX Collection
🧩 Bratkov’s art often uncovers the surreal, absurd, and emotionally charged layers of everyday life — particularly within the psychological and cultural landscapes of post-Soviet Ukraine. His images move fluidly between tenderness and provocation, elevating intimate human moments into broader political and social metaphors.
He frequently captures children, soldiers, and ordinary figures as emblems of deeper structural change — contrasting external appearances with complex inner realities.
➤ In the CityX Foundation Collection:
Sex Shop. Red Bunny from the series Kiss my Google (2016)
→ Photography and collage
This work reflects Bratkov’s exploration of digital desire, constructed identity, and the absurdities of consumerism — a hallmark of his visual language that blends sharp critique with playful subversion.

🎭 Vitaliy Kulikov (1935–2015) was a Ukrainian artist and graphic illustrator known for his expressive style and emotional depth.
In the CityX Collection: Lilith (2004), oil on canvas.
This work became one of the very first pieces in our digital collection — digitized and minted on the blockchain as part of the Kharkiv Avant-Garde drop.
💃 On @asusha_asya’s iconic birthday, Lilith was shared with the CityX community as a special gift: 40 editions for 40 guests — a gesture of connection, memory, and celebration.
🧬 Lilith continues to live both in our physical archive and as part of CityX evolving digital legacy.

It’s a wrap - @ZonaMaco and #artweekmexicocity 2025.
Honored and absolutely happy to be a part of these festive February days in the heart of Mexico ✊🏻🇲🇽🍀
#ZonaMaco2025
Art’s magic? It’s simple. A single stroke, a color, a shadow — it hits you, right in the chest. You feel it. It spreads, reaches your bloodstream, and suddenly you're floating in a rush of dopamine and love. That’s what @ZonaMaco is for us: a scaled art therapy, wrapped up in the pulse of Mexico City, its vibe, and the the most beautiful and talented people it’s brought together this week #artweekmexicocity.
Viva Mexico City!
#HappyValentine’s Day from CityX Foundation 🫶🏻🌻🍀

Here, freedom of expression knows no bounds. Language, technique, and desire collide, blurring the lines between past and future, leaving only a dynamic, vibrant here and now that makes Zonamaco truly honest and special 🙌🏻🍀👁️
