Chanel Verdult is the head of curation at UnicornDAO. UnicornDAO brings forth a new lens and a paradigm shift to disrupt the way creators are identified, sourced, and funded. Unicorn is on a mission to help build the infrastructure and mentorship for a feminist and queer revolution on blockchain.
Verdult is one of the core creative directors behind the first immersive physical meets digital avant-garde multidisciplinary international exhibition “NFT Art Berlin.” which celebrated a dynamic lineup of over 150+ exhibiting renowned artists defying ways in which digital art and performance are experienced.
Verdult has created crypto art exhibitions, art galleries, live performances and installations internationally at ArtDubai Digital, Venice Biennale, Art Basel, Tokyo Shibuya, SXSW, Zorlu Performing Arts Center and more. Her curation was recently featured, on behalf of UnicornDAO, in Gagosian Quarterly for the DAO's curation of renowned emerging and established artists. Her passions lie between art, performance and technology, collaborating with and seeking provocative visionaries who find all mediums boundless.
NFT Biennial x Vellum LA x UnicornDAO presents “POSTGENDER”. The exhibition aims to bring forth conversations about postgenderism between artists, collectives, curators and audiences.
POSTGENDER runs January 26 - February 12, 2023 at Vellum LA. Artworks will be presented on state-of-the-art LED Luma Canvas displays, and powered by Tezos.
Human after all. A collective of creatives moves past the paradigm of defined terminology into a transhumanist manifesto. We are the new undefined state of gender, one that presents fluid utopic dynamics in shaping oneness. What if we, as a culture, moved past traditional gender roles into new states of identity? What would we call it?
As technology and art pave the way for our identities which thrive in safe spaces beyond our physical bodies into celestial realms of avatar gender bending sources. We are anything we wish to be. The exhibition explores what it means for us as a collective of progressive individuals to develop a new language to overcome the paradigms of archaic gendered narratives.
The exhibition invites local and global audiences alike to engage with their practices through a physical exhibition at Vellum LA on Melrose and digitally through the NFT Biennial Metaverse.
