Web3 art platform The Island has a mission: to onboard museums to the digital art world.
Launched last week by founders Marcin Wiszniewski and Sébastien Montabonel, The Island’s inaugural commission is a series of 60 “on-chain art” pieces created by internationally acclaimed artist Stefan Brüggemann.
The series will be displayed at the Dubai Art Fair curated section in March 2024, and in the Decentral Art Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale in April 2024.
The initiative aims to build bridges between traditional and digital art ecosystems. “There is something to gain for both worlds,” The Island’s CEO Sebastien Montabonel told Decrypt. “The traditional and contemporary art world can get access to the Web3 community, and reciprocally”.
That’s one of the reasons Montabonel turned to Mexican artist Stefan Brüggemann for The Island’s inaugural commission.
With artworks showcased in venues like the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Museo Jumex in Mexico City, and the BASS Museum in Miami, Brüggemann has over 30 years of experience in the art world.
