The first NFT Micro gallery MONO launched in Tunis
Shiran Ben Abderrazak, Co-founder
and of Bift crypto entity has
launched MONO the first NFT micro gallery in Tunisia. The first artist to
showcase her art is Lebanese- Senegalese Linda Dounia Rebeiz,
MONO is located in the heart of
Tunis, Tunisia. Open to all, it stands as a mysterious portal on a very busy,
old and narrow street. Inspired by a science-fiction aesthetic from the 70s,
its style makes any passer-by question its utility, as its functionality is
rather clashing with the hustle and bustle of its area.
MONO is a window to the eccentric
world of NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens). MONO invites artists from multiple mediums
to exhibit their works on the screen, thereby allowing viewers to explore their
artistic universe through the small portal. Through a disruptive cu-ration, the
micro-gallery will be using the advantage of its location to provide to a large
audience access to digital art, make it curious and trigger conversations and
debates around the evolution of digital art and its accessibility.
For Mono’s opening,
Senegalese-Lebanese artist, Linda Dounia Rebeiz, is exhibiting a generative
piece called Bauhaus' Puzzle. She layers AI-generated acrylic paint footage
with vector-designed Bauhaus-inspired grids, as an attempt to question the grid
system as a foundational image-making instrument.
Linda Dounia Rebeiz is a
multidisciplinary artist, writer and curator, based in Dakar. Her work focuses
on the social construction of power and the cultural implications of how it is
distributed. She has exhibited work at the Tezos show at Art Basel Miami, Art X
Lagos, Fort NFT Gallery, and The Museum of Newfangled Art. Her work has
appeared in Vogue Singapore, Nataal, and The Art Newspaper.
