Building a Decentralized Art World
Outland’s new guest editor Refraction DAO is creating alternative models for organizing and funding an international network of exhibitions and events.
On October 11, Outland celebrated the premiere of Leo Villareal’s forthcoming NFT project Cosmic Bloom in London. In one bustling day—consisting of a preview breakfast, open exhibition hours, and a late-night party DJed by Kode9—friends of Outland gathered at Stone Nest, a nineteenth-century Welsh chapel in the heart of Soho. Three large-scale LED walls presented the preview of Cosmic Bloom, illuminating the space with a mesmerizing display of evolving geometric forms that reference the natural world.
Photographs by Rowben Lantion from the breakfast and party are included below. A million thanks to all who came, to Villareal and his studio, to Kode9, and to all that helped make Outland’s first London event a success!
