Once Twice

Shattering art market norms, Bradley’s tapestries in Once Twice will be for sale both as physical objects and simultaneously as unique files via SuperRare. Editioned as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), their ownership will be recorded through a blockchain ledger to provide proof of purchase and provenance. Bradley’s work will also be exhibited virtually in Decentraland, and both artists’ works will be available for purchase through the gallery in both USD and Ethereum.

The biomorphic figures in Bradley’s tapestries aren’t what they appear. Digitally conceived as grayscale works, they are physically woven with RGB colored thread, their vibrancy only visible in close-up. They bear the faces of real people, digitally distorted – registering the seamless, platform-bound fluctuation and masking of identity native to a world of FaceTune and biometric surveillance. Challenging the contemporary visibility fetish, Bradley’s tapestries withhold as much as they disclose, the relative qualities of their physical and digital existences rejecting the question of an “original” work altogether.
