© Rafaël Rozendaal | | | | | | In his NFT works, Rozendaal explores, among other aspects, pioneers and compositional techniques in 20th-century art. "Color, Code, Communication" is the first monographic NFT exhibition of the New York-based artist in a European museum and will be accompanied by an international symposium on NFT art held on 21–22 April 2023.
Rafaël Rozendaal (*1980) is one of the best-known players in digital art worldwide. As early as the beginning of the 2000s, the artist conceived and distributed works in the form of websites as unique pieces. For a good three years now, Rozendaal has been realising his art as 'non-fungible token'. In his latest NFT projects, Rozendaal combines pictorial motifs and themes from recent art history with current forms of communication and developments in blockchain. In his artistic work, he develops a visually fascinating visual language, both for digital space and urban contexts. Museum Folkwang presents the range of the artist’s works as immersive installations, site-specific wall works, an artist’s book, in browser windows or social media as well as in public space. | | | | | | | | | Rafaël Rozendaal

© Rafaël Rozendaal | | | | | | A highlight of the exhibition is the walk-through presentation of "81 Horizons" (2021) in the museum’s large exhibition hall. The 81-part NFT series is presented over 1,000 square metres as an immersive video installation, in which our visual experience on screens and in browser windows is juxtaposed with contemplative strolling in an exhibition situation. Rozendaal plays with the art historical topos of the horizon line – for his abstractions, he compresses two monochrome colour fields and a line each into files of around 0.3 KB.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a two-day symposium (21/22 April 2023). At the conference "New Landscapes - NFTs and the Museum", internationally renowned artists, curators, academics and bloggers will discuss the interfaces between the museum world, digital arts and Web3.
Supported by the Sparkassen-Kulturfonds des Deutschen Sparkassen- und Giroverbandes, Sparkasse Essen and Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Rheinland.
