Bruce Presents producer and panel moderator Leonard Jacobs conceived of the topic in response to his own growing curiosity about, and fascination with, the NFT movement. “If you’re paying even slight attention to the rejuvenating art world in 2021, the topic of the non-fungible token is, indeed, not fungible. It’s utterly real; it’s radically remaking the business of art at the same time as the aesthetics of the work itself. Nor is the heft of the NFT limited to art: look at music, look at video and film, look at brands and corporate identity. They’re all starting to get the NFT lift.”
Bruce Museum COO and Managing Director Suzanne Lio, co-creator of the Bruce Presents series, added, “What’s most remarkable about the emerging NFT world is that it has been emerging for some time. It’s just in the last year or two that the mainstream art world has caught up with the vanguard in a significant way, which tells us something about the power that can result when you marry technological innovation with artistic skill and the desire to effect radical change.”
