Borderless Art Comes to Life With Superchief’s Network of NFT Galleries Digital art and NFTs have transcended the confines of the metaverse–or they hope to very soon. Edward Zipco, the founder of Superchief Gallery, which opened in Manhattan in March 2021, is working to speed the process up. During the EthCC event held in Paris in July, he unveiled his plan to create a global network of 50 physical NFT galleries, where artists and exhibitions could seamlessly travel between different countries. Kicking off the world tour? IHAM Gallery, Europe’s first native NFT Gallery, based in Paris. The venue hosted Superchief’s “Cyberpunk” exhibition during the EthCC. Another Parisian venue, the NFT Factory, as well as Unpaired Gallery in Switzerland, Knox Gallery in Japan, Uncommon Gallery in Korea, OX Society in Canada, and Oshi Gallery in Australia, are also part of the adventure. Each of the galleries already exists, but Zipco wants to better connect each of them via global exhibits, each existing simultaneously in all the networked galleries thanks to the unique characteristics of digital art. “The exchange of ideas and creativity among these galleries will be a testament to the global impact of the NFT movement, transcending borders and connecting artists and communities from diverse regions,” Zipco told Decrypt. Grida, the Art Director at IHAM gallery, echoes this vision, aiming to leverage.
