One of the pleasures of art is witnessing exciting experimentations with presentation concepts, and one such effort is the recent project between Mindy Solomon Gallery and curator and creative director Ché Morales from Abstrkt. The two teamed up with artist Genevieve Cohn and designer Hanna Ali, for a unique virtual experience Beauty of the Burden, built around Cohn’s latest group of paintings.
The question of whether virtual presentations can replace or substitute personal experience of artwork in real life will evolve and continue to be discussed, But after months of socially distant lives, the art community is eager to showcase and enjoy creative works in some way, and who better to reimagine the experience than the makers themselves? We’ve looked at “online viewing rooms” that recreate the white spaces of galleries and art fairs, and now we’re witnessing the evolution of these concepts and a merger with VR technology.
