Through a bracing use of color and unapologetic scale, Abney's canvases propose a new type of history painting, one grounded in the barrage of everyday events and funneled through the velocity of the internet. Her work is included in collections around the world, including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Rubell Family Collection, and The Art Gallery of New South Wales.
NINA CHANEL ABNEY: SEIZED THE IMAGINATION
NFT Collection
What is Super Cool World?
SuperCool World Art
Nina Chanel's Super Cool World is a collection of 5,080 NFTs (non-fungible tokens) that are made up of hundreds of traits designed by Nina Chanel Abney that reflect her frenetic collage-like approach to visual media.
Super Cool World is a generative PFP-based project created as an alternative way to interact with fans and collectors. Nina Chanel Abney has completely embraced NFT as a new medium and is interested in the endless potential and capabilities of NFTs that allow for a much deeper engagement with one's community.
Nina Chanel Abney is a world renowned fine artist so the opportunity to collect pieces of her work is the main project utility. However, each Super Cool World NFT is a unique piece of artwork that doubles as an invitation to participate in the evolution of Nina Chanel Abney's career. Super Cool World holders may get access to exclusive Nina Merch, collaborative product releases, air drops, events, incentivized participation in exhibitions and surprise raffle drawings.
Enter into Nina's “Super Cool World” and join her on her journey filled with fun and spontaneity.
"All Super Cool World holders will have the unique opportunity to live with my work outside the NFT that's in their wallet, with the chance to acquire something tactile and carefully created." - Nina Chanel Abney STEP 1
If you don’t already own a Super Cool World NFT, discover and purchase one you love via a marketplace such as Opensea. Browse the collection here.
Setting up a crypto wallet to purchase and store an NFT:
– You will need a crypto wallet with sufficient funds to purchase an NFT. Setting up a MetaMask wallet and using a google chrome extension or the mobile app are typically the easiest ways to set yourself up.
– Once your wallet is set up make sure to keep your seedphrase safe and do not share it with anyone. The seedphrase is the only way to recover your wallet and use it on new devices.
– Make sure your wallet has enough ETH in it to make the purchase. You can add ETH to your wallet through MetaMask. See the next step for how much ETH you may need. It’s always wise to get ~€10-20 worth of ETH more than you need to cover any blockchain transaction fees.
Find the NFTs you'd like to collect and have printed:
– Check the SuperCoolWorld collection on Opensea for available NFTs. The quickest way to purchase an NFT is by looking for an NFT that is listed for sale. If an NFT is listed for sale, you can add it to your cart.
– If the NFT is not listed for sale, you can make an offer for it, although this may take a while to be accepted or may be rejected by the owner of the NFT.
– Once the transaction has been completed, the NFT should now be in your wallet.
If you are buying an NFT once the printing window has started, please check if the NFTs you like have been printed yet or not using the registry on the product page - each NFT can only be printed once.
STEP 2
Connect your wallet on the Avant Arte website. You will then be able to choose from your Super Cool World NFTs to transform into a print.
STEP 3
Once your order has processed, our team of printmakers in London will transform your selected digital artworks into physical prints.
STEP 4
Your artwork is completed with an authenticating QR code, stamp and unique title.
STEP 5
Your prints will arrive in bespoke boxes, along with art handling gloves. If you selected framing at checkout, your prints will arrive ready to hang in bespoke black wooden frames.
STEP 6
By scanning the QR, you will be able to authenticate your print, verifying your ownership of the original NFT and connected print.
When you scan your QR, you will be redirected to an Avant Arte page where you can authenticate your print. You'll be asked to login to your Avant Arte account (same as the one you purchased the print with), then to your wallet where the NFT is. Once logged in, a green tick appears showing that the print is fully authenticated. The page is accessible to everyone (if you have the URL) but, only those who can login with the right email and the right wallet will be able to fully authenticate the piece. If the print has already been authenticated (by you or someone else), you will see which wallet has authenticated the piece and therefor the current owner of the print.
