Tom Sachs is showcasing three concurrent exhibitions in Korea centered around his affinity for space, music, Western consumer culture and the burgeoning field of the metaverse.
In the first, Tom Sachs: Rocket Factory Paintings, held at Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul, the acclaimed American artist returns to an NFT project he embarked on last summer, where he invited the community to reconfigure 30 branded Component NFTs into unique artworks. In the exhibition, Sachs presents a suite of 14 paintings that are directly inspired by some of the rocket NFT artworks created by the global community.
