PAYMENT HASH: NEAR
TITLE: An expression of art – You and Rock’n Roll
OBJECTIVE:
Our goal is to bring an exhibition of the Gambiarra store, where each participating artist shows through their art a remarkable fact in their life related to Rock’n Roll. Whether it’s about a show, a band, a song, an event…
JUSTIFICATION:
Rock is historically known for defying barriers, revolutionizing culture, behavior, language and fashion around the world. Facts that are closely linked to the works that our artists create. The group formed by the Gambiarra store believes that actions such as holding events and exhibitions generate growth in the network and show the strength of the collective in the Mintbase-Near network.
PROJECT:
History:
Emerged in the United States in the late 1940s, Rock came to establish itself as a countercultural musical genre.
The genre developed from other popular rhythms in the United States during the 40s and 50s, among the main ones are gospel, blues, R&B, jazz and country.
World Rock Day is celebrated on July 13, but this date does not refer to a milestone about the birth of the genre, the birthday of some creator or some creator of the style. The milestone to which the day refers was, in fact, a show, the legendary Live Aid, held exactly 37 years ago, in 1985.
In 1984, Bob Geldof composed and released the single “Do they Know It’s Christmas?” in order to raise funds to fight hunger in Ethiopia.
The single became one of the best sellers in UK history.
From there came the inspiration of Geldof along with musician Midge Ure to organize a benefit concert for the same cause, but not just a succession of artists on a stage in front of an audience: Live Aid was a simultaneous international mega-event, which took place at the same time in Wembley Stadium, London, and John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia, USA – and broadcast live to 100 countries in an estimated audience of 2 billion people in front of TVs, in one of the largest live satellite broadcasts of all time.
Through actions such as the Green Exhibition, World Internet Day, World Art Day, the Homage to the 100th Anniversary of the 1922 Week, as well as celebrations such as AMAR Exhibition, The Witch’s Journey Exhibition, the FEMINU Exhibition and the 4 Women Exhibition, members of the Gambiarra store has been increasing the engagement generated by the collective.
The Action: There will be a community-wide call for registration for the event. As there are more than 100 members in the community, a selection of 20 participating artists will be made who will exhibit 20 works of art inspired by the theme. At first the works will be organized at 3XR Space, but we hope to occupy one of the rooms in the new Gambiarra DAO building at Cryptovoxels, where we can hold an exhibition with all the works together.
Timeline:
The pre-event has already been organized since June 2022 through meetings and conversations between those involved.
From July 4, 2022, graphic materials and texts will be produced for the following week to be released.
From the 8th to the 12th of July, texts will be organized, posters and all publicity will be carried out, in addition to invitations in the Telegram, Whatsapp and Discord groups of the network of artists interested and active in NFT. All this content will also be available for disclosure on the social networks of Gambiarra DAO and the proponents.
An Expression of Art – You and Rock’n Roll will be available virtually on July 13, 2022.
