Beeple’s first solo exhibition will premiere at China’s Deji Museum

Famous digital artist Beeple announced that his first solo museum exhibition will be held in November 2024 at the Deji Museum in Nanjing, China.

Famous artist Michael Joseph Winkelmann posted a video on his X account from the Deji Museum announcing his first solo exhibition, which will take place on November 14, 2024 at the Deji Art Museum in Nanjing.

The title of his exhibition is Beeple: Tales from a Synthetic Future, which will feature prominent digital artworks from throughout Beeple’s career.

The museum claims on its social media that the event will be Beeple’s largest solo exhibition to date and will feature some of Beeple’s most iconic works, including Everydays, Human One, S.2122 and pieces created specifically for the Nanjing exhibition.

“I am pleased to announce that my first solo museum exhibition will open next month at the Deji Museum in Nanjing, China,” said the artist, known professionally as Beeple.

On October 1, Beeple released his latest artwork, The Tree of Knowledge, which utilizes his series of kinetic sculptures first introduced in his work Human One. The artwork features a digital tree image that overlaps with news footage from various media outlets.

“By turning the dial between signal and noise, viewers see the difference between a serene future where technology and nature coexist, and a chaotic present filled with real-time data, media, and information overload,” the post said.

The Tree of Knowledge was first unveiled at Italian Technology Week, where it was announced that the piece had been purchased by Lingotto, with funds going to Beeple Studios’ non-profit organizations Art into Acres and Big Green.

Over the years, Beeple has become an acclaimed artist in the non-fungible token space. He is known as the first artist to have a digital work sold through the famous auction house Christie’s.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s work “FTX Board Meeting, Day #5676 11.13.2022 (2023)”, inspired by his gossip with the FTX team, became a permanent part of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Artte Contemporanea art museum in Italy. .
