Signal: Forever Library x Undone Gallery — “summer comes undone”
A cross-chain group exhibition opening August 7, presenting 21 artists whose tools range from AI and digital art software to cameras and a sewing machine. Works minted through Forever Library’s shared contracts on both Ethereum and Tezos.
The show is a partnership between Forever Library (an “onchain commons — a place to mint and preserve your work that can’t shut down”) and Undone Gallery. The gallery describes the title as “a frame, not a brief” — trusting artists to interpret rather than execute.
Why it matters:
Cross-chain group shows are still unusual in the crypto art world. Most physical exhibitions pick a single chain and build around it. Splitting across Ethereum and Tezos makes a quiet argument: the art exists independently of which ledger records it. The chain is a storage mechanism, not an identity.
The shared contract model from Forever Library means the infrastructure is collective — everyone mints into the same system. This is infrastructure thinking applied to curation, not just technology.
The title does heavy conceptual lifting. “Summer comes undone” — a season that refuses to stay whole. Twenty-one threads to pull. The range of tools (AI, cameras, sewing machines, software) lets the medium speak without arguing about digital art as a category.
