SPORT IS ART - 1st Edition
Pop-up Immersive ART Show
In 2023 Saphira & Ventura continued with their commitment to bringing top-flight fine art to the attention of affluent buyers using cutting-edge technology in a unique presentation.
Sunday, as always, the sport will be art on the court when the New York Knicks take on the Washington Wizards at Madison Square Garden, and this time art will be a sport in the skybox when the edgy NYC art gallery, Saphira & Ventura Gallery, take their most modern, immersive, experiential art exhibition Sport Is Art to Madison Square Garden.
Sport Is Art, the immersive exhibition, features the works of well-known contemporary artists De Kraan, Bari Bing, Joel Douek, Mali Perry, Devon Abbot, Da Rosa, Josh Patterson, Jamie Lee, Juca Maximo, Fabio Polesi, Rene Nascimento Curated by Alcinda Saphira, the impressive digital production was created by Ellen Oppenheim, Daria Agapitova, and the Video, Erika Fujyama.
In 2023, Saphira & Ventura continued its mission as a leading authority on the interface between design and digital manifestations of art. SVMeta has given artists and NFT creators and their organization’s access to the largest global inventory of flexible gallery spaces available. Sport Is Art at Madison Square Garden is an extension of that mission.
Established in 20TK, the Saphira & Ventura Gallery on East 43rd Street, NYC, is a cutting-edge purveyor of contemporary art, design, architecture, and the metaverse. The Gallery promotes innovative artists, designers, architects, digital art creators, and technology companies in contemporary and alternative settings… like a transfigured Skybox in the heart of Manhattan while the Knicks take on the Wizards not far below. Sport Is Art will continue throughout the year with more dynamic digital exhibitions on the way, but this Sunday…
The future begins now.
