2023-02-08 15:55:08 The asian market for the artist

To begin with, we need to define what the "Asian market" is that we urgently need to "enter. For many people it is only China, although it makes up 70% of the entire Asian art market.

What countries belong to
Asian market:

•Vietnam
•Indonesia
•Thailand
•Taiwan
•Japan
•South Korea
•India
•UAE
•Katar
•Saudi Arabia
•Morocco
⠀
First of all, China is a very closed market. It is no coincidence that in 2022 China surpassed the United States in terms of art turnover. China has more than 300,000 commercial institutions: galleries, private museums and auction houses. And since 2002, the Chinese government has invested time and money to develop the local art market.
⠀
Second, the quickest and most obvious tip would be to set up WeChat. It's a Chinese social network that has absolutely everything. You'll need an invitation to register there.
⠀
The Chinese also buy in Russia, especially academic artists, and they buy well. But for that you have to be recommended, the collector has to know about your existence.
⠀
China's contemporary art market is 30 years old. And the same number of years of the free art market in Russia. But the difference is not just obvious, it's staggering. What do you think is the reason? Have you seen the photo walking around the Internet from the entrance exam to the Chinese art academy? Yes, yes, there are academies, traditions and even unions of artists there, too. And unlike our unions, membership in the Art Union of China is honorary and increases the value of an artist's work.
⠀
It is to the Chinese people's advantage that their art should be popular around the world. So that Chinese artists grow in value and their Western counterparts promote them. "Soft power" is what the Chinese government calls the effect of Chinese art on surrounding countries. This "soft power" is intended to spread Chinese culture around the world, and for what purpose is anyone's guess.

2023-02-02 21:16:45 The problem of famous
museums around the world

Art has its temples, and they are known to everyone and all over the world. If you're any kind of art lover, when you come to Paris, St. Petersburg, or Madrid, you're most likely headed to the Louvre, the Hermitage, or the Prado.

So you arrive, buy a ticket, deposit your belongings in the luggage room, and finally reach the beginning of the exhibit. Admiring the artistry of the eminent artists, you sit down on a bench in the hall more than once in the past hour, and yet you haven't even had time to study a third of everything on display.

After a few hours of studying the art, you might start to feel dizzy. Not from dehydration, although maybe from it, but from the fact that there are so many impressions, there are people around, you want to see and understand everything, and your brain can't take it.
To visit the Louvre and see all the paintings, not even a week is not enough! To look at each work, to listen to an audio guide. This is a task for the particularly hardy.

Great museums are a treasure trove of beautiful things! If only we knew what masterpieces the archives keep, and what they hide from our eyes. To show us everything is simply not possible.

At times like this, there is always the desire to break up the exhibition into logical sections, united by a single theme. To make different entrance tickets, depending on which part of the exhibition one wants to see. Want to see just the Mona Lisa? OK! Or just the Rembrandt?! You're welcome! Coming to Spain for Picasso? No problem! Открыть/Комментировать

2023-02-01 14:27:10 Where and how to try on
digital free clothes?

If you've been hearing about digital clothes for a long time and want to try on something futuristic, but you're not ready to buy such clothes. Here you will learn services and marketplaces where you can try on digital bows from different designers absolutely free of charge, create unique photo and video content with them and join the theme of digital fashion even more.

•ZERO10

Now this AR model allows you to instantly "put on" a virtual bow and record a video with it, and the tracking of clothes will look very realistic. Almost all virtual bows in the application are available absolutely for free and only some rare models are sold for a small price.

The company is convinced that digital fashion should be available to a wide audience. So right now you can go to the ZERO10 app and make unique photo and video content in various digital outfits. 

•DressX

The DressX service offers a huge variety of digital items ranging in price from $24 to $1,500, including NFT apparel, but the brand's app, which they launched relatively recently, allows you to try on virtual clothes for free. 

Unlike ZERO10, only a real-time fitting using AR technology is available. You can
record video or take photos in the DressX app itself and save the footage to your gallery.   

•Artisant

The Artisant platform is actively developing the field of digital fashion, and they recently launched the "Artisant for everyone" project with the opportunity for everyone to assemble their own collection of digital looks from various brands and designers absolutely free.

Note that each digital item has a limited time to be added to your collection, so I advise you to set a reminder and visit the resource once a day to have time to pick up your favorite bows.

2023-01-31 14:03:03 What is CC0 and why
Is it important to your NFTs?

Ever since the emergence of NFT as a digital asset, there has been some debate as to whether it can really be owned. And what was the point of such a picture if I could screencap it? 

And it seemed that the fact that the owner of the NFT had ownership of it along with it was what made NFT different from an ordinary picture from the Internet. But then at some point, CC0 licensing came into the realm of NFT, which simply removed the copyright on the collection, and now every element of it was freely available.

So what exactly is CC0 actually is?

CC0 NFT is Creative Commons Zero NFT, in which the intellectual property rights to a work with digital content have been transferred. Anyone can use the CC0 NFT without any legal consequences.

Nonetheless, protecting intellectual property was a design principle of NFT when they were launched. However, the movement of CC0 NFT is like a tsunami. And according to this model, authors can give up copyright on their work, allowing others to use it freely to create new digital artwork, a product or brand based on it.

Free use gives a good perspective to the development of NFT in popular culture. Derivative NFT collections, for example, can draw attention to the original collection. And there can be many such examples.

But this has a downside. Excessive leeway can lead to both bad consequences and serious risks. Imagine that one of the images of your collection becomes the logo of various bad groups, or that now absolutely anyone can twist the idea of your work and present it in a bad light. What irreparable damage that does.

Generally speaking, the coming of CC0 was bound to happen sooner or later. Everyone perceives this idea differently. Some don't agree, and some are interested and try to promote it.

2023-01-30 14:45:56 Art must be recorded

Absolutely every work of art tells a story-no matter how artful or abstract it is. A work of art is much more than its aesthetic qualities. It is a portal into the artist's life and their unique experience.

A few reasons why it's worthwhile to record the history of one's artwork:

•Development and evolution

Often artists berate themselves for not cataloging their paintings from the beginning, all from the fact that some of the work turns out to be lost. After all, more often than not, no one starts out as a professional artist, but cataloging your work is necessary, even if you think you're creating it for yourself.

•The Value of Creativity

A solid and documented provenance increases the value and relevance of a work of art. Lack of information can lead to the work being undervalued.

You should write down at least the date and place of creation of the painting, its title, and any personal thoughts about it. The more information you give about the work, the easier it will be to get an artistic appraisal.

•Creative Perspectives

If you have moments that emphasize history, earned awards, and copies of publications, you'll become more attractive in the eyes of curators and gallerists who want to organize an interesting exhibition or showcase work with a rich history.

•Your legacy

Every artist leaves behind a legacy. While not everyone aspires to fame or achieves fame, your work deserves to be remembered and recorded. Even if they are works created only for pleasure.

It's very common to find a few old paintings inherited from ancestors, but you have no information about them. The signatures are illegible, there is no documentation of provenance. Whoever painted these paintings has gone into oblivion, and their history has gone with them.

The artist must protect the painting as best they can, even if they don't get to be valuable or famous. Art must be recorded!
