Anonymity for the maker, credit for the eye.
The art world credits the hand and hides the eye that chooses. We invert it. Artists show anonymously — no names, only work. Directors are public, and stake their name on what they select. Named eye, anonymous hand.
The gallery is open to hang and curated to show. Anyone can mint here — there is nobody to ask and no list to get onto. What a director does is choose what to feature, which is a judgement about work rather than about people, and closer to what curation actually is.
That is the unorthodox part, and it is deliberate. Most galleries decide who may show and then show everything they make; this one lets anyone show and then decides what to stand behind. Being on the wall is not an endorsement. Being featured is, and it has a name attached.
Artists show anonymously, under no contract. They may leave at any time, taking their work with them — it was always theirs, minted from their own wallet to their own payout address.
The room has a say. Anyone signed in can like a work, say it is not for them, or vote it into the season’s zine— one of each per wallet, and nothing records which wallet. The count is public; the voters are not. Directors read those votes when they assemble the zine, and then decide, because a wall sorted by a number is a leaderboard rather than a gallery.
Each season is led by one or more directors, and new directors are added every season, so the eye keeps changing. Each season closes as a zine anyone can collect.
- 01Open to hang, curated to show. Anyone can mint; directors choose what is featured.
- 02Anonymity for the maker, credit for the eye. Named eye, anonymous hand.
- 03The anonymity does not come off. The gallery never confirms who made anything — for anyone, at any price, ever.
- 04No contracts. An artist may leave at any time.
- 05Nobody is admitted and nobody is kept out. The judgement is on the work, after it is made.
- 06Four seasons a year, each dated. Directors rotate; artists stay and accumulate.
- 07The room votes on what goes in the zine. Anonymously, one per wallet. Directors still decide.
- 08Every season closes as a zine — a public mint anyone can collect.
Seasons
The record
Anyone can hang work here, so choosing is no longer about who gets in — it is about what a director puts in front of people. Feature a work, and if it finds a collector you are paid for having found it.
Of the gallery’s 4.2069%, 2% goes to the director who featured the work and 2.2069% stays with the gallery. The total a collector pays is unchanged — the fee is split, not raised, and it never will be.
Settled from the gallery treasury at each season’s close. The sales are public on Base and the features are on this site, so anyone can check the arithmetic. Work that sold before the gallery opened its doors is still credited to the director who admitted the artist — that was a real decision and the record keeps it.
The Zine
Each season closes as a zine — work the room voted for and the directors chose, with their commentary — released as a public mint anyone can collect.
It’s a public open-edition mint on Base: while the window is open, anyone can collect a copy — free or priced at the directors’ discretion. One per season, four a year — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — each a dated record of what a season chose to show, and why.
The gallery keeps its 4.2069%, never raised; the rest goes to the season. The artists stay anonymous; the directors sign the commentary.
