Season 0 <> OG Founders Club

The Season Zero OG Founders Club is designed to merge the worlds of influential artists and avid collectors into a realm of incentivized curation and ownership. This initiative allows creators to directly interact with collectors, offering a bespoke and intimate connection. Curators within this community will share insights into their upcoming collections and the inspirations behind their selections, emphasizing the uniqueness of each participant through the representation of an ERC-721 token. This approach cultivates a vibrant ecosystem where collectors' passion meets creators' vision, aiming for a more engaging and inclusive experience for all.Our vision is to establish a premier art gallery focused on outstanding photography and photogrammetry, where the emphasis is on exceptional quality rather than volume. We envision a gallery driven by its community, promoting open dialogue and enabling transformative encounters for artists and art enthusiasts alike.The launch of IKIGAI LABS will be marked by a select NFT drop from renowned photographers, specially commissioned to embody our ethos. Our strategy, though ambitious, revolves around curating exclusive collections from acclaimed photographers, embodying the principle of pursuing the extraordinary over the scalable.With the ambition to commission artists for unique creations through treasury funds, the IKIGAI membership card will open doors to exclusive drops, inviting holders to explore and acquire unique pieces.Embark with us as we forge a community-led art gallery dedicated to showcasing exceptional photography and photogrammetry. Together, we can elevate the realm of quality art and enriching experiences to new heights.

Steeped in Gaudí's mosaics

Barcelona, the Catalan capital, is a city that pulsates with life, history, and art. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Collserola mountains, its streets reverberate with stories that span centuries. But while it cherishes its history, Barcelona is also a city that embraces the future, a sentiment best encapsulated by the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).Situated in the heart of the city's vibrant El Raval district, MACBA stands as a gleaming beacon of contemporary art. The museum, designed by American architect Richard Meier, is a masterwork of modern architecture. With its stark white façade and fluid lines, the building itself is a piece of art that contrasts beautifully with the historic buildings of Barcelona.Inside, MACBA houses an impressive collection of post-1945 Catalan and Spanish art, but its reach is undeniably global. Works by renowned international artists, from Basquiat to Klee, find their place amidst thought-provoking installations, abstract sculptures, and cutting-edge multimedia art. Temporary exhibitions ensure there's always something new to explore, making every visit unique.Beyond its galleries, MACBA plays a vital role in Barcelona's cultural ecosystem. The square outside the museum is more than just an open space—it's a stage. On any given day, you'll find skaters performing tricks on the iconic spot.In a city steeped in Gaudí's mosaics, Gothic archways, and sunlit plazas, MACBA offers a refreshing divergence, celebrating the ever-evolving world of contemporary art.
