Summary
- Offline positions itself as a response to the limitations of the post-NFT crash art landscape
- Unlike typical galleries, Offline does not follow a fixed exhibition calendar
SuperRare’s new physical gallery, Offline, has officially opened its doors to the public with Mythologies for a Spiritually Void Time, a group show featuring 15 artists working across digital and physical media. Located at 245 Bowery in New York, the exhibition runs through July 25 and marks a sharp shift in how digital art is presented in traditional spaces.
Led by curator Mika Bar-On Nesher, Offline positions itself as a response to the limitations of the post-NFT crash art landscape. “Digital art is not a gimmick,” Bar-On Nesher told ARTnews. “It’s part of contemporary culture, and artists using these tools deserve to be taken seriously.”
The show features painting, animation, sculpture, performance, and networked media. Offline challenges the idea that digital means screen-only. Instead, it reflects how artists are integrating technology into varied forms.
Bar-On Nesher, who has worked in digital art since 2016, said the goal is to create a flexible platform that evolves with tech and culture. “We’re not interested in outdated models. We want to reflect the way people actually live now,” she said.
Unlike typical galleries, Offline does not follow a fixed exhibition calendar. Future programming will vary in length and format and include performances, panels, and community events. All sales from the current exhibition go directly to the artists. Offline operates independently, though it remains connected to the SuperRare marketplace.
