ArtKorero is proud to present British artist Debra Franses, also known as ArtBag. Having exhibited her work in cities around the world, the acclaimed creative brings her one-of-a-kind resin works, shaped like popular handbags, to Dubai for the first time. When confronted by an Artbag you are seeing a moment in time where seemingly random objects float motionless, encased in a transparent crystalline bag.
Its time to unlock the blockchain the craze for Crypto currency and digital dematerialised ownership is just so hip. This Artbag places the old currency represented by a paper Dollar bill and an old pocket watch with the bit coin and a gold chain, the thread between the old and new and its symbolic meaning. Bit coins have shaken up the money markets and the volatility of the currency world and given rise to a tradable digital token. This Artbag points to what is different, to what is new, to what is proper within the language of the artist and her artwork, which distinguishes her from others.
