Curated by Chinese artist Funa Ye, Exhibitionist is a new media installation exhibition at contemporary art centre UCCA in Beijing.
Metaverse Nails was presented as part of the Enter the Nail Project - a crowdsourced contemporary nail art exhibition, comprised of submissions from various artists, designers and makers. With the objective of exploring the potential of fingernails - an overlooked artistic canvas typically reserved for manicurists - to act as micro exhibition spaces - Exhibitionist challenges traditional notions of artistic display. This is reflected not only in the unconventional choice of medium, but in the creator - nail art is accessible to anyone, irrespective of age, gender or profession.
As a subversive digital wearable product centred around artistic expression, Metaverse Nails aligned perfectly with the rebellious spirit of the Exhibitionist.
