Would you like to hold the priceless Ming vase, broken and frozen in the blockchain age where the value and ontology of art are being rewritten?
In this work, a luxury commodity's breaking moment is frozen in time and in the eternity of the blockchain.
‘Priceless Ming Vase’ is a counterpoint to the museum concept by its representation.
This model is a replica of a blue and white porcelain Ming vase made during the reign of China’s Xuande Emperor (1426-35). The five-clawed dragon, being a symbol of the emperor, indicates that it was specifically made for the emperor.
Will the buyer also inherit the curse of the dragon?
