Summary/manifesto of your Space (~500 words). What is your unique value prop / elevator pitch? What type of art will you focus on? How will your Space stand out among the crowd?

Moxie means you are a force of character with a courageous and determined spirit– someone who can’t be stopped and won’t give up. The Moxie by Miss O Cool Girls space will focus on art created by girls*– girls who embody what it means to be a Moxie. There is an incredible talent pool of young female artists who are looking for opportunities to learn how to participate in digital art, but are unsure how or where to do so. At Miss O Cool Girls, our goal is to lower the barrier to entry for girls in web3 by giving them real opportunities to get involved, especially in a space that has already been so male dominated. By providing collectors with a thoughtfully curated, and visually stunning space to highlight the impressive talents of these young female artists, we can genuinely empower girls and allow collectors to discover new talent.

Through our mission to proactively include girls in the transition to Web3 and digital ownership, we believe one of the best ways to do so is by giving them the space to create and showcase their work. We’re all about diving right in and by giving these artists the opportunity to hold space in a credible CryptoArt/NFT gallery, there is no better way for them to do so!

*Girls refers to gender expansive youth

Describe you/your team’s experience curating and promoting artwork:
We all come from different backgrounds, centered on a deep love and appreciation for art.

Since March 2022, we have been highlighting girls and women in the CryptoArt space through interviews on MissO.com. We have built strong relationships with parents and girls alike in the NFT space, and have become a trusted resource for these talented young artists. We currently have our Moxie NFT Fund where we invest in collectables and 1/1 editions created by girls + women, submitted and voted by our community.

Through our web3 education initiatives for girls, we are providing the resources for girls (and their parents) to learn about the world of web3 and CryptoArt. Our recent partnership with Uniswap and Unstoppable Domains will provide girls access to our Moxie Education Hub, that also includes opportunities to promote our SuperRare Gallery and bring in new talented girl artists.

Here is the wallet address for the Moxie NFT Fund: 0x489fABdF3feba63C036705A8b56C1081eE017Cd4

Describe you/your team’s experience organizing exhibitions, making art sales, running auctions, networking with collectors, etc:

Through our Girls Who Mint Fund, we have connected with many talented girls and their parents who are looking for ways to create digital art and exhibit their work. With both online and in-person events, we’ve been building an incredible network of digital art and web3 enthusiasts.

Our team is also present at major NFT and art events. During NFT NYC, we hosted a dinner at L’Avenue, sponsored by Saks and 1Confirmation, bringing together 30 women builders, funders and creators in web3. We’ll be continuing on with this series quarterly and it’s a great opportunity to showcase the art in our gallery. We have a slate of upcoming events as well, focused around GenZ and GenAlpha girls, which will be another opportunity to expand both the talent and reach seasoned or new art collectors. In partnership with Unstoppable Domains, we will also be announcing nominations for the Top 25 Girls in Web3 List, which will continue to bring awareness to our gallery and any artists that are participating, as well as potential new ones!

Similarly, through the launch of our PFP collection Miss O Cool Girls, we have connected with many digital art collectors who would be eager to support and purchase art that is created by girls.

Are there new artists you’d like to bring into your Space in the first six months? What is your relationship to them?

If selected, how soon could you launch your first exhibition?

November

Please provide any additional details about how you plan to operate this Space; e.g. cadence of releases, auction strategy, number of artworks, other ideas for promoting your art and artists, etc.
We’d launch with 6-8 pieces of work, 1-2 unique 1/1 of pieces from each artist we bring into this first space.

Auction Strategy: either list price or reserve 24 hour auctions

Promotion:

How do you plan to structure commission rates for the artists who release in your Space?
5% to SuperRare, 15% to our team, 80% to artists.

To you, what is the importance of NFTs as a medium/technology? Where do you see the NFT and CryptoArt space in five years?

Web3 is the future of the internet, and we already see early signs of mass adoption, whether from large corporations or individuals. With Web3 comes the ability to read, write, and own, allowing creators more autonomy over their work and more significant and personalized connections for those who genuinely appreciate an artist’s creations. This is undoubtedly a fantastic opportunity for creators and consumers- but we must ensure that girls are proactively included in this transition forward. When we think about the ethos of web3: permissionless, decentralized, non-censored, how can we still build within these protocols, but ensure safety and protection for younger demos who will be the biggest adopters, especially with NFTs? We want to equip girls with the right tools that they can use to participate in Crypto/Web3 actively and make their mark without having to play catch-up later on. As this new technology evolves, it’s our chance to start it with the empowering narrative we want for girls. One that only happens with inclusion, education and involvement.

We believe CryptoArt will continue to take off as we move forward in the digital age. CryptoArt will grow to be a natural extension of identity, with more spaces built out both on and off-chain to showcase collections. With this being the case, we must ensure that girls are onboard and can contribute to the space to receive all the benefits of digital art and ownership!

If your Space were a cocktail or a dish, what would it be and why?
We’ll go with a dish bc our artists are under 18 :slight_smile:

Dirt Pie. Our artists aren’t afraid to do the work and get their hands dirty exploring this new world of web3 and CryptoArt. Dirt Pies have different textures and different flavors, but they work together to create a cohesive and unified dessert. They’re fun to make and even more fun to enjoy with a group of friends. You can always sit with us!

Anything else you’d like the community to know/consider?
We would be thrilled to be accepted into the Super Rare Spaces, and would work tirelessly to build out a beautifully curated gallery showcasing the incredible talents of girls. We’ve been able to connect with girls all over the world, and in order to make this space more equitable, we have to start by empowering these younger generations to be involved. Thank you for your consideration, and commitment to support girl Crypto Artists.

3.Names of additional Space admins:
Borya Shapshalova

4.SuperRare username(s) of everyone involved with your Space:
I’m not currently a SuperRare user (but would like to be).

5.Short bio of you and/or your team:

I am a subcontractor for a NASA funded STEM Ed MUREP project whose mission is to foster greater inclusivity in the Artemis Missions. I am doing this by creating a link between space art and space exploration missions. Currently I am a member of several space communities, AIAA.org, Analogue Astronauts and am working on the UH Manoa Hawaii Aspiring Aerospace Engineers Academy. I am also co-Founder of FrontierDAO. Our space image collection is mostly on Opensea.io/frontierdao.

Borya is a 3D architect who worked with us on the prototype of building the Outer Space Virtual Museum. She is active in the VCA community and is also passionate about space. The museum prototype was built on Ariumx.xyz and is accessible through the link on FrontierDAO.xyz/faqs-projects.

7.Summary/manifesto of your Space (~500 words). What is your unique value prop / elevator pitch? What type of art will you focus on? How will your Space stand out among the crowd?

We are helping to mentor the Artemis Generation through space art. As NASA and its 27 signatory partners prepare to put the first woman and person of color on the moon, we are reaching out to people of all backgrounds, ages and socio-economic status to foster inclusivity in this ‘space (exploration) race.’

Since the Apollo Missions of the 60s and 70s, space exploration has been something to be in awe of and admired, but it has remained unreal and out of reach for the majority of people on Earth. We aim to change that perception and change it primarily through art.

We have already built the Outer Space Virtual Museum, the first of its kind in the metaverse. This Space on SuperRare will enlarge our platform and allow us to showcase the many talented space artists who are working in the ecosystem today. Most of them get little support or recognition and yet their images are ones that inspire the next generation to dream of reaching Mars.

To my knowledge our Outer Space Virtual Gallery on SuperRare will be a one-of-a-kind.

8.Describe you/your team’s experience curating and promoting artwork:

I have lived in Paris, France for the past 12 years. The chance to visit museums weekly, to not just learn about art, but to also be immersed in it, has left an indelible impression on my sense of aesthetics and appreciation for art. When I first received the OK from NASA to curate space exploration images as NFTs, I was extremely grateful, to say the least. Since then, I have minted over 400 iconic space images as NFTs. I have also come to know and meet a whole armada of very talented artists who are all specialized in space art. Some of them I have worked with to help them learn how to mint their work as NFTs, and others we have planned expositions of their work in our virtual museum or as special limited collections.

Borya is both and artist herself and a curator of digital art. She is an architect by training and has immersed herself in the digital art world, especially the metaverse since 2020. She has a highly refined aesthetic and through her work with us, has become exposed to space art and space artists.

We also can count as an advisor a member of (SpaceX) who herself has created her own collections of NFTs. (But she has requested to remain anonymous for now).

9.Describe you/your team’s experience organizing exhibitions, making art sales, running auctions, networking with collectors, etc:

I have a close working relationship with many people here in Paris who are NFT France founders. I have also participated in NFT auctions here in Paris, notably the Burnt Auction. I also did several seasons with a few Discord NFT collecting groups and am an early member of CLUB NFT.

Borya comes more from the 3D metaverse world. She has extensive experience in hosting metaverse events for artists and showcasing art and artists through virtual events. She herself has won recognition as a digital artist.

10.Are there new artists you’d like to bring into your Space in the first six months? What is your relationship to them?

Yes there are several artists I have been working with, onboarding them to Web3 and NFTs. Jackie Burns (@artistburns) is one as well as James Vaughan and many more in the space art field. My relationship with all of them is purely professional.

11. Are there any artists already in the CryptoArt space that you are planning to work with? Have they committed to participating yet?

There aren’t many in the crypto art space yet. Except the advisor noted above, who is also a significant influencer.

12. If selected, how soon could you launch your first exhibition?

We could launch a first exhibit within 30 Days.

13.Please provide any additional details about how you plan to operate this Space; e.g. cadence of releases, auction strategy, number of artworks, other ideas for promoting your art and artists, etc.
We will showcase one new featured artist per week, and then do a group auction each month. Artist features will be thematic - ex. Mars, Moon, James Webb Telescope, Sustainable Habitat, etc. - so as to harmonize with what space enthusiasts are focused on at any given time.

We will also foster a very strong youth outreach. The ‘Artemis Generation’ has a desire to participate in space exploration and are keenly interested in imagery from outer space. We intend to integrate STEM Ed incentives and learning with some of the collections, such as prize giveaways for the successful completion of a NASA APP challenge or a STEAM project supported by their school or school district.

14. How do you plan to structure commission rates for the artists who release in your Space?

70% of direct sales goes to the artist; Royalties set at 10%

15. To you, what is the importance of NFTs as a medium/technology? Where do you see the NFT and CryptoArt space in five years?

NFTs are a way to value the digital representation of art. They also offer a way to immutably record and archive our most precious images. Furthermore, I see NFTs as a mechanism for inclusivity into the world of art and art appreciation.

In five years I believe NFTs will have become so mainstream that they will simply be referred to as art.

16. If your Space were a cocktail or a dish, what would it be and why?

Our space would be Enceladian sushi. Enceladus is Saturn’s moon. For many years now it has been assumed that its icy surface does not allow for any life there. However, thanks to recent images, there is now proof that below the icy surface of this moon, there exists large lakes and reservoirs of liquid water. This has caused scientists to conjecture recently that there could be life beneath the surface of Enceladus’ icy exterior.

17. Anything else you’d like the community to know/consider?

We are in active discussions with one of the bigger auction houses (IRL) about hosting annual auctions of our NFT collections. We would integrate this partnership into this Spaces which would add prestige to all concerned parties.

Ad Astra!

Name and email of primary contact: Wendla Nölle – [email protected]

Names of additional Space admins: Jasna Lohr – [email protected]

SuperRare username(s) of everyone involved with your Space:

Short bio of you and/or your team:
Wendla studied “Visual Communication” with teachers such as Wim Wenders and built her career as a director. She has directed two feature documentaries that have enjoyed international success at film festivals and aired on television and Netflix. Wendla has also made a name for herself in the advertising industry, creating major campaigns for well-known companies. Her feature film debut hit German theaters this summer.
Always looking for strong visual stories, she searched in vain for such for her walls and decided to open her own online photography gallery with her very good friend Jasna.

Jasna worked as an event manager for international productions in the premium segment to connect people with ideas. She developed concepts for corporate events from Athens to Frankfurt, managed the stand construction at the fair in Kuala Lumpur and the interior design for the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. She has organized day- long posh private parties from Cap Ferrat to NYC and created visual experiences with love.
After so many trips around the globe, she decided to start a new chapter. Jasna studied Motion Design and graduated with a BA of Arts degree from the technical college of art. She then worked as an art director at a renowned creative agency in Berlin and later as a commercial production manager - supporting clients such as Red Bull, Ford and MTV for TV and online campaigns.
With her passion for moving moments and the vision to combine relevant content and aesthetics, she founded the online art space mynt.art together with her friend Wendla.

Summary/manifesto of your Space (~500 words). What is your unique value prop / elevator pitch? What type of art will you focus on? How will your Space stand out among the crowd?
Art reflects society and questions its ideals and narratives.
It criticizes, moves, dismantles, inspires, touches and makes us happy. Artists are the visionaries of our global co-existence.
They take a stance, shift perspectives and social structures.
Art is needed for social change - it starts on your wall and in your wallet.

mynt.art is curating contemporary photography with strong storytelling and a social conscience. The female curators behind mynt.art have a background in filmmaking and advertising. Always looking for what they love and what is socially relevant, mynt.art stands for Zeitgeist, diversity, new narratives and stunningly beautiful images.

mynt.art represents professional photographers from all around the world, with a focus on new voices from the global south. All of the artists have a strong conceptual approach and, as authors, visually rewrite their own stories or give a new perspective on those they observe.

The artworks and their stories speak best about mynt.art vision, so here comes the concept for the first drop.

ABOUT THE FIRST DROP // In the floods of images we consume daily, the need for strong female figures and new narratives has never been more important. But what does an empowering visual role model look like? Throughout history, women have been portrayed and photographed through the eyes of men, shaping how generations upon generations of women see themselves. This has resulted in one-dimensional presentations of feminine identity, further entrenching social inequality.

In their first NFT drop, mynt.art highlights this issue by curating digital artworks that are an ‘Ode to Female Superpower’ with a collection of artwork by international photographers reclaiming the interpretive sovereignty of female representation.
Among them a photography of the highly acclaimed series “Metamorphosis” by Amsterdam based visual artist duo Lois Cohen & Indiana Roma Voss.

ABOUT ‘METAMORPHOSIS’ // In their project 'Metamorphosis’, Dutch photographer Lois Cohen and stylist Indiana Roma Voss journey through history to reimagine female archetypes as bold new icons for the 21st-century woman. Doing away with the unrelatable, monolithic representation of what a woman should look like is at the heart of this mission. “I think we were discussing the lack of diversity among Disney princesses and the white-washing of certain female characters such as Betty Boop, and it soon turned into this conversation about the lack of diverse female representation in general,” says Cohen on the origins of the project. Sick of the “docile dolls” that dominated the visual landscape of their adolescence, the duo set out to create heroines that could speak to the full spectrum of women they knew, embracing all of their many dimensions and contradictions. From the archetypes of art history such as the Odalisque and Venus through to religious icons like Madonna, via pop culture idols like Barbie and the Power Rangers, the pair reached far back into the archives of visual culture for their source material. “While researching this project, we really looked for women who had been misrepresented and that needed redeeming of sorts,” explains Roma Voss. Drawing on the aesthetics and symbolism of each character, they then used casting, location and styling to transfigure them into a contemporary context. mynt.art aims to enrich web3 with fantastic art that will contribute to the dialogue on social justice, inclusion, equality and other globally relevant issues. And build a bridge between the virtual and the real world, between physical and digital art. The stories told by the mynt artworks and artists are to be retold in the virtual world.

Describe you/your team’s experience curating and promoting artwork:
Coming from the film and event industry, we know what great stories and stunning visual experiences are. We have a fine sense for aesthetics and are super passionate about what we do.

With a huge international network in the film and photography industry, it was easy for us to connect with our artists and convince them of our vision. We are deliberately looking for photographers who are working across genres - photo journalists with aesthetic sensitivity, commercial and fashion photographers taking a stance and fantastic freelance photographers with a love for the conceptual.

We are part of the democratization of the art market.
mynt.art provides easy low-threshold access to well-curated art in gallery quality. By approaching young collectors, first-time art buyers and interior lovers, with an interest in limited editions and high-quality art, who at the same time value conceptual work, diversity, relevant content, and self-aware biographies.

We are promoting our artworks on various channels. From synergies with fitting brands to classical online marketing, from pop-up exhibitions to B2B collaborations.

Describe you/your team’s experience organizing exhibitions, making art sales, running auctions, networking with collectors, etc:
mynt.art launched a year ago, and right now our focus is on building our brand with positive impact and working on visibility in the German and European market.

We have established different marketing channels:
We started online marketing campaigns based on data performance
We have built collaborations with interior design brands
We have built lasting relationships with thematically appropriate influencers. Started first hotel collaborations
Had our first pop-up exhibitions in Berlin and Frankfurt.

Our next step is to build the bridge between the real and the virtual world.
We are planning quarterly pop-up exhibitions, each of which will address a relevant social issue. In parallel, there will be NFT drops accompanied by a virtual dialog about the theme of the exhibitions.

Are there new artists you’d like to bring into your Space in the first six months? What is your relationship to them?
Yes, we have 25 amazing artists in our vibrant portfolio so far and most of them are super curious and excited about web3 and are interested in selling their art as NFTs. As mentioned above we are planning quarterly drops that represent the artists and their narratives and perspectives.

We are in close relationship with all of our artists and they keep us updated about all the new exciting stuff they are working on. So there is much more to come…

Are there any artists already in the CryptoArt space that you are planning to work with? Have they committed to participating yet?
A couple of our artists are already selling some of their work as NFTs.
With building a virtual gallery space on a platform like SuperRare, some of them would be definitely very interested in selling their NFTs through us as well.
But we are also interested in connecting with new artists in the CryptoArt space and representing them on our platform. That would also be a great advantage of being part of SuperRare.

If selected, how soon could you launch your first exhibition?
If we are selected, we would toast briefly with a sparkling wine and then immediately start with all marketing measures for the first drop and plan 6 weeks for this.

Please provide any additional details about how you plan to operate this Space; e.g. cadence of releases, auction strategy, number of artworks, other ideas for promoting your art and artists, etc
In conjunction with our quarterly thematic pop-up exhibitions, we will quarterly drop 2-5 artworks under the same topic - NFT Photography and video artwork by our international artists from South Africa to Oman to NYC to Berlin. Themes will include ‘revisualizing gender identities’, ‘stories of displacement’ or ‘critical race theories’, to only name a few.

What story does your wallet tell? We want to do more than just sell NFTs, we want to open a dialogue about the themes of our artworks. Our vision is to build a community of people interested in socially relevant issues and stunning photography. In advance of the drops, we plan to host a Twitter Space with the artists and/or advocates and spokespeople for the theme.

By purchasing a mynt.NFT, buyers not only show attitude, excellent taste in art and social responsibility in web3, but also support the artists behind the works, invest in a charity project, become part of the mynt.art community and also receive great additional benefits.

Exciting utilities are also associated with the value of our drop:

Gallery quality A3 print on Alu-Dibond of the artwork - for a new perspective on the walls.
Hand signed physical certificate with personal dedication - every artwork has its own value

Early access to the next drop with new relevant topics.
Digital Meet / Q&A with the artists, to continue the dialogue around the topic of the artwork.

Our first drops will be 1/1s straight sales and live auctions for later drops. But we would love to get advice and feedback from the SuperRare team on the best drop strategies.

We are planning to work with Studio Self - Joan Westenberg on the marketing for our first drops - https://twitter.com/Joanwestenberg

How do you plan to structure commission rates for the artists who release in your Space?
After deducting the minting costs and the platform fees, we would split the remaining amount as follows:
10% for a themed charity
50% artist share
40% mynt.art share

To you, what is the importance of NFTs as a medium/technology? Where do you see the NFT and CryptoArt space in five years?
NFTs are equality. We love the idea that the CryptoArt space is global and not dominated by the Western world. And that artists from the global south can exhibit without the money and structures of the classical art market.

NFTs are community. We love the idea of continuous dialogue on socially relevant topics and the joint search for solutions on how to change the world - far away from social and political structures and control.

NFTs are freedom of expression. We love the vision of a decentralized and democratic virtual space and hope that it will connect and interact with our real world.

NFTs are no judgment. Who says what art is allowed on the art market? We believe that everyone has a say in what art touches and has value.

We hope that the CryptoArt space is more than blooming in five years. That it is full of fantastic art from paintings, to video art to photography. And from diverse artists from all around the globe.

If your Space were a cocktail or a dish, what would it be and why?
Old Cuban
a young classic. Audrey Saunders had been working on the cocktail recipe for some
time before opening her own legendary bar, the Pegu Club, in NYC. The Old Cuban became her signature drink - simple to create and even easier to drink. The cocktail is a vibrant blend of flavours including old Cuban rum, sugar syrup, lime juice, bitters, mint leaves and champagne for festivity.

Saunders is a woman with a clear attitude, a strong vision and is considered one of the best bartenders in the world. She still runs the Pegu Club today, which is globally recognized as the bar that catapulted the modern craft cocktail movement into gear in the United States, forever changing the way America drinks.

Anything else you’d like the community to know/consider?
