Progressive Memetics and (Fake) BTC Miami
May 2023
The exhibition “Progressive Memetics” curated by Pepenardo and Dennis Koch garnered immense success and overwhelming praise from attendees and enthusiasts alike.
People were captivated by the diverse range of artists showcased at this highly anticipated event, which boasted works by renowned artists Fake Scrilla, T Wade, Carsonated, NAPLES, NiliCoins, Robness, Pepenardo, Koch, and many others. The Fake Rare booth, an exclusive addition to the main exhibition, featured physical works by JB and Luis Simo as pepe invaded BTC23.
One of the highlights was the interactive display developed by Robot Loves Coffee. This installation allowed for active community participation, fostering a sense of engagement among collectors and artists. Additionally, artist LOVEBEING, crafted a digital mecca showcasing the entirety of the Fake Rare collection on 6 large MetaSill screens.
The show stopper, a monolithic Picasso-inspired painting titled “PEPERNICA” by Luis Simo, was purchased in a stunning sale for 1.6 BTC.
PEPE IS ART and FROGS > FIAT NYC
April 2023
NYC will never be the same. Another sell out. Three straight years of Pepe invading the corner of 72 Warren and 80 Broadway in the heart of TriBeCa. Pepe Is Art featured Fake Rares, Rare Pepes, Pepes on Ordinals, and saw a Pepenardo FAKESCIENCE original fetch over 4 BTC! The Fake Rare gallery became a hub for the finest collectors and artists, drawing in Pepe enthusiasts from the larger NFT community all week long. Each piece displayed was a unique, meticulously handcrafted work of art, from exquisite oil paintings to sculptures and everything in between. Check out the exquisite Gallery Edition collection here. LOVEBEING blew our minds with a live presentation of a growing and expanding work that is a testament to artistic ingenuity. Let’s not forget about Jules, whose interactive live glitch set-up allowed everyone to step into the world of experimentation.
