Botto

Summary

BIP-11 proposes to select an 8x8 grid of Botto’s fragments representing one of Botto’s emergent aesthetics. This grid will be stylistically organized by a clustering algorithm as a means of showing Botto’s process of aesthetic development, and featured and sold as a limited edition on Feral File (https://feralfile.com/). The exhibition is curated by Jesse Damiani, who curated Botto’s exhibition at Vellum LA during Frieze LA, and will take place on October 20th, near Botto’s anniversary.
