And TRANSFER pre-sold its solo presentation of time-based media installation work by Canadian artist Lorna Mills. Yellowwhirlaway (2017) was acquired by a private collection in the weeks leading up to the fair. The work will enter the Fabric Media Collection, a new St. Louis-based initiative to build a leading digital art collection, with a focus on works by emerging artists, particularly seminal women in the field.

“As a gallery solely focused on digital and time-based media, we were drawn to Future Fair due to their innovative use of digital communication and online storytelling,” said TRANSFER owner, Kelani Nichole. “We appreciate that its model centers the redistribution of resources. This is something we are also focused on as the gallery transitions to a non-profit data trust, which will ensure the longevity and accessibility of digital artworks.”
