Artist, critic, dealer, educator and outspoken NFT supporter Kenny Schachter is celebrating the conclusion of Slow Food– his first New York City art exhibit in 25 years– at The NFT Gallery on Manhattans Lower East Side, fresh off the heels of headlining NFT Art Day ZRH in Zurich, Switzerland, coinciding with the iconic annual Art Basel art fair, less than 50 miles away. NFTs acquired fame just when artists started making big cash, Schachter saw a greater possibility to expand his audience beyond the narrow-minded art world.Several standalone artworks complemented Schachters larger projects across Slow Food, like “NFT Gimmicks,” a two-part piece including a great art print that immortalized a snide tweet Schacter made in reply to Dot Pigeons April announcement that the artist was giving up NFTs due to rampant speculation– together with the actual balaclava Schachter is seen using in the post.
