Dadara's artistic development is a fascinating journey, originating in Amsterdam's house culture in the early nineties. Flyers, record covers, and crying baby speakers marked the start of an impressive career as a designer, cartoonist, and painter. After the turn of the century, Dadara focused more and more on extravagant installations and performances and was also the first ever international artist to build a big project at Burning Man in the USA. The last couple of years he has again concentrated more on his drawing and painting work, in addition to various guerrilla art actions around the world, such as covering the iconic 'I Amsterdam' sign last year with huge banners and fences as a comment on gentrification.

Daniel Rozenberg, known as Dadara in his daily life, rose to prominence in the early '90s with his flyer designs for raves and is famous for his numerous installations at the Burning Man Event. His first project, 'Fools Ark,' in 2002 marked the beginning of a long series. For over 30 years, he has been creating work that is both critical and playful. Dadara observes, looks ahead, investigates, reflects, and creates. In "Here for the Art," the book presented during the opening, he succinctly summarizes his approach: "My two favorite media are acrylic paint and mindfuck.

Suppose you can choose between a physical work of acrylic on linen and its NFT? What do you choose then? Dadara finds out through his CryptoGreyman Project: he recycled his iconic Greyman figure and painted a pixelated version of it, which he then also created as NFT.
