ABOUT THE WORK In OONA’S latest artwork titled MOTHER OF, audiences have a full-frontal view of Madoona’s avatar giving birth to orchids from a futuristic hospital bed. Offering critical commentary on imagery, ownership of artwork and identity, MOTHER OF is a testament to unyielding independence and resilience of crypto artists.
“I never want to be provocative just for the sake of provocation,” said OONA, insisting that the mask she applies and the flowers she gives birth to in the video mean something. “They stand for hope. They stand for technology. They stand for OONA.”

OONA, the anonymous performance artist, is a mirror. Born from the rich history of feminist video and performance art, OONA's work centers on topics all of us know but often are too fearful to broach. She is a rising figure in the NFT space engaging in performances virtually on her Twitter feed and physically in the form of live auctions at museums like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and art fairs such as Art Basel Miami.

OONA's presence is commanding yet enticing. She exists behind her signature sunglasses and curtain face mask, obscuring any recognizable features that could distract you from her often bare breastplate (a wearable performance in itself) intended to pose a multitude of questions surrounding the financial value of both art and artist, especially in contrast to any who do not identify as white, cisgender men.

In conversation with Margaret Murphy, Head of Community, OONA discusses the blockchain as a medium for performance art, the equity (or inequity) of the new online art world, and existing as a female artist under the male gaze.

ABOUT THE WORK MOTHER OF by OONA is a satirical piece. OONA questions notions of identity, iconography, and ownership. By placing OONA’s face over the "iconic" video art, MOTHER OF CREATION, by Madonna and Beeple, whose artwork is this? What does it say about our industry that Madonna, one of the top selling female artists, has made very little contribution to the crypto art industry since?  MOTHER OF (BIDDERS EDITION) is a New York Times article spoof that reappropriates their language to describe OONA’s piece. 
The reserve for MOTHER OF (1 of 1) will be set at 0 XTZ to conceptually reinforce the ideas regarding ownership. All bidders will receive a MOTHER OF (BIDDERS EDITION). OONA will manage the distribution of MOTHER OF (BIDDERS EDITION).
