About the Item

The Journey of an Urn by Davide Ronco Unique Piece Dimensions: D 15 x W 16 x H 24.5 cm. Materials: Ceramic (self-foraged clay). A collection of 40 urns made from self-dug high-fired clay, where each urn is connected to two NFTs. One represents the urn’s past as its natural material before becoming an object: clay. The other represents its future as the permanence and immateriality of the urn as a digital artwork in the blockchain. Through a series of urns created by an exact amount of clay collected in a specific location, I want to give the audience the choice to preserve (and therefore remember) the past, present, or future of each artwork. PAST: Metadata about the block of clay collected: weight, size, location, and 3D scan. (The NFT is a channel to sell the rights of the past of the artwork. The NFT represents a way to sell the data and not the artwork itself. The NFT is DATA ownership.) PRESENT: Fired earthenware urn, made from the respective clay block. A physical representation that can break and over time, get lost. (This stage represents conservation and ownership traditionally, owning the physical artwork.) FUTURE: 3D scan of the urn. The NFT represents the Immaterial and unsusceptible features of the artwork in the digital world. (The NFT represents its “immortality” and “indestructibility” through the digital world. The NFT is the artwork.) Once decided in which way to preserve the matter in one of its three forms, the other two must cease to exist. In the case of choosing the PRESENT, the two respective NFTs will never be minted. In the case of choosing the PAST or FUTURE, the NFT will be minted and subsequently sold to the buyer only at the moment that the respective physical urn will be destroyed in the exhibition space. The price will reflect the size of the urn according to its weight as a clay block: 1 g equals 1 DKK. The respective price in ETH will be the exact conversion from DKK at the moment of the transaction. Davide Ronco (IT) is a graduate of the Ceramic MA at the Royal Danish Academy and holds a postgraduate from Konstfack University: Research Lab Craft. He lives and works in Copenhagen. His artistic practice is rooted in extensive material research and a commitment to solid craftsmanship. Through his work, he challenges conventional tools and methodologies, using site-specific installations and temporary interventions to explore the dichotomy between the natural and the artificial. Among others, he utilizes locally sourced clay and challenges the limitations of the material by embracing its inherent cracks and imperfections, and rammed earth in a manner that accentuates its temporal and decaying nature, rather than attempting to shield it from the effects of weather conditions. His ongoing research centers on the concept of Ad Extremum, or “until the end; death,” (the human presence’s narrowness) as a reflection of the precarious existence of humankind. Through this lens, he examines themes of transience, fragility, and decay, and the opposition and discrepancies between humanity and nature. At present, he is working on a new research format based on simple principles and study cases. Sustainable Art Practices: Towards a Socio-Ecological Methodology within Site-Specific, Land and Installation Art. Whether with sculpture, furniture, or site-specific installations, his diverse work revolves around found local materials, vernacular and traditional artisanship, and construction methods, involving sustainable and up-cycling processes.
