ABOUT THE PROJECT
$Whale and Breezy started a long-term collaboration to provide a narrative to the $WHALE’s “The Vault”, one of the largest and most valuable collections of NFTs in the entire space through art curation.
Each month we highlight a specific creator or theme, providing rich visuals, high-profile artist interviews, gallery events, and more.
For the month of November 2021, the presented artist is GIANT SWAN.
CURATORIAL TEXT
This is the story of a kid who used to watch birds, of an artist who became a man, of a man who became an artist.
“There are approximately ten thousand species of birds on the planet and no single individual has seen them all.” ― Bernd Brunner
Giant Swan, a name that came from music and lives through movement, that breathes in the experience of art.
The keywords in the art of Giant Swan are movement and experience.
Movement, his essence, and his primordial creative force through which he gives life to shapes, characters, and new worlds inside the VR space.
And experience, whether it is connective, immersive, embracing, playful, or just a place where to exist.
The VR worlds that he creates for us to live and enjoy are that same scene where he shares his personal moments in relation to these spaces that he invents himself. Giant Swan’s art becomes a whole, an inclusive place where the relationship between the creator with the viewer and their personal connection with it is an essential part of the creation itself, its reason to exist.
Giant Swan’s art is personal, but it speaks the universal language and his most intimate act of creation and feelings simply becomes our most intimate experience.
His sculptures, which he creates in VR, don’t aim for perfection. On the contrary, his body movements generate that sparkle of imperfection that makes his art the most human and inclusive for the viewers, who feel comfortable and able to embrace their own imperfections.
With Giant Swan, art is not “exclusive” anymore. It is an act of sharing this collective condition we are all living together.
Welcome to THE INFINITE DANCE OF GIANT SWAN.
Curator’s note
And in my mind there will always be that little kid, shadowing bird watchers in the park and never stopping looking for as many as possible of almost ten thousand species of birds . Only now, he is able to fly with them.

This month, for the project BREEZY CURATES $WHALE, we decided to present one of the most creative and enchanting stories in crypto art, the art of one of the rarest pearls of the digital art space: Giant Swan.
The keywords in the art of Giant Swan are movement and experience.
Movement, his essence, and his primordial creative force through which he gives life to shapes, characters, and new worlds inside the VR space.
And experience, whether it is connective, immersive, embracing, playful, or just a place where to exist.
The VR worlds that he creates for us to live and enjoy are that same scene where he shares his personal moments in relation to these spaces that he invents himself. Giant Swan’s art becomes a whole, an inclusive place where the relationship between the creator with the viewer and their personal connection with it is an essential part of the creation itself, its reason to exist.
Giant Swan’s art is personal, but it speaks the universal language and his most intimate act of creation and feelings simply becomes our most intimate experience.
His sculptures, which he creates in VR, don’t aim for perfection. On the contrary, his body movements generate that sparkle of imperfection that makes his art the most human and inclusive for the viewers, who feel comfortable and able to embrace their own imperfections.
With Giant Swan, art is not “exclusive” anymore. It is an act of sharing this collective condition we are all living together.
We really look forward to experiencing together with all of you the magic that this artist is able to create for us, guiding his virtual brushes and colors through the most fascinating of the contemporary spaces: VR.
A retrospective of Giant Swan’s work, including the art pieces collected in The Vault, will be curated by Eleonora Brizi in the $Whale space on the platform Arium https://arium.xyz/spaces/whale-community at the end of November and Q&A with $Whale community will be organized throughout this whole month.
