Not only that, but M.I.A. also revealed that the "NFT GARAGE DANCE" collection would be followed by another NFT sale of her 1996 work "KALA COYN."
"KALA COYN and the GARAGE DANCE series is a living, breathing, psycho-spectral canvas that crystalizes this moment in time for me," she said in a statement. "Visually, it's a mind fuck and embodies everything I've loved about the digital art arena. It's only now that the appropriate gallery for my work finally exists."
"GIFTY 1" will be up for auction via Foundation starting on Thursday, April 8 at 4 p.m. EST. Check out the collection ahead of time, here.
