ARTIST Daniel Martin (1982) is an artist based in Leiden, The Netherlands, whose work has been shown in venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art of Queretaro, Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, Booth Gallery in New York, and Beers Gallery in London. He co-founded Arthouse, an artist initiative that runs two residencies in the Netherlands and Mexico. In 2019, he also helped launch the 1606 project, which builds cross-cultural connections between artists through collaborations with PaintGuide, the University of Leiden, and other local partners.

WORK One and Three NFTs is a conceptual project that explores how we define the value and identity of digital art in the NFT era. Inspired by Joseph Kosuth’s 1965 work One and Three Chairs, the project presents three versions of a single artwork, as a still image, a video, and a 3D model. Just as Kosuth questioned which version of a chair best represents the real object, this project invites collectors to decide which digital form holds the most artistic weight.

Through an open bidding process, the artwork becomes a dialogue about authorship, representation, and the evolving nature of what art is, especially when it’s distributed via blockchain. By fragmenting and decentralizing the artwork, One and Three NFTs challenges viewers to redefine artistic essence in a digital, tokenized world.

COLLECTION With his exploration of value in the digital realm, playing with physical things becoming virtual and vice versa,, the work of Daniel would be a great addition to the Copernicus Collection.
