The Orders (Entered Apprentice)

Widely known for his cutting-edge use of digital imaging technologies and the ways in which they can be deployed to recontextualize visual culture, Marco Brambilla’s The Orders brings the iconography of a secret order to the blockchain. The Orders explores the captivating iconography of the Masonic tradition and does so by way of the three levels of initiation: Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason. Entered Apprentice Objects will be available in an open edition offered for a 24 hour sale window. Fellow Craft Objects are limited to 100 and the Master Mason to 10. Each arrangement in each degree becomes a study in the meanings of the objects as they are solely displayed, set into conversation with each other and then finally, placed into the realm of time (and thus dissolution and death). This collection represents the Entered Apprentice works.
