IMMEMORIAL NFT
Rizman Putra x Art Outreach Singapore
Art Outreach is proud to present our first-ever NFT launch in collaboration with Rizman Putra, to commemorate his groundbreaking participatory exhibition IMMEMORIAL, which transformed our office space during the 10th edition of Singapore Art Week in January 2022.
Over 24 days, IMMEMORIAL welcomed more than 3,800 people to participate in its making. It transported audiences to a fantastic neon forest of floor-to-wall drawings, accompanied by a monochrome room that explored the magic of co-creation. Here, Rizman invited visitors to fill in the walls with colours of their own, adding to an evolving work of art with others around them.
Having been created for and by the community, IMMEMORIAL now lives on in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), giving you the chance to collect a piece of this special work, and to own it in perpetuity.
Released to commemorate Art Outreach's 20th anniversary, this NFT launch comprises 1,112 completely unique NFTs, each featuring a 42 x 42 cm "slice" of IMMEMORIAL's walls and floors, photographed in high-resolution. To encourage more individuals to become stakeholders of local art, we are offering 495 NFTs from the community room that was coloured in by the visitors of the exhibition for free. 593 NFTs of the fantastical neon forest painted by Rizman are available at 0.05 ETH each, while 24 rare NFTs of the trees in the forest are available at 0.1ETH each, accompanied by a hand-signed, limited-edition print of the installation.

Purchasing an NFT not only allows you to collect a piece of IMMEMORIAL, the proceeds from your purchase will also be shared between the artist Rizman Putra and Art Outreach, with royalties from secondary sales continuing to support the work we do in championing artists, in perpetuity.
As a non-profit arts intermediary, Art Outreach relies on funding from the government and fundraising ventures such as this one. Purchasing an NFT would aid us greatly in our fundraising efforts, allowing us to enable emerging practitioners in the pursuit of their craft and to finance our community-based and educational programmes.

IMMEMORIAL is not Rizman’s first collaboration with Art Outreach; he was also featured in our second edition of Art Encounters, transforming our iconic shipping containers on the lawn of the Malay Heritage Centre into a neon painting installation titled From Gelam to Glam.
Artist Interview
Hear Rizman share his thoughts on IMMEMORIAL
Over 3,800 visitors engaged with the work over 24 days, creating a truly unique piece that sets a record for one of the largest number of NFT creators.
To create the NFTs, all 181 square metres of IMMEMORIAL's walls and floors were photographed in over 800 sections, then stitched together, before being sliced into high-resolution grids. Each NFT now corresponds to a 42 x 42 cm of the original artwork.
