Aspects of Solitude

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gardenia%20Islands/128/128/2
This exhibit runs through June 16th, 2013. I have been so busy this weekend, but was able to make it to the Sunday opening party to see the lovely works, greet the artists and snap a few party pics.

Morgana Nagorski's press information in part states: ...

"A fabulous new exhibition, sponsored by LUMIPro, opens @ Palais Orleans Gallery Complex this weekend.  Amona Savira and Harbor Galaxy show us Aspects of Solitude.

The images are intelligent, thought provoking, sensitive and well . . . just gorgeous.

(I took this pic of Amona, Harbor, Kato, and Morgana after the opening event)
 

It is such a pleasure to host this exhibition by two such talented artists...

  (The opening events were this Saturday and Sunday@ Palais Orleans Gallery Complex)

The images are about all the lonely nights, waiting for nobody . . . in solitude.

And those early morning hours when sleep escapes us and the mind wanders, reviewing the decisions that define our waking life.

 

The artists' statement explaining the thoughts behind the show

”My face in the bathroom mirror

has white streaks down it.

I rinse the face and return to bed.

Tomorrow I am going to visit my mother. ”

(from The Glass Essay by Anna Carson)

Just that, to look in the bathroom mirror, seeing herself and only her, no one else there, from a sleepless night and a numb body. The hard light hits her face, head full of dreams and memories.

Solitude – the good and bad of it.

Of course there is a liberating feeling of being by herself, but now she was leaning towards the negative.

More like lived life, like feeling lonely either in the midst of a crowd or by choice.

All the lonely nights, waiting for nobody…in solitude."

 

Uberverse Simultaneous RL/SL Opening Show 3-8-13

Uberverse is a Second Life/Real Life crossover exhibition . . . being shown in both worlds simultaneously March  8th -30th 2013.

This looks like a very cool event with some talented artists that will be a RL /SL event, so I'm sure it will be fun to see who shows up and what they will be wearing as well as enjoying the show. The press release states:
 

"The show features artists Morgana Nagorski, Kato Salyut and Sledge Roffo.

Morgana has been working with the gallery owner for some time putting this show together.

The opening event is 9:00PM - midnight SLT on Friday 8 March @ b1 sky gallery, purpose built for the event.  ...RL link here:  http://www.ballaratart.com/index.php?pageID=1

The opening event will be streamed onto a big screen in the RL gallery . . . so dress in your most glamorous or most weird and wonderful and come and join us and strut your stuff so there is something imprtessive to be seen on that RL screen."

The Best of Second Life Magazine March 2013

This month March 2013 marks the month I was featured in the BOSL magazine. Writer Sonicity Fitzroy has been featuring SL machinimists for about a year now in the publication and this month I was honored to be featured as the Social Machinimist for her article.  So I must brag and show off here of course.  Everyone knows I'm not the greatest at this around or even in their league but I do a lot, have fun, often make them for others or to archive something, and include others a lot, so I'll take the article and rejoice in it.  Soni is an amazing writer both in SL for a variety of publications and is a published author RL with numerous publications on a variety of subjects, most notably in SL for her 2 books "Second Life Media and the Other Society", and also "Machinima: The Art and Practice" (http://www.amazon.com/Machinima-The-Practice-Virtual-Filmmaking/dp/0786461713/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1362706261&sr=8-3&keywords=machinima).  So she made me look good and Morgana Nagorski, artists, photographer, gallery owner (http://www.ballaratart.com/index.php?pageID=12  and http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gardenia%20Islands/128/128/2) took some great pics to go along with some clips from a few of my machinima for the article.  Please have a look starting at page 128 here: http://magazine.thebestofsl.com/issues/March-2013  This is such a well put together monthly SL magazine that I hope everyone is very familiar with it.  It can be easily read online at that site or via hard copies inworld.  If anyone would like a hard copy inworld just let me know and I will pass you one.  BOSL also has kiosks all over the grid to vend these free monthly publications.  They cover fashion, events, art, sims, well just about anything in SL that has public interest.  Check it out.. and now a few snips from the magazine here:

And then I located a pic of myself also in the society page collage (pic by Kato Salyut) which is pretty cool.. .. see if you can find me, yourself, or others you know (yeah that's KT down there in the rust colored gown by the N in News)
