Sunday the 27th of April at 1pm second life time, a collaborative Second Life work, The Russian Avante- Garde, opens in LEA8. The virtual world exhibition is featured on four interactive viewing stations within the Museum and was created by Alpha Auer (Turkey), Bryn Oh (Canada), Caer Balogh (USA), Eupalinos Ugajin (France), Jo Ellsmere (USA), Nessuno Myoo (Italy) and Soror Nishi (UK). This is all part of a bigger RL exhibit held in the main exhibition hall of Moscow’s Manege Museum. Tomorrow the SL exhibit is opening and will be streamed live and included in the RL exhibit thanks to Peter Greenaway (UK) and Saskia Boddeke/Rose Borchovski (Holland) and supported by the British Council.
The whole area is very interesting and I posted many pictures a short time ago on this blog if you care to scroll back, but at this time I will focus on the Coppelian bots by Jo Ellsmere, and made a little video recording of their movements. I am quite mesmerized by them. But go see the immersive exhibit before watching this video, as the exhibit is so impressive life-size and in person, well, virtual person : ) Enjoy!

Little Red Riding Hood-The Other Side of the Story-Opened Today 2-17-13
Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Companion/128/128/22
(Cherry and Analy)
Cherry Manga (dressed as Little Red) and Analy Piers (Snow White with a following of dwarfs) led tours today starting at 12 SLT through their exhibit opening at The Companion. Suggested windlight was Tor Sci Fi Bridge Oper 1 which was just amazing (Also try A-3AM as it's very different but clearer and you can see Soror's trees in better color) WOW! We, the party of tourist through this exhibit, were amazed at the ebbing and flowing glowing colorful, yet dark, world around us. And yes, it is a VERY adult and graphic version of the old 1790 Brothers Grimm "Little Red Riding Hood" story. The bottom level is by Cherry and Analy with some landscaping by Soror Nishi, and there is a top section by Alpha Auer and her alt Alpho Fullstop. At the top level there is a free cool unique avatar to be had from a gift ball thingy. Alpha credits much of her wolf head features to Leben Schnabel.
Then toward the end of our visit the person I assumed to be hostess, Mimesis Monday, (Proverbium) let me know she is my old friend Frigg Ragu or Norwegian, Heidi Dahlsveen RL. She actually owns the land, The Companion, on which this exhibit is held and is a RL/SL artist and story teller in her own right. She advised me she changed to Mimesis as some people misunderstood her prior name, so she is most often Mimesis now. I've heard she may be doing some storytelling at The Companion.
Anyway.. the wolf face can be seen along the way.. in trees and all over. Little Red meets the wolf and they hit it off dance and get it on, in essence she lost her innocence, is victimized by the beast, but later in a pouring rain of red blood, the wolf gets it in the end. (The knife Little Red is weilding may be hard to see in this picture, but there she is getting revenge)The scenes are pretty graphic. The upper level depicts a group of wolves looking on as their main wolf is slowly spinning pinned or stabbed before them. It was a bit confusing at first.. nothing at all like the story I used to know. I took a lot of photos and went to Alpha's site for more information about the storyline here: http://www.alphaauer.com/?p=3911
A lot of the regular art goers were there including: Yesikita Coppola, Hypatia Pickens, Mystchavos Gryn, Alpha Auer, Alpho Fullstop, Jewel Appletor, TYLER, The Secretful Girl, Simotron Aquila, Cica Ghost, Kelty, Voyot, Rhojen, Suki, Yann Minh, Bear Silvershade, Sprite, Luc Fiercaster, leMelonRouge, June Angerona, Ziki Questi, Cat shilova, Namor Xue, Derry McMahon, Gem Priez, Coxi WuWai Chun, ChimKami, duna Gant, Cherry Manga, Harbor Galaxy, Anley Piers, SaveMe Oh, Kenzie, Betty Tureaud, Dividni Shostakovich, Desdemona, Tim Deschanel, Burlybri Tigerpaw, Babydoll Tracy Riederer, and more dropping in all the while I was there for the opening. Be sure to check it out and I heard it will be open through mid April.

Split Screen October "Boogaloo" Exhibit by Soror Nishi and Opening Party October 2nd
Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beleza/74/9/22 or direct link here: SplitScreenHere.
The Split Screen artist of the month is Soror Nishi who presents "Boogaloo" which is a magical garden of wonderfully colored and shaped trees and plants, "Scotti the Dragon", bean forest, and campfire with mushroom seating all brought to life in the special colorful, magic way that only Soror does. Dim the lights, enjoy the sounds and explore the swamp and forest area. The opening party will be held at 2pm SLT Sunday October 2nd. The sim usually fills fast so come early to enjoy dancing with dj Isabelle Mavendorf, or try to bump in later during the event. It's always a lot of fun at Split Screen.
(Kara with Exhibit curator, Dividni Shostakovich)
Soror's artist staement for the exhibit reads, ""The extensive attempts some make to populate this new world with "realistic" copies of the Old World show a colonial tendency to ignore the native culture and superimpose a pre-formed visual style on this new medium. This may be due to a fear of the new, or simply a lack of courage, hopefully Time will eradicate this anachronistic tendency."
