Opening at ART Planet 2010

Opening up on the 12th of November is an installation by Betty Tureaud at ART Planet 2010. A reception and opening party is set to begin at 1 pm SLT. The exhibit is being sponsored by Danish Visions. If you've not had a chance to see the work of this talented artist now is a good time to do so. I had an opportunity to view a recent build of hers, "Nine Steps to Heaven." Check out the great machinima by Iono Allen.

"Feels Like Fall" a Photographic Exhibition Opens on 11-November

On Thursday the 11th of November, Texanna Schumann's "Feels Like Fall" photography exhibition opens at Ragamuffin Kips' Gallery in Avalon Town. The exhibit kicks off with a reception that begins at 7 pm SLT. The event is being hosted by Tricia Aferdita. Ms Schumann's photo's on display are something new for her, she presents a series of pumpkins and gourds in which she attempts to emphasize "colors and forms". The style she tells me was inspired by Edward Weston's photography of vegetables.


I've seen Texanna's work several times over the last few years and have enjoyed her collection of prairie flowers and garden scenes. She has a good eye for capturing the colors of her subjects and her choice of content is strong. I did stop by before the opening of this exhibit at her invitation and enjoyed viewing the pictures. Her subjects are indeed colorful and one does get a strong feel of fall in viewing them.

EXPLORE IT! Second Life Goes To School!

An off-line message arrived from good friend Persia Bravin telling me of an exciting event happening on Saturday, November 6th. Excerpts from the press release which she had included in an invitation passed along via an inventory offer follows:

The Second Life official launch of the EXPLORE IT! project funded by the California SB 70 Grant, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Initiative on Improving and Strengthening Career Technical Education.

Inworldz Art Scene

First mesh makes its appearance in Inworldz. Artistide Despres created a stunning piece of art using mesh. We're standing nearby viewing it with Jeri Rajha who brought over Elenia Llewellyn the founder of Inworldz for her to view. The piece is of a towering woman, and uses an incredible number of prims in its construction. Congrats! Arti and to Jeri for having the foresight to set up Alexanderia's Kingdom.
