Burn 2 is coming! YAY!

Haven't posted anything here in a long while. Well, too many happenings inworld have kept me busy. But the ones following my art have probably seen my latest exhibitions.
For instance at my Main Gallery or maybe at the all new location of SLACC or Tiatopia  (which are both on the SL-Destination Guide now) or my small shows at Park Galleries or Gualdo.

New RL-Pictures

I have decided to also show a couple of my rl-picture sets. I will talk about these later on. Just this much: A small selection of pictures from the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai and Molokai can presently (Sept./Oct.) be seen at the A.R.T. Gallery at New Boston. Please pay the show a little visit as with Autopilotpaddy Poopy and Mary Rosebud two other great artistshave their work on display.

And now off to BURN2

Now...not trying to be overly excited...but then I am. The new Burn 2 Festival is approaching and the Aeonia Arts Group is part of it!
As regulations go, I cannot and will not tell you much about it. Just this little bit: Aeonia Arts Group has won a Theme Camp and aditionally has 5 plots under it's control. So we are going big. All six plots will be running within the same theme which we have developed over the past weeks. On the left side you can see a picture of Ally Aeon and me exploring the (still empty) plots that we got.
BURN 2 is going to be a great experience for all of us, as we have never pulled off something this big as a group - not even with our haiti-fundraiser at the start of the year.
So definitely mark October 16 through 25 in your calendars and go to http://www.burn2.org/ for more information.
In the mean time visit us at Aeonia where there is always plenty of great art to be seen.
BTW: Aeonia Artist Group besides me and Ally is: Penelope Parx, Pete Jiminy, Nik Gandt, Miki Bizet, lala Lightfoot, Visceral Dreamscape plus a growing number of Guest Artists that pay us a visit and work with us.

Preparing my Exhibition

If I look at the date of my last entry, I can see how time flies again. I consider this a good thing, though. It shows, that I have been busy creating new art pieces. Bringing a few exiting new ideas to life. My last project turned out nicely, in my opinion at least. So I decided to dress up my gallery to present them to a wider audience. I am now quite close to opening this new exhibit. A few notecards are to be written, a few little things adjusted and tweaked. I hope my new stages called "Weathered Gods" will make the same strong impression on my visitors as they did on me.

Pink Floyd's The Wall @ CARP

I have already talked about CARP in an earlier entry here. And it was pretty clear that it wouldn't be my last visit to this fantastic place.
The group has staged many great performances already, as I have heard. There's been alot of talk about the reenactment of the Fritz Lang movie 'Metropolis'. And lately the buzz was on their version of Pink Floyd's infamous flick 'The Wall'. This friday i finally made it to their sim (after a few tries where it always said, the sim was already full!). And boy was I in for a show! It's a perfect mix of avatar-acting, prim-loading, particle-spreading and music. Everything just perfectly timed to the millisecond. There was even a whole airplane crashing into the sim. If anyone is stretching the possibilities of Second Life to its utmost limits, it's the people at CARP. Even if you are not a fan of Pink Floyd (which I can hardly believe) - 'The Wall V3' is a definite must-see.
If you haven't seen this mindblowing show at CARP, definitely save a friday for it. Usually runs at 2pm slt. But check in early, cause the sim is always full!

I admit, I still haven't seen the movie 'Avatar'. And I know that I really have to go see it. Especially after I have visited my good friend Bella Orsini's unbelievably beautiful sim called Pandora Moon. She bulit it together with some talented builders to be a safehaven for the Nav'i - a place where the blue people wouldn't be hunted down and their magnificent flora and fauna wouldn't be exploited. It's just an amazing example of what builders in Second Life can do. It's not only colorful and diverse, it has it's little fun aspects, too. Like those seeds following you around - or the plants that hide in the ground onve touched. It's peaceful, it's meditative, not only for blue avatars. Check it out and show the hostess some linden love to help her keep up this wonderful place: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pandora%20Moon/195/94/35
