“The renovation and refurbishment of the Airship Limoncello is complete!
Fenella inspected the finished job on Tuesday and asked for a couple of minor adjustments, which our contractor, Leon, took care of. We took delivery yesterday.
It’s looking good. Leon has managed to get the Land Impact down to 226, which is 21 better than his previous estimate and hundreds better than the original build. She’s still a heavy object but is 124 meters long so there are limits to what can be achieved. Every prim saved is another artwork that can be exhibited, so we are delighted. We also love the redesigned control gondola and the new staircases.
We worked like crazy into the early hours of this morning to re-hang all the art. We need to update the catalogue to reflect the re-arrangements we have made – and some work is necessary to correct the build, so step carefully in places where the floors are incomplete – but essentially it’s ready for visitors.
We plan to have a re-launch party to match the original back in 2007 where the whole Limoncello story began! Watch this space for details. If you would like an invitation to the party, be sure to visit the gallery and subscribe to our mailing list.
“When I asked Diconay beginning of April if she and Good Cross were able and willing to exhibit in May (instead of later in the year as we initially agreed), to fill the slot which had suddenly become available, I was so happy she said yes! However, Good Cross, Diconay’s SL partner was too busy RL, so Dico took it upon her to do the exhibition alone …
AND what a wonderful display it has become of sensual, high quality works in monochrome and color with a theme that will appeal to many:. tattoos in SL.
I sincerely hope Dico and Good Cross will return to Nitroglobus in the future with a shared exhibition; giving us something to look forward to.” – Dido Petra Haas – Curator – Nitroglobus Roof Gallery
About “White Canvas”
“Tattoos are jewelry for the skin. People get them for many reasons: for attention, self-expression, artistic freedom, rebellion, a visual display of a personal narrative, reminders of spiritual/cultural traditions, sexual motivation, addiction, identification with a group or even drunken impulsiveness. Our current society craves individuality and self expression. And now many people wear their artistic expression. Tattoos are especially interesting in the virtual world because of its lack of permanence on a virtual mesh body. But someone talented in the digital arts can really make it look surreal and beautiful. To me tattoos represent creativity, sensuality and this is what I have hoped to achieve in this study. This exhibit is a study of second life tattoos and my interpretation of the work of some tattoo artists in SL.
This is the reason I call this exhibit a White Canvas, representing the bare skin on which will be imprinted memories, emotions and art.
Today in the Featured News a new interesting post for musicians and singers appeared. If you are a musician or a singer you might find it crucial to apply to be promoted by Second Life in the Music Mondays column. The Music Monday is a section fully dedicated to music and talented people who perform in Second Life. So, if you are a musician/singer I suggest for sure to apply here.
