X-Spot Gallery, Wing 02b

We continue from X-Spot Gallery, Wing 02a with an inworld snapshot of the second of 3 notecards (and accompanying Jeogeot map) describing the exhibit. Again I’ll let the notecard do most of the talking, and just give supplemental photos and descriptions here.

A wall containing mostly Chilbo related objects, including Grassland II (etched art by Kristine Kristan, present Chilbo mayor still, I believe) and a recently created town map. Along with these we have a poster advertising an art exhibit of another defunct Jeogeot Gallery, The Red Leaf, which use to exist next to the 4 sim Hanja infohub area at the heart of the continent.

More Chilbo related art, or, left to right, “gallery surface1” by Janis Shamen, “Winter Berries” by Corcosman Voom, and a Chilbo photo by Melodie Darwin… yes, she’s definitely taken pictures from all over this largest of Second Life continents. Also notice the very similar effect of foreground red plants in the Voom and Darwin works here.

Then looking directly up at the centerpoint of the exhibit gives you this view of “NO HEAD FLEXI FISH” from the Tubular Gallery southwest of Chilbo, a kinetic sculpture designed by elros Tuominen.

Also mentioned on Notecard 2 of this “Jeogeot through Art and Word” is the DKArt gallery run by Dave Koi. His 2 works in the exhibit are the red scupture “aim high”. along with “Babelstorm”, filled with blue cubes adorned with letters of the alphabet.

Notecard 3 of 3.

A Parktown photo by Darwin. I consider Parktown (on the west side of the Hanja infohub mentioned above) a type of twin or counterpart to Chilbo. It’s a shame they couldn’t team up in some way to generate a greater whole, perhaps initiating some kind of overall Jeogeot, um, unification. Not exactly the word I’m looking for, but teaming up to step everything up a notch, Jeogeot-style. Um.

Two similarly named works but from different Jeogeot locations: to the right, “Phoenix” by Kylie Sabra, and to the left, “Tuscon, Arizona” by Samara Barzane of Park Galleries, yet another Jeogeot art establishment that does not exist any more. To be honest, I can’t remember the story behind “Phoenix” — I promise to check that out asap; it’s not mentioned in the notecard I don’t believe.

More twinning: 2 unusual galleries from the same sim of Cheosan, although no relationship between the two that I know of. To the left we have “The Gallery Shaped Like a Woman” masterminded by Earl Dinkins. To the right is the plainly named Cheosan Building, which is not plain atall within or without.

Now 2 actual works by Dinkins: “205” (left) and “1105 quatrains pillar” (right).

2 Melodie Darwin photographs come next as we head up to the end of the exhibit (“Lordshore Bridge” and “Island Light”).

An early Second Life map found buried beneath a mysterious farmhouse in Eunhuang as described in this Baker Blinker Blog post.

To end: “Life” by Melodie Darwin…

… and a book called “Expedition 1: A Trip to the Southern Island” by famed Second Life explorer and conservationist Salazar Jack.
