Last week I attended the opening of a most entertaining exhibit at Art
India Gallery in Shekhawati which is curated by Quan Lavender. As I entered there
was a protest going on performed by Saveme OH that lasted about 15 minutes. I
guess it was fitting. 
Many of the famous artists of SL were in attendance
to view and vote for their favorite form of protest art. The participating
artists are: Betty Tureaud, CaraMia Quan, Corcosman Voom, Eupalinos Ugajin, Hugo
Krell, London Junkers, Noni Abeyante, Pol Jarvinen, Queen Bish, Riali
Sandalwood, Secret Rage, Silene Christen and Sisi Biederman. Prices will be given
in 3 categories: 3D art scripted, 3D art non scripted and 2D art. The winners
will be voted by public votings and a jury, consisting of art historian and art
blogger Rowan Derryth, artist and curator Ux Hax, and art blogger and
curator Quan Lavender. 
I was impressed with all the art and found several
favorites. Nomination of winners will be at November 23. Quan told me, ”I am glad that so many great entries are here. I think the
exhibition is really interesting.” When you visit you are allowed to vote
for as many of the exhibits as you like and you can pick up a notecard about the
artist. You may want to visit more than once to really absorb the meaning of
the pieces. I plan to return. Public voting closes November 18 so you will have plenty of time to enjoy. http://maps.secondlife.com/
