SLART Event on Teaching 2

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : May 15, 2007 10:40pm

On Wednesday, May 16, at 4:00 PM PDT/SLT, NMC’s Teaching 2 sim will be the site of yet another special event. An avatar known as “Art World” (aka Richard Minsky) is presenting live in New York and in Second Life on “SLART(TM) : Art in Second Life”:

Artist and entrepreneur Richard Minsky started a website and blog titled SLART (TM), a critical review and journal of art in Second Life. Now he is planning to issue SLART as a paper magazine, beginning with a summer 2007 issue. During his presentation at Location One, Minsky will be navigating in Second Life under his in-world identity to show us some of the variety of artists, art galleries, museums, artists’ studios and university galleries there. These locations can disappear as rapidly as they appear, when owners change their mind about what they are doing, or don’t pay the rent.

There will be a tour of SL Art sites, and the SL session will be braodcast to the live session in New York; and the live video from New York will also be broadcast into Second Life at NMC’s Teaching 2 (location url).
