Wanderlust Art Truck 2018 has been invited for a summer residency at Placebo Holdings in Jormungandr, Jeogeot. 

The Truck was very active in 2017, involving travel, parties and documentation. There are about 14 videos on my vimeo channel, including some travelling films. This year, Second Life is very different, as indeed Real Life is.

It brought a smile to my face when Seraphim Placebo invited us to set up the Truck once again. A call for art donations was sent out.

My colleague, Klaus Bereznyak, and I obtained the use of a crane to life the truck and the container packed with art into the lovely park setting.

There are interesting pieces that were donated, plus some pieces from our private collections. There’s no theme, in keeping with the spirit of Art Truck; it’s about creativity, fun and community.

A soft opening was held on Sunday, July 15. Seraphim wasn’t unable to attend; Tee and s4nura, two Gynoids, represented her and greeted visitors.

Art by Elle Thorkveld and Wheedle.

From left to right, a 3D piece I created; propped up against the Truck door is art by Klaus. Shown inside the container: art by Veyot, serra Qendra and Beatrix.

Upper left corner is a 2D piece by Amy Inawe; the crystal lamp is by Isadora Alaya. Against the hedge, art by Nino Vichan.

By Lil Mint.

The public is welcome to wander the grounds beyond the Art Truck area.

When you wander out and across the road, you’ll find PlaceboLand, a wonderful space to explore.  And down the road is New Placebo Gallery, with photos by Seraphim focused on Gynoids.

Above is a view in the Fantasy Garden.

I’ve just learned that Seraphim Placebo is also hosting a portrait photograph competition. The portraits must be taken in one of three areas. All entries will be hung on the wall in the “old garden” and the winners will be hung in her gallery.  First prize – L$ 2000; Second prize L$ 1000, Third prize L$ 500.

There are teleporters and big pink arrows to aid you in finding your way around after wandering from the Art Truck landing area, where the contest poster with instructions is located.

I will link to Seri’s blog post about the contest when it is available.

Seraphim Placebo, curator

Recently I returned to one of my favorite galleries in Second Life, the Placebo Gallery in Jormundgandr. The curator was on the premises, having just acquired two more pieces.

The gallery has always held an excellently curated personal collection of art for as long as I’ve known of it. Located close to Circuit La Corse, it has been expanded and updated during the last six months or so.

To the right of the landing, in an enclosed courtyard, are the welcoming home and gardens of the curator. There are many amenities which are also a wonderful collection of pixel creativity. Digital pieces by the human behind the avatar are displayed in this area.

The great eye for design is evident everywhere. I wanted to linger even longer but also intended to do this blog post in a timely manner.

More art is displayed inside the home along with quirky, wonderful objects.

In the first display room of the gallery is a photographic exhibition by ReadMeri.  Her photographs, usually seen online, look great on gallery walls.

I kept meaning to count the number of floors, maybe seven, but kept getting distracted.

I like there to be plenty of seating in galleries, especially one this huge, for when my avatar has to park for a few minutes.

It’s interesting how the floors and rooms are configured. There are works from years past plus very recent pieces I’ve seen around our world.  And I always like to see an avatar supporting the arts in SL and taking an interest in what others do.

For an interesting and well-documented history of the gallery, see this post.

I looked out one of the windows on an upper floor and could see one of the huge buildings nearby.  In years past, after visiting the gallery I would hop on a pod and tour the area, looking at changes. It has been more populated of late and seems to attract vampire clans although I haven’t had time to explore more closely.

And up on the rooftop—more stuff to look at.

Private Art Collection at Placebo Gallery

A private art collection is currently on display at the Placebo Gallery. It’s curated by Seraphim Placebo and is a huge, five floors of art.

Not at all overwhelming, it’s an exquisite collection. Some of the artists are still in Second Life; much of the collection is of ephemera. Creator names I recognize are CapCat Ragu, Yelena Istmal, (I have a growing collection of Noctis items), Alia Baroque, Troy Vogel, Cat Boccaccio, and Fuschia Nightfire. There’s also original art by Chris Attwell, Seri’s “driver”.

There are five floors. Most of the fifth floor is 3D and light pieces. On the third floor, in back, there are steps leading back down to the second floor which had been partitioned off. There’s seating if you want to hang out.

The adorable, little blue alien is still floating around and some cute, grass-mowing sheep have been added. The stairs to go to the second floor are located all the way in back.
