One of the current exhibits I like a lot is Twelve by One by Bump Squeegee.
“Red Dirt Studios, in the heart of the Virtual Chelsea Hotel Gallery Row, is now featuring “12×1”; new works from Bump Squeegee. “Twelve by One” is part of an ongoing series dealing with love, loss, hope, despair and the feeling that there is something or someone out there that will love you to death or eat you alive.”

Early last week I viewed several current gallery exhibits which I’m going to share the landmarks to so you can enjoy them as well. At Gallery 23 at Virtual Chelsea Hotel six artists are showing work through August. On the left in the photo above is shown work by Pepper Chaffe. On the right are Decayed Maps by Klaus. Other exhibitors are Jim Garand, Gjo Bing, Pi and John B.
At La Maison d’Aneli in Virtual Holland through August are works by Kicca Igaly, Red Bikcin, Vonniethefox, Terra Merhyem and Rage Darkstone. The photo above shows art by Vonniethefox with a glimpse of Kicca Igaly’s in the background to the right.
The colorful pieces by Vonniethefox are animated and I find them delightful.
‘Absences’, a photo exhibit by Melusina Parkin is at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery. The sculptures are by Nitro Fireguard.
You can pick up an intro notecard written by Melusina which begins in part: “Absence is a negative concept: it means that something should be there and it doesn’t. So, when we look at an empty place – a room, a seashore, a road or even a chair – we can’t avoid thinking of something or somebody who has been or will be there. That’s even more true when a world, including nature and landscape, is entirely made by humans, like Second Life does.”
At the AiR Gallery of InterstellART is Pieces of a Whole by Wintergeist. There are colorful pieces exhibiting too, not shown in my photo above.
Last but not least in my mind, are six of my works (plus blackboard texture) at Montara Bridge Works Gallery. Expressing different moods and strategies of my First and Second Lives during this summer, the exhibit is titled ‘Subtle Maneuvers’ inspired by a line in a letter Franz Kafka wrote in 1912: “Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wiggle through by subtle maneuvers.”

Gallery 23 at the Virtual Chelsea Hotel is having a 6th anniversary exhibit. Titled Bohemian Art, the exhibit is running May/June.
There are virtual and real life photos which are available for purchase. The six artists featured are IanLee Patton, Beatrice Cerise, Gypsy Fairfield, Cybele Moon, Thea Dee and Curious Foo. 
The gallery is very close to the hotel where rooms are available. There are other art spaces along both sides of the street.
From the land description: “This is the Official virtual reproduction of the RL one Bringing the infamous mecca of bohemia, the Chelsea Hotel to Second Life. Chelsea.”
