I’m involved, via Haydn Shaugnessy<\/a> (my Irish gallery) in a funky new project, where he’s hired a ‘Real World’ architect to build an astonishingly beautiful gallery out at sea in Second Life<\/a>: Ten Cubed<\/a> (pictured). Via some of Haydn’s blogging<\/a> on the subject:<\/p>\n

About a year ago I decided to set up a real life gallery<\/a>. The reason was simply that I love media art but couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find galleries that specialise in it. Now I have a media-art gallery and on a day-to-day basis experience the fact that the audience for this is global rather than local. Media-art is beginning to find an audience in Ireland but its real audience is urban anywhere.<\/p>\n

I can connect to some of that audience through a website . But what I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do through a website is join people in appreciating the art; not when they could be anywhere from New York to Naples. Nor could many of the audience really appreciate the artwork: they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d simply be viewing a 2D image.<\/p>\n

With Ten Cubed I can do these things. I can stand with you and admire the work and together we can analyse and crit.<\/p>\n

What I can also do is make room to showcase art that my physical gallery could not exhibit – because of its size and because of the sheer impracticality of giving over all my space to one large work. In Ten Cubed I can show any amount of art and at any scale. I can also help promote and encourage artists working in a virtual medium.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have to say that Ten Cubed<\/a> really is a visceral space – “walking” around and viewing my work, it’s the most free and embodied I’ve ever felt in a Virtual World. And one of the more exciting aspects of the exhibition – which I’ll blog about later in the week – is a project I’m working on with Scott Kildall<\/a>, where we are making unique SL print editions: virtual, limited edition art, signed and numbered individually and by hand!<\/p>\n
