Funfair in the skies

ANGEL GATE - The mission non profit Angel Gate arts community is dedicated to is 50% arts for enjoyment, and 50% to art therapy, inner exploration and personal growth. Owner SophiaJane Alcott and her curator Bau Ur work hard to develop the sim to be a place for ever new creations, enjoyment, sharing and development.

Bau Ur is a botanist and artist in Real Life, sharing a studio and gallery with members of his art cooperative group, and an arts and science fan in SL, has organized the new exhibition that unites famous SL artists with newcomers on many sky platforms, which almost allow to walk the whole exhibition. What an adventure to visit all the different parts of it, from the ground main gallery, up through many different themes, some hidden corners, immersive wonders, interactive adventures and peaceful places to rest and chill.

The goal of "Radiance" is to show the special power of darkness, light, and color in SL art. And it truly is a treasure trove of virtual creativity, allowing the visitor to discover ever new examples of enchanting prim magic behind every corner he turns.

Immersive artist Raisin Runo about his work and black mysteriously moving  piece "Discombobulation IIB" http://slurl.com/secondlife/AngelGate/106/88/279  gives the visitor a nook of restful darkness.

“The sculpture represents the culmination of a long period of experimenting with tortured prims, textures, and movement ot produce aesthetic effects” he said. “In RL I paint and make sculptures out of mild steel.  In-world, I've distilled my interests into the process of making sculptures like the one in the show and elsewhere.” And indeed his darkness is relaxing, when choosing to sit down and watch the black sculpture interlace its wings, tools and circles.

Walking further through roofless museum corridors in the skies leads to the fantasy garden “Super Bowl” http://slurl.com/secondlife/AngelGate/153/39/280 , a solo creation by visual artist Dozzydolly Biziou, very well known

Nice article Music, just a minor thing though. The "she" and "her" should be he and him. I think I'll go have a coffee now and get over my gender misalignment trauma. :P
