London Junkers wins 1st place in Art Contest!

As you may recall, London took part in the Art of Protest Contest with the art installation "Paper against Peace" and the Awards Ceremony took place yesterday in the Shekhawati sim.

 It started with a beautiful concert of Indian Classical Sitar and Tabla play by VK and Nik.

Some of the participating artists in this Contest included Betty Tureaud, CaraMia Quan, Corcosman Voom, Eupalinos Ugajin, Hugo Krell, Noni Abeyante, Pol Jarvinen, Queen Bish, Riali Sandalwood, Secret Rage, Silene Christen and Sisi Biedermann and London Junkers, many of them present. Both Quan Lavender, the organizer, and Veekay Navarathna, the owner of Art India and Medley Arts, did an amazing job both during the length of the exhibition (September-November) and at the Awards Ceremony! You can find a list of all the winners and photos of their artwork at Quan's Travelogues.

The 3D non scripted category had three entries, CaraMia Quan with "Stop Genmanipulation", Corsosman Voom with "No, Not Me" and London Junkers with "Paper against Peace". And the first prize went to... drum roll... LONDON JUNKERS!!! London went onto the stage to receive the award of 4000L and said "thanks so much. I must say it is an honour and I want to thank you guys for the prize. I also want to thank Lizzie and dedicate this to her!! She is my inspiration!!" Awww, that was sweet!

Already back at home, I (Lizzie) took a picture of London next to the award certificate for posterity! Congrats to the winner artist! :)

Project Guernica in the blogosphere

"Project Guernica" opened its doors to visitors a few days ago! Both London and I would like to thank everyone who attended the Opening for their support and words of praise. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces and a handful of new friends.

It was spectacular to see how visitors enjoyed the installation and found it impressive. The opinion was that this piece was a fit homage to Picasso's Guernica.

Project Guernica to open today Nov 13 at 2pm SLT!

After a lot of work and endless efforts, Project Guernica is opening Tuesday, November 13 at 2pm SLT at LEA6 under the LEA Full Sim Art Series.

The intention of re-creating this masterpiece in Second Life comes from the love for the original mural itself and what it represents. Painted in black and white, it depicts the horrors of war, unfortunately still as updated as it was back then.

After a lot of thought and experimenting with external 3d software, a decision was made; this installation would be built in prims, as an exercise of the possibilities that LEA has given us.

Featured in the Destination Guide, the LEA and UWA websites, this piece is a tribute to Picasso and his extraordinary work.

For a better viewing of this installation:

1. Use Mouselook.

London Junkers at the Art of Protest Contest

The challenge was to create an art installation on the theme "Protest". Many artists answered the call and the The Art of Protest Contest was set up.


This is a very interesting event curated by Quan Lavender and held in Second Life in the Art India Gallery where the pieces are carefully displayed. Great job.



 Some of the participants are Betty Tureaud, CaraMia Quan, Corcosman Voom, Eupalinos Ugajin, Hugo Krell, Noni Abeyante, Pol Jarvinen, Queen Bish, Riali Sandalwood, Secret Rage, Silene Christen and Sisi Biedermann and London Junkers.

London created the piece "Paper against Peace" (see above; detail below). In the description of his work, he writes a powerful message:

"In today's world, where money is everything for everyone, we cannot forget that even with our pockets full without peace, we are lost. LnL protests against the system for not understanding that . Millions of dollars are spent in armament when they should be put into the development of Peace, against hunger, against illness, against hate, against ignorance. We  protest for love, for freedom, for beauty, for education, for humanity....for dreams, and for a better future."

The contest prices will be attributed in 3 categories, 3D art scripted, 3D art non scripted and 2D art. The winners will be voted by public votings and by a jury, consisting of art historian and blogger  Rowan Derryth, artist and curator Ux Hax and art blogger and curator Quan Lavender. 

The votings close November 18 and the nomination of the winners will be November 23. The exhibition is open till November 25. So, drop by the Art India Gallery for a visit and do vote for your favourite art work!

The Cube Project, an initiative of the Linden Endowment for the Arts, includes the work of over 25 artists gathered by Bryn Oh. The idea is simple and very interesting, to create an art installation using only black and white cubes. The artists worked for 5 days only and what they came up with is quite fascinating.

London Junkers, LnL's co-owner, was invited to take part.
Have a look at his build!

A quick view from above!

It is with great enthusiasm that every now and then LnL Square receives a notecard saying that one of our creations has been blogged. This time it was Devin Vaughn who did an amazing job creating a very well structured post strongly based on carefully drafted visuals. The post is specifically about Group Gifts; Devin blogged LnL's Skully Scorpio Bike and mentioned the Belt with Bag and Set of Keys, also a group gift (at Mare Serenitatis, so if you haven't picked them up, run, because the store there will be closed soon). LnL was very impressed with Devin's fairly recent blog. It features a varied set of styles followed by clear and complete information about the creators, stores and locations. And while you read the posts, click play in the music videos selected. Great job. To visit Devin's blog Bishie Style SL, click --> here.

A new beginning for LnL Square!

Welcome to LnL Square! About a week ago, LnL opened the doors to the group members, to customers and hunters in our new location. After a wonderful time at Mare Serenitatis, LnL is back in Borgatti, where it settled after a short period of time in a small rented store.

The look changed from a Gothic feel to a Medieval castle. The store has four levels, two with outfits of the General and the Gothic Collections, one with the Kimonos Collection (small photo, left) and one with the Tshirt Collection (small photo, right). As you enter the store, to the right, there is the hunt information (ongoing and future hunts, hint giver and link to the LnL blog (Hunts label) where you can see all the hunt prizes.
