"Today I discovered a dusty cassette tape lost and forgotten in the depths of a cupboard, simply labelled 'TRIP WALES 1988'. The contents of that tape have not been heard for over twenty years, probably for very good reason."
Arahan
"In episode 19 I discuss my picks for the Brooklyn is Watching Top Five."
Amy
"For this week's Arthole Radio show I wanted to mention the work of a couple of photographers I'm digging lately."

The festival began in SL with open nominations in June, and in early August a celebrity judge panel will select the top five artworks. Judges include SL greats Amy Wilson, Annabeth Robinson, Stacey Fox, and SL AM Radio and Bettina Tizzy.

Season 3 July 18th full details
Arthole Season 3 - July 18th 2009
The gallery features new installations from Arahan Claveau and Nebulosus Severine and guest artist Penumbra Carter.
LEVEL 2 - The Unkempt Hair of the Dead by Penumbra Carter
Penumbra’s work has been displayed at several locations in Second Life; most notably with many highly regarded pieces shown at the Brooklyn is Watching project and the Aequitas group exhibition. This intriguingly titled new piece for Arthole Penumbra explains as “my interpretation of riding into the future with the past.”
Penumbra is also a prolific machinima maker whose films can be seen on YouTube. In the real-world she is an artist and painter based in a mysterious Midwestern American town.
LEVEL 1 EAST WING – Empire by Arahan Claveau
The central component of this multimedia experience is a machinima Arahan started filming back in 2006; a series of one minute avatar portraits, inspired in part by Andy Warhol’s so-called “screen tests.” During this long delay Arahan has been considering how best to present the portraits, and he has created a space that incorporates photography and sound montage to compliment the thirty minute film. A homage to Warhol’s groundbreaking Exploding Plastic Inevitable events and the Factory Superstars, and a commentary on the impact of technology and the cult of personality.
LEVEL 1 WEST WING – Autosarcophagy by Nebulosus Severine
Autosarcophagy is a reworked version of an installation previously only seen very briefly at Brooklyn is Watching. This new work continues Nebulosus’s obsessive exploration of Bunnyken, a compelling character that has become inextricably linked with her oeuvre. This new incarnation is a revealing insight into the artist’s alter-ego.

Arthole will soon be saying goodbye to our current guest artist Dekka Raymaker when Penumbra Carter takes over on July 18th, his Church of Whoami has proved to be very popular with visitors and we are proud to have hosted his work.
Dekka has quickly become one of Second Life's most exciting artists, his work has become increasingly more complex and impressive and lately he has been very prolific, producing amazing work at various locations. He is currently exhibiting at Arthole (until 11th July), Aequitas, Soup and now a brand new show at Odyssey the opening of which I visited yesterday.
It's a very ambitious installation, spanning four floors and full of all the detail, social commentary and auto-biographical meaning Dekka has become synonymous with. This is a deeply compelling work and is essential to experience first-hand. Here's some screenshots -
