Great Online Exhibitions -- exercise 1

[Incognita Nom de Plume]

Online exhibitions are as varied, if not more so, as physical exhibitions. Find a 'good' online exhibition; post a short description, a brief explanation of what you think is worthwhile about it and a link to it.

This site is actually quite interesting. It has a collaboration of artists that include their folios where at one point two artists are against each other with one work and is voted by peers as to which one is more favourable, hence the site name "Art Face Off".

I didn't think this would of been classified as an online exhibition, but I thought I'd include this as the artworks are pretty interesting and DIGITAL (which is also related to our programs): Spiazzi

This is actually a really good eg -- this is work that was made via and through the network so seeing it online is an appropriate way to view. Plus which the competition element gives the works a continuity/curatorial context.

Artport is an online portal to net art and digital arts as well as an online gallery space for commissioned net art projects. It invites a new artist each month to attach links to their work. It also commissions artists to create original works for the site.

As well as hosting its own extensive collection of net art it also offers links to a wide range of interesting and varied new media online. Links to galleries, networks, museums, publications and festivals relating to net art and digital arts are all accessible from the site.

great resource

An online Exhibition of my favorite Digital Painter Linda Berkvist. She paints beautiful figures in a unique and stylistic way with a brief story and explanation behind it. Very well known artist around the cgtalk forums.

Worth while checking this site out because you will be blown away and it even has some very helpful tutorials that have helped me a lot. You can also buy prints of her work if you like something that much and you can email her too very easily and i have done so before.

Great exhibition, go there now!

The online exhibit I would like to show is more about ongoing participation between artists and illustrators of various capabilities and professions.

Every couple of days at www.conceptart.org a topic is created in the Community Activities section of the website, that gives artists the chance to create an original image from the topic, or given keywords. A week after the topic is created and people have submitted their images into the topic forum (eg. Topic: Strange Visual Spectrum) the images get voted on and viewers and other artists alike can comment in the voting thread (eg Topic: Strange Visual Spectrum Voting).

I find this way to exhibit art unique in that it gets artists from both the professional field and the hobbyists to display their related artworks and get good feedback from one another. It also brings out some very inspirational pieces of works.

Ben -- this is a good exhibition theme -- the site itself isn't exactly a 'great online exhibition' -- but is a good resource

[Incognita Nom de Plume]

Sorry -- her work appears to be produced with a print outcome in mind -- so good shop/promotional site but NOT a great on;line exhibition

[shiralee saul]

Oops sorry -- this was meant to be in response to Robert's post above -- sorry.

Andre Kutscherauer is a 3D modelling artist who produces incredibly detailed and photo-quality renders. His work includes heavy use of reflections, refractions and transparency, aswell as metallic and plastic texturing. You'll have to see it to understand. Most of the pieces are simple yet powerful.

He also reveals the wireframes of the renders he exhibits, and there's even a short 3D motion clip available. Truely inspiring.

PS: His 'Selfillumination' piece was what drew my attention to his work. It's a classic.

Nice online portfolio -- not sure that it really qualifies as an 'exhibition...'

Lost at E Minor: http://www.lostateminor.com/

'Lost at E Minor' is a collective website containing new pop culture discoveries. Although it is a blog, every post consists of information on an artist or images of an artwork. It is regularly updated with posts organised in categories ranging from music, art, fashion to places and products.

I think it is worthwhile because of the diverse amount of work shown. The variety keeps it interesting and also shows there are endless possibilities with art.
