At the beginning of November I was invited to Palais Orleans to view recent works by two artists. I began to do a story about it, but stopped when I learned while talking to the owner that she was about to tear the whole gallery down and build a new complex. That made me wait. Morgana Nagorski has now finished her three galleries and launched them at opening parties on Saturday and Sunday. I attended the party on Sunday along with many other guests. I heard that about 70 attended the opening Saturday.
Gallery 1 is a collection of lovely pieces by
Morgana from several past exhibits. I found some of that art very wistful
and elegant. Gallery 2 has an exhibit called “Phantasmagoria.” This
gallery presentation is very different and contains pieces that are
described as an ”optical illusion produced by a magic lantern of the like in
which figures increase or diminish in size, pass into each other, dissolve.”
There, you will find pieces by Morgana and Kato Salyut. Gallery 3 houses
an exhibit called “What a Wonderful World” and contains beautiful landscapes of
second life by Morgana. There are beautiful plays of color and light in the
photographs. Morgana says that this gallery will remain essentially the
same. 
Gallery 1 will always host a duet of artists and will change often.
Morgana wanted those artists to have their showing without all the hoopla of the
opening days so an exhibit featuring the art of Maloe Vansant and Burk
Bode called 'The Weirdo and I’ will be opening soon. Gallery 2 will have
an exhibit of works by 22 artists based on the songs of Leonard Cohen beginning
on January 17. You will enjoy all three galleries and they are within walking
distance set with a lovely courtyard in the center. 
I met the builder of all the
galleries, Zandy Oh, at the party and she is to be complimented on her
work. Morgana also has her studio there where she has portraits for
clients that are special order. You will enjoy visiting the galleries and
viewing the entire exhibit as it is now, but also hang on to the landmark. There
will be so much more to see.When you go look for gifts in each building, or in
the courtyard. Enter here and enjoy! http://slurl.com/secondlife/
