Here is some information about this fantastic exhibit and about the artist! This information is taken from the notecards that Moe had provided to me.
Dezentricised
=========
"Dezentricised" consists of an installation and a series of primages derived from it - made in the first week of November 2011.
Original SL-artwork by Moeuhane Sandalwood
The show:
"Dezentricised" is a series of works that are oscillating between several extremes.
The work is imbalaced and yet harmonic, formalistic and abstract, even and odd at the same time.
It travels from light to dark, between color and grey, shiny and dull.
The viewer can rest in it, yet will never get rid of a certain unsettling, uneasy feeling.
"Dezentricised" draws it's energy from this perpetuum-pendulum motion present in the uncertainty of our present day times.

Story behind "Dezentricised - Centricsim Series":
Moeuhane Sandalwood's artistic venue has always followed two paths - realistic and abstract. Both sides come to their rights within their own time.
After the rather story driven installations in the first half of 2011, Moe's other side demanded its space again. Moeuhane Sandalwood went back to prim-based abstractions.
For a recent exhibition he revisited his "Centricism"-Series - which was one of his first primphotography-explorations after coming to Second Life in 2009.
While hanging the exhibition the idea for the installation came to him - and he instantly started building right on the spot.
After the final touches on the installation in his studio Moeuhane Sandalwood decided that the installation is the perfect base to continue the original "Centricism"-Series with a "twist". The new series "Dezentricised" was born - and premiering here at Emmalena Damour's Art Gallery in November 2011.
Moe Sandalwood
===============
Moe Sandalwood (moeuhane.sandalwood) is a storyteller and conceptual photographer, specializing in 'staged art'.
As a resident artist Moe is part of the Aeonia Arts Group.
For the most part Moe works with scenery and moods found on the awesome sims presented by SL's most gifted residents.
Although working with specific locations and scenery at times, he mostly picks out a tiny detail and tries to capture the story within - to be relived by the spectator in his/her very personal way.
Every piece of his work is a stage of life where the spectator is also actor and director, creating the story through his/her own eyes.
In the January 2011 round of the UWA Art Challenge Moe Sandalwood was awarded the "Workhouse & Art Place d-o-o-b Prize" for his piece "Shivering Rock".
Moe exhibited at Burn2 - as part of the Aeonia Arts Group. A recreation of the famed installation "Welcome to fabulous AntVegas" can be seen at Aeonia.
Recently Moe Sandalwood also started to share some RL-photography in Second Life.

The exhibit was a success. We had live music provided by Ghostie Wildmist singing some wonderful songs with her sexy sultry voice. Not as many people there as normal for the actual party, but people have been coming and seeing the exhibit throughout the week.
