New photographic show. Hot Hot Hot.

YOUNG MEN OFFER TO TAKE MGU FOR A SPIN

 

Staff received a very generous offer late last night, that due to under-resourcing, had to sadly decline. Three young men, all very excited, offered to take the gallery "off our hands for a week or two". Gallery staff made the decision to unhook the Gallery from their car, coming to a mutual agreement that suits our art loving fans too. The young men will call their car 'Mobile Gallery Unit' for the week, while we will be referring to the Gallery as 'Mum's car'.    

GALLERY HIRES GHOSTS AND FAIRIES

Is it not more in line with the mysterious forces that guide art, that the gallery guides are also drawn from the world of the same mysteries?
For the foreseeable future we are leaving the Gallery in the hands of 3 fairies and 1 ghost.
Normal opening hours remain.

NEW EXHIBITION MILDLY MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE LAST

Contemporary artists have outlined a new set of instructions for gallery staff.
They would like to radically change the structures of presenting contemporary art, the way contemporary art is thought about and discussed, and the relationship between art works and the public. They have come up with a series of suggestions that might help, based on how people sit at their desks. First on their list was the 'suggestion' of adopting the pictured pose for office work. The artists have suggested that all offices could adopt this practice, not just curators.

We are attempting this right now.

GALLERY AIMS TO BE MORE LIKE SOIL

In a radical revamp of MGU's mission statement we have been able to reduce our ambition into a single sentence.

12 FT CARAVAN REMAINS 12 FT

The expanding Universe is never far from our thoughts. As it expands we'd like to reassure viewers that the Gallery is doggedly maintaining its own dimensions. 

CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE

We have heard the terrible news of the Christchurch earthquake, many have died. New Zealand is a small country and this has affected all of us. MGU sends all best wishes and thoughts to our friends and family in the south.

BACK THE OTHER WAY NOW

After orbiting so long in the same directions the planets have agreed to go round the other way for an MGU exhibition. The consequences for time are as yet unknown. We don't know how long the show will last.

CONSTRUCTIVE TALKS NOW IN PROGRESS

MGU is in discussion with a top International artist about his new theory on the connection between Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Ripper.
The artist says 'people are complex'.
MGU agrees.

GALLERISTS HAPPY WITH LATEST INDICATIVE GIF FROM FUNDERS

CRIMINAL

After a little spell off MGU returns with an exhibition.
This time an artist has installed an exhibition relating to a crime scene within the Gallery that implicates prominant American politicians and the FBI.
All we can say so far is that it is a very detailed little scene with a trail of passports, documents, evidence of political inclinations, various guns, hair, and other things that seem to have come from the back pockets of agents dining at diners in TEXAS.
All very suspicious.

GALLERY PASSES ON MESSAGE FROM THE SERVER

THE SERVER IS TOO BUSY

CURATOR REVAMPS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND CALLS IT ART

News just in that R.U.B.Y the robot has changed the employment contracts of all staff to legally bind MGU to provide all staff with a bowl of fruit everyday, and also a place to 'sleep in'. R.U.B.Y says that these new freedoms within the workplace will affect what the staff think about freedom in general. R.U.B.Y went on to say that whatever staff most crave outside the workplace will be the thing they are supplied with most readily within the workplace. She will be closely monitoring the cravings of the staff, as if it were extremely important to do so.

NEW EXHIBITION IN THE PLANNING STAGES

MGU is pleased to announce a new exhibition curated by Robot R.U.B.Y that she says will bring together Conservatives, Liberals, Fanatics, Extremists, the Insane, and all their Parents.
Details of the opening function will be released soon!

GALLERY EXHIBITS SOME SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Critics say the gallery is refusing to deal with reality. We say reality is smoke and mirrors.

DIVINE UPDATE

R.U.B.Y has begun her post with MGU by refusing to show any art made by human hands. This also excludes animal art. We can confirm that we are now dealing exclusively with art made by divine hands. Let the world tremble at the thought that our humble gallery might be worthy of such objects!

ROBOT CURATOR SETS NEW PARAMETERS FOR ART (FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK)

R.U.B.Y has set some new guidelines down which she says will govern at least the new week of exhibitions here at MGU.
She says the new guidelines will be plainly obvious by the work shown.
Stay tuned!

GALLERY MUST DEVELOP NEW LANGUAGE SYSTEM TO COMMUNICATE WITH NEW ROBOTIC CURATOR

Observers close to the gallery say that sounds seem to be coming from the inside of the curator's robotic system, and so far it appears to sound dolphin-like.

NEW CURATOR ALL READY

MGU is over the moon to announce the successful installation of it's new curator. The only hitch so far is that there was no mouth in the box, so we are relying on face expressions to understand what she likes and doesn't like. We've already discovered that she has broad tastes that include irony, naivety, the digital sublime, gesture based informal installations, visible 'brush-strokes' in digital code, and self-conscious digital art. She does not like fart-jokes. Welcome R.U.B.Y!

H.A.N.K SAYS IT COULD BE UP TO THREE DAYS BEFORE NEW CURATOR IS READY FOR CURATING

Staff continue to wait nervously.
