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.

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.

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.

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!

WATER PISTOL IN THE SHAPE OF A SUBMARINE INCLUDED IN ROBOT CURATOR BOX

MGU has called a meeting of Moscow's leading Art Historians to discuss the implications this may have for future exhibitions.

FLUSHING SOUND VERY MYSTERIOUS

Instructions in the assembly of the Gallery's new robot curator included instructions for installing the 'flushing sound', and 'flushing sound adjustment'. Little mysterious, but we are persevering!

GALLERY'S NEW IMPROVED ROBOT CURATOR.....NEEDS ASSEMBLY

MGU's New Curator arrived this morning, by courier. Unexpectedly, the robot needs assembly. Please be patient while we heat up the soldering iron, crack our knuckles and get a coffee from H.A.N.K.

OVER 45 COMPLAINTS ABOUT ROBOT'S BAD LANGUAGE


Thank you everyone for taking the time to write all those emails. Sorry for our late response to them, but our net nanny didn't allow many of them through until just now.
It is true that we let H.A.N.K get a little out of control, as curator, so we have appointed him to a new post within the Gallery structure. Needless to say we hope he will find this new post as personally satisfying as his role as Curator.
