Art & Design. Saatchi Gallery
Art & Design. Saatchi Gallery: It's only right that we post about this one. With Web 2.0 taking a stronghold on big-media, no genre is safe from invasion. The latest success is Saatchi Gallery - a social networking site for the art-focused individual. The New York Times recently wrote about it.
As reported: "Julie Ann Travis , 23, a graduate student at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, is curious to see what her peers are up to and to share some of her latest work. So recently she posted a self-portrait in which her head is buried in a pile of dirt at Stuart (saatchi-gallery.co.uk/stuart), the latest addition to a recently redesigned Web site for the Saatchi Gallery in London. The brainchild of the London-based advertising magnate and collector Charles Saatchi, this social networking outlet — a kind of MySpace knockoff for artists — is causing something of a sensation, boosting traffic at the gallery’s Web site overall to more than three million hits a day."
