About Me

Hi - this is the Top 8 gallery 804.I am the curator since April of 07. This is the finale as the originator of Top 8 will be taking over all the Top 8's and passing them on to his students in New Zealand. In the meantime I am showcasing all of the artists I have shown here over the last 9 months. It has been a great honor as i have met some wonderful art making people. If you have not added yourself to my personal MySpace but would like to stay in touch please do so. - CATHIE JOY @ WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CATJOY

galastaciaworthwhile~~~ Top 8 Gallery is a new media experiment in distributed aesthetics (distributed across space and time, people and audiences) and the autopoietic (self) generation of art community and context. Launched originally in late 2006, Top 8 gained enough momentum by April 2007 to begin with 8 curators from within the growing Top 8 Gallery community on MySpace. The curators (many are artists also) are responsible for putting together a program of exhibitions featuring MySpace artists and art projects on rotation for a six month period via 8 separate gallery accounts on MySpace (Galleries 801 - 808). 801 – 808 are displayed as the Top Friends of the Top 8 profile here. After 6 months, another 8 curators are shoulder tapped by the existing curators to take over the gallery. Top 8 operations are always open to change initiated by the Top 8 public.
