Alejandro Vigilante unveils his first “E-mail is My Art” Exhibition, emails that are art.


Miami, FL (October 9, 2007) From November 30, 2007, to December 16, 2007, the Wynwood Arts District in Miami, FL ill unveil Alejandro Vigilante's "E-mail is My Art" exhibition. This exhibition will display "emails" featuring humorous takes on celeberties and political figures. I'm not sure this should be considered fine art as much as comics, but they are funny either way. The press release says,

"More than 100 paintings will be on view for the length of the show, and there is truly humor and satire for everyone’s taste. In the “WiFi in the AfterLife” series, Jim Morrison croons, “Baby, don’t delete my e-mail; try to set the text on fi-yer, yeah!” Robin says to Batman, “Holy Spam, Batman!” And the Buddha cautions: “If you see a Buddha in Cyberspace, delete him!”

I really liked the Batman email, but some of the others I just don't get. Ah, well.

I think this exhibition is very out-of-the-box. Very original. It shows every artist that not everything has been done and that you can create something unique.
