After the phenomenal success of Unified Heart last January, we see this fabulous gallery show back for a second round, and just as phenomenal as the last.
For those who may not know Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet, and novelist. His work often explores religion, isolation, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships.
Some of the best and quite possibly some of your favorite singers have covered Cohen through the years.
It’s almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen, the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late 1950s through the mid-’60s, it was Judy Collins who encouraged the middle-aged Canadian writer to try his hand at performing his own songs, and the rest is history. She also had a successful cover of Cohen’s “Suzanne”. (from this article: 30 Great Covers of Leonard Cohen. )
My personal favorite song from Mr. Cohen aside from Hallelujah is Dance Me To The End Of Love .
has been a Leonard Cohen fan since her epiphany in 1974, when she woke in the middle of night to the strains of “That’s No Way To Say Goodbye” playing on the radio she had left on when she fell asleep."
With this gallery showcase of Cohen's work she received some good press and press from out of Second Life as well. You can read that article HERE.
21 of Second Life's best artists worked hard to bring their eye to Cohen's musical art , that have touched the lives of so many over the years.

FROM THE DESK OF STEFAN BUSCAYLET:
Creator of LUMIPro in Second Life
Palais Orleans Gallery Complex has held a special place in my heart as the
birth of LUMIPro was through the collaborative works between me and the first curator
of the gallery. Although times have changed, my love of this gallery
remains. Their most recent showing of Unified Heart 2013 represents the
works of Leonard Cohen. A staggering 21 super stars of the art world were
represented and I’m happy to report all of the artists are LUMIPro users and
most used LUMIPro in this showing. The buzz created by the show covered
every major "who's who" in the SL world and was picked up by major
syndication feeds. And to top things off Morgana received press outside
of SL!! I'm stellar proud of the gallery's accomplishment and
especially to Morgana personally who continues to be both a personal friend and
supporter of arts and LUMIPro. If you have not seen the gallery, I
encourage you to make it there. It’s something special.
