The depo business park continues to expand. Our earliest residents, Field Fisher Waterhouse, and Market Truths, have now been joined by many others, including the BBC Film Network, BDO Stoy Hayward, Marks Sattin, Alexander Mann Solutions and the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

The environment includes facilities for meetings, conferences and events as well as individual office developments. Reception and support staff are on hand from 10am to 6pm UK time, and from 4pm to 6pm PDT, so that your customers can drop by any time and receive professional care and attention.

Regular events, meetings and seminars are held on the park to provide quality, thought-provoking perspectives on the potential and practicalities of the virtual world.

THE SECOND SHOW :: NEW YORK EXILES

Haydn Shaughnessy Gallery launches the second show in their stunning Second Life Gallery *Ten Cubed*. The Cork, Ireland based gallery will host four New York artists.

Singer, songwriter Jimmie James joins installation artist Susan Kaprov and photographer EJ Carr along with Jon Coffelt who will be previewing his new project One World Wallet, a social network art project.

*"New York Exiles"* theme is estrangement and beauty and features James' graffiti-based acrylics, Kaprov's plastic flower scans, and pop-fashion images from EJ Carr. Jon Coffelt will be installing a wall made up of individually designed duct-tape wallets.

Ten Cubed's launch in February 2008 attracted attention from the Guardian and Design Week as well as leading art bloggers. "It allows us to connect with artists from around the world," says owner Haydn Shaughnessy, "as well as connecting artists to new audiences. In many ways it is a better form of exhibition than a real life gallery. It's more flexible, accessible and it's low on carbon."

The gallery boasts an equivalent of 100,000 sq ft of exhibition space and a stunning design by real life architect Bennet Dunkley. Access to the gallery is via the SL URL
