I am 8-bit making late summer return in a new venue

It was just yesterday I bounced an email off to Gallery 1988, the art house in LA that has housed the "I am 8-bit" art show the past 3 years. I started getting nervous that nothing has been announced as of yet about the 2008 edition of the show. I was more than a little dismayed when I heard back from them that they weren't going to be doing a show this year.

Fast forward barely a few hours, and I read on Siliconera that the show IS coming back in August at an unspecified venue. Now, I'm easily an art show idiot, and have no idea how these things work... so maybe someone can chime in and make it all clear. I was under the impression that the gallery itself held the event, and as such if they weren't doing it then it wasn't happening. Is it the kind of thing where Jon Gibson (the show's creator) can shop it around to other galleries?

I can't imagine not wanting to host it, the pictures of the event of the last few years show crazy lines and the kind of people that NEVER go to art shows (like me).

Times might've conflicted. Gallery1988 has been hosting numerous art shows lately, maybe they couldn't take it on. The same curator can take it wherever someone is willing to display it. Then again, the new space might be better suitable for the show.

I was told by someone in this year's show that most of the artists from past years won't be in it anymore because they were 1988 artists. That's sux because those are always the best pieces! Still wondering what the deal is though.
