Hah I would never assume Alex Grey to be an all-knowing authority and have never heard him talk about it. I’ve heard him talk a great deal about mystery so that alone implies that he probably isn’t “all knowing” :P I would love to inspire him even a fraction of how much his art has generously inspired me. *peace*

Alex maybe somehow 'spiritually enlightened' but for sure he not nor he claims to be an all knowing authority. Maybe forward this link [link] and enlighten him about this issue.

:o

your art is like fantastic hallucination, vision full of reinforced colors, bended projections of moments that tend to change eternity ...

great :gallery:

if something happen between two people and one of them(or even both) forgot all about that, did that "something" even ever happen then?

Maybe the interesting point is not the art but the reaction.

Where is the schizophrenia in this...

There was no attempt to intervene and feed the dog at the show even tho audience believed it was starving?

With love and compassion for a dead dog, and in the same time threatening to kill a human being. And many eat meat every day supporting industry that cruelly destroys hundreds of millions of animals every day without a second thought.

Where are the petitions for millions of innocent people who are starved, abused and killed by insane politics and politicians. (Tibet for example)

So certainly a point can be found... but still I don't like or respect this art/hoax, not very clever, creative or even original.

Back in 1988 finnish artist Teemu Mäki really killed a cat with an axe on video masturbated on its dead body, and was found guilty in court for animal cruelty, but still in 1994 that disgusting cat video was bought to finnish national contemporary art museum (Kiasma) collection for 20000 euros

From prof. Rubinov

Dear Friends,

I am sending this to key people in the fields of art, consciousness, humanitarian efforts, and animal activists...that you may pass it on.

In my next book, PROMETHEAN FLAMES, I use the term "deadstallation" to describe the vacant and dead art of "installations" today. I did not expect my term to become literally TRUE. In 2007, the so-called 'artist', Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death.

For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors to the exhibition watched, emotionless, as the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, eventually killed him. The walls were decorated with words made of dog food.

But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Bienniale of Central America decided that the 'installation' was actually art, not only calling it "art" but AWARDING him the prestigious FIRST PRIZE. Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the Biennial of 2008.

PLEASE HELP STOP HIM.

It is no wonder that genuine artists who are deeply involved in expressing an integral and spiritual vision are beset with great challenges in the business of contemporary art. All in all, deep works of art are not likely to be found in the modern art museums, galleries and Bienniales, which are the contemporary counterpart to the palace in the fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes by Hans Christian Anderson. Contemporary museums prefer to literally buy
and exhibit Manzoni's ‘canned shit’, piss aquariums with Christ inside, blood and guts on the floor, morons muttering nonsense on a video screen or peuk-filled bottles lit up from behind.

David Lee, editor of Art Review magazine:

“Last year’s Turner Prize winner, Chris Ofili, used elephant dung in his painting. Damien Hirst won the prize in 1997 for displaying the severed halves of a cow and calf in formaldehyde and artist Tony Kaye tried to submit a homeless steel worker for the prize. The judges’ bluster about Epoetry and the other all-purpose drivel they trotted out in defense of their choice is unhelpful to those of us who remain bewildered. It would have been educative for the entire nation to be flies on the wall of the Tate director’s office when the judges were deliberating. We would have learned the criteria used for judging such work and not have had to take on trusting the mindless paeans, more drivel uttered by those snake oil salesmen from the Tate’s Department of Interpretation. As it is we are none the wiser. Is it
art? It might be but it does not look like it to me . . .”

With little or no change, just a few years ago, the Tate Gallery in London once again held its annual Turner Prize Awards, a cultural event that supposedly presents what is considered to be the highest and most valued art being created today. It is the ‘very latest’, what is on the cutting edge of the contemporary art scene and in their mounting of this exhibition they revealed their conniving and irresponsible behavior yet again. The exhibition consisted of works composed of bones, blood and guts, absurd assemblages and installations of garbage, virtually all of it vile and grotesque. To this, on the other side of the world, now we can add the murder of a dog as an exhibition in 2007 with a scheduled re-appearance in November, 2008.

Oy vey, if I could only get my hands on this bastard-excuse for a human being, and make him part of my next exhibition....now what would that look like???

Love
Prof Phil

Your art is remarkable! I’ve looked at it over and over and showed it to a few people. I love the idea of a black light, circus-like, shamanic show...I wwish I could create something like that. I love how your art is bursting with archetypal mythology... it's all so mysterious to me. I'm sure your art will become psychedelic relics in the future... if your selling posters, I’d love to buy one.. I really reallly wish to see performances with your paintings someday!! Thanks for manifesting such amazing visions!

for my brothers and sisters...

A poem by the lightfull rumi

From these depths depart towards heaven;
may your soul be happy, journey joyfully.
You have escaped from the city full of fear and trembling;
happily become a resident of the Abode of Security
If the body’s image has gone, await the image-maker; if the
body is utterly ruined, become all soul.
If your face has become saffron pale through death, become a
dweller among tulip beds and Judas trees.
If the doors of repose have been barred to you, come, depart
by way of the roof and the ladder.
If you are alone from Friends and companions, by the help of
God become a saheb-qeran. [lord of happy circumstance].
If you have been secluded from water and bread, like bread
become the food of the souls, and so become!
