Lindsay Stripling "The Witches"
I confess I first fell for Lindsay Stripling's more epic and weird watercolor tableaux. But then I happened upon this lovely witch work and had to post it because - well, you read this blog so I don't have to explain!

I've had this album on heavy rotation lately, and it's too divine not to share.
But first, a preamble: I was introduced to Jorge Ben's music by a work colleague during my trip to Brazil two years ago. He's considered a national treasure there (often referred to "BenJor" or by his later name modification, Jorge Ben Jor), and is beloved for his fusion of bossa nova, samba, and rock. I confess that while I liked the early samba album of his that I procured there, it's not something I found myself playing too often once I was back home for whatever reason.
Fast forward to my recent discovery of his 1970s work, in particular this 1974 album, A Tábua De Esmeralda. For you non-Portuguese speakers out there, the title translates to "The Emerald Tablet," and the music therein is chock full of references to alchemy, Nicolas Flamel, Paracelsus, and the one and only Hermes Trismegistus himself. In fact, one of the last tracks, "Hermes Trismegisto e sua celeste tábua de esmeralda" has the words of the Emerald Tablet as its lyrics set to groovy song.
Sonically, it's an eclectic, joyful album, with beautiful arrangements and irresistible rhythms. It sounds like summer. But the esoteric content has boosted this into my firmament of All-Time Favorite Things.
If you're so intrigued, you can read the lyrics translated into English and interpreted at the Brazil 70 Translation Project.
You can learn more about Jorge Ben and his occultic interests over at Tiny Mixtapes and on ContERN.
And you can stream this masterpiece over on Spotify here. I highly recommend that you do. After all, The Alchemists Are Coming.
(Many thanks to Gabriel Stefano for the intro to Jorge Ben, and to Lynda Barry for the reminder and spotlight on this phase of his oeuvre).

Tin Can Forest, from "What Is A Witch," 2016
I am thrilled to announce "Green Witch: Plant Magic, Alchemy, and the Wild Feminine," an evening of conversation between myself and my teacher, the legendary green witch, Robin Rose Bennett. Some of you know that Robin has had a deep influence on my practice and my life on the whole, and this will be a rare opportunity for me to get to ask her even more questions and exchange ideas with her about plant energy, witchcraft, divine feminism, and more. It will be taking place on Thursday, July 28th, 7:30pm at The Alchemist's Kitchen in NYC's East Village.
Full details:
"Green Witch: Plant Magic, Alchemy, and the Wild Feminine"
A conversation with Pam Grossman of Phantasmaphile, and renowned herbalist, Robin Rose Bennett
Thursday, July 28, 2016
7:30pmThe Alchemist's Kitchen, 21 East 1st St, NYC
$20 tickets available here
There are many interpretations of the word "witch," and as an archetype, the witch is as complex as they come. But one thing is clear: she is a potent change-maker who is intimately connected to the Earth and her magick. Whether concocting a botanical potion, engaging in seasonal ritual, or crafting an alchemical spell, she is in constant relationship to nature - and to her own wild self.
In this evening of conversation and celebration, writer and esoteric art curator, Pam Grossman, will discuss aspects of witchcraft and plant energy with her teacher, the legendary green witch, Robin Rose Bennett. Topics will include herbalism and ecology, feminine (and feminist) power, the current rise in popularity of witches, and the ways that the witch can teach us how to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
Pam Grossman is a writer, curator, and teacher of magical practice and history. She is the author of the illuminated manifesto, "What Is A Witch" (Tin Can Forest Press 2016), and the creator of Phantasmaphile, a blog that specializes in esoteric and fantastical art. Pam's group art shows and projects have been featured by such outlets as Artforum, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Art in America. She is Associate Editor of Fulgur Esoterica and the co-organizer of the Occult Humanities Conference at NYU.
Robin Rose Bennett is an herbalist, writer, and educator who teaches WiseWoman Healing Ways of herbal medicine and EarthSpirit teachings. She is the author of two meditation CDs and the books Healing Magic: A Green Witch Guidebook to Conscious Living, and, most recently, The Gift of Healing Herbs. www.WiseWomanHealingWays.com
I hope you'll join us.

We had the very good fortune of seeing Tony Oursler's "Imponderable" Archive show up at Bard last weekend, and I highly encourage you to make the trip if you're able. Oursler has been collecting thousands of supernatural and occult books, objects, photographs, and other ephemera stretching back to the 19th century, and his archive is eclectic and vast. This exhibition is a comprehensive and beautifully curated "best of" if you will, and touches on topics from cryptozoology to Spiritualism to stage magic to witchcraft.
It also features some of Oursler's own entrancing, sly 4D video works which complement the exhibition well. Those, plus frequent references to his grandfather, Charles Fulton Oursler - a friend of Houdini's and noted mediumship debunker - give the show a personal texture. It becomes not only about humanity's history of seeking, but a slippery, winking portrait of the artist and his influences.
The exhibition is accompanied by a new edition of his tremendous book, "Imponderable: The Archive of Tony Oursler." There is also a coincident show at MoMA featuring his video installation, also called "Imponderable."
Full details on all:
Tony Oursler: The "Imponderable" Archive
June 25, 2016 - October 30, 2016
CCS Bard Galleries
Imponderable is an extensive research project, exhibition, film, and publication that investigates the personal collection of American artist Tony Oursler, a remarkable trove of more than 2,500 photographs, documents, publications, and unique objects, tracking a social, spiritual, and intellectual history dating back to the early eighteenth century. The actual objects within the archive will be shown for the first time in this comprehensive exhibition, extending the previous iterations of Imponderable commissioned by the LUMA Foundation in Arles and Zurich, where the 4D film and publication were originally presented in 2015. Concurrent with the presentation at CCS Bard, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York will exhibit a full-scale theater screening of Oursler's Imponderable film (June 18, 2016 – January 2, 2017).
The project's title, Imponderable, suggests the idea of something that cannot be determined with accuracy. Eighteenth-century scientists used the word to describe magnetism, electricity, and other unquantifiable energies, many of which are represented in Oursler's archive. The 'imponderable' also suggests an area of open speculation populated by numerous conflicting belief systems. Additionally, Oursler is interested in how even the most incredible ideas can be presented in such a way that they convince the audience of their veracity.
The landscape of the archive covers numerous categories such as: stage magic, thought photography, demonology, cryptozoology, optics, Mesmerism, automatic writing, hypnotism, fairies, cults, pareidolia, the occult, color theory, and UFOs. Oursler's initial research into these fringe practices of media histories and occult phenomenon led the artist further into ideas of speculative thought, the boundaries of science, the use of the spectacular, all of which resonate with contemporary pop culture. For Oursler, nested and mirrored within this archive, is also an intriguing family history that includes his grandfather, Fulton Oursler, Houdini, and the author Arthur Conan Doyle.
Originally commissioned by the LUMA Foundation for LUMA Arles in France, this project investigates new possibilities for archives and artistic production, which is one of its primary concerns. Imponderable translates the original archival materials into the form of a film, an installation, and a publication, providing new insight into both the material gathered by the artist over many years, and the trajectory of his own work.
The 4D film-based experience to be shown at MoMA explores the conflicting and overlapping belief systems implicit within his grandfather's engagement with the debunking of paranormal activity. In addition to the exhibition of more than two thousand objects at CCS Bard, the broader reach of the archival material is presented in a six-hundred page, fully illustrated, publication that makes the archive available to the public for the first time. Alongside a substantial visual catalogue of Oursler's archive, organized by the artist, this publication gathers a large number of newly commissioned texts by scholars, historians, and fellow enthusiasts for material that certainly lies outside the mainstream.
Imponderable: The Archives of Tony Oursler was commissioned and produced by the LUMA Foundation for the Parc des Ateliers in Arles, France. Curated by Tom Eccles and Beatrix Ruf.
The exhibition Tony Oursler: The Imponderable Archive, curated by Tom Eccles and Beatrix Ruf is on view at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, from June 25 to October 30, 2016.
Tony Oursler: Imponderable, curated by Stuart Comer and Erica Papernik-Shimizu, is on view at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from June 18, 2016 to January 2, 2017.

Georgiana Houghton "The Eye of God"
London, you've done it again. An exhibition of Georgiana Houghton's spirit drawings opens tomorrow at The Courtland Gallery, marking the first time her work has been displayed in the UK in nearly 150 years. She's often spoken about in the same breath as Hilma af Klint, though Houghton's work preceded hers. Regardless, both of these artists are considered godmothers of abstract art, and saw themselves as channels for the spirits to communicate to the material world via color and form. Not to mention, they were creating work decades before female artists began to get acknowledgement by the art world at large. It's astounding and exciting that they are beginning to get their due.
"Georgiana Houghton: Spirit Drawings" is up through September 11th. Here's hoping I can visit before then!

Gertrude Abercrombie "Untitled (Ballet for Owl)" 1952
Several of you lovelies have sent me this Artsy article about eight lesser-known female surrealists, and I'm delighted to say I learned of a couple of wonderful, new (to me) artists through it. First and foremost is Gertrude Abercrombie, a Chicago-based painter whose self-portraits occupy a dreamspace filled with nocturnal creatures and magical goings-on. I love the flatness of these images, for they belie a complex interior life, soaked in personal symbolism.
Abercrombie's biography is fascinating as well: she ran in jazz circles, had Dizzy Gillespie perform at her second wedding, and was the inspiration behind the Richie Powell song, "Gertrude's Bounce." She also apparently liked to wear a velvet, pointy hat to emphasize her witchlike appearance.
A woman after my own heart.

Robin Whiteman "Horse Goddess"
I have been dreaming about these little horse goddess sculptures by Robin Whiteman ever since I encountered them at Michele Varian. I love the balance of the crackled glaze and the elegant, equine energy. It's a beautiful conjure tool for freedom and inner-peace.

Fiona Pardington "Still Life with Waterlilies, Dragonfruit, and Sphynx, Ripiro" 2014
Fiona Pardington's still life photography is evocative of the Old Masters but with a neon-jewel palette and a darkly magickal twist. I'm particularly fond of her wit - the small incongruities she includes such as the dish soap bottle feel grounding and totemic at once. Her current show of glass unicorn figurine tableux, 100% Unicorn, is up now at Auckland's Starkwhite gallery through June 25th, and it looks just marvelous.

Hilma Af Klint "Group IX/UW, No. 25, The Dove, No. 1, " 1915 Oil on canvas, 151 × 114.5 cm; Courtesy of Stiftelsen Hilma af Klints Verk; Photo: Moderna Museet / Stockholm
I have been very remiss in posting about the astounding Hilma Af Klint show up now at London's Serpentine Gallery. Perhaps it was due to my unconscious mind's blind jealousy that such a thing of wonder is happening so far from where I live. Alas! But if you are lucky enough to be in the region, you have until this Sunday to visit it, and you simply must if you haven't already. Do it for me. It is deeply heartening to see this pioneer of spiritual abstraction get her due.
In good NYC-centric news, there is an incredible series of complementary otherworldly events being programmed by spirit photographer extraordinaire, Shannon Taggart, at Brooklyn's own Morbid Anatomy Museum. The series will focus on Spiritualism, feminism, and the history and practice of mediumship:
Wednesday, June 8, 7pm - Spirits, Spoon Benders and Suffragettes: An Introduction to Spiritualism
Thursday, June 9, 7pm - Traditional Spiritualist Message Service
Friday, June 10, 7pm - The Fox Sisters: Pioneers Of Spiritualism and Feminism, with Author Barbara Weisberg
Saturday, June 11, Class, 11am – 1pm - Spirit Portraits, Auragraphs and Automatic Drawings: A Spiritualist Art Workshop with Medium Susan Barnes
Saturday, June 11, Lecture, 2pm – 3pm - Spiritualist Medium, Free Love Advocate and Presidential Candidate: The Revolutionary Feminism of Victoria Woodhull, An Illustrated Presentation with Dr. Cristina Zaccarini
Saturday, June 11, Class, 3:30pm – 5:30 pm - One Minute Mediumship: An Experimental Workshop with Medium Lauren Thibodeau
Sunday, June 12, 2pm - Traditional Spiritualist Message Service with Tea and Coffee Reception
I am definitely planning on making it to some of these, and you should, too.

Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman "Orphic Egg Girl" 2016
There are four(!) shows opening tonight at Stephen Romano Gallery, and each one looks highly intriguing. Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman's "Swallowing the Stone" seems especially delightful, thanks to her unique visual language that's part whimsy, part alchemy, and all rendered with a burnished golden hue. Nyahzul C. Blanco's "AETHER" channels high priestesses and priests, pulling them into view through a techno-mystic lens. There's also Matt Nolan's curious biomorphic sculptures, and "STATEM FINIS (The End of Things)," a group show of Romano (un)usual suspects such as Charles Dellschau, Darcilio Lima, William Mortensen, Rithika Merchant, and Lori Field.
This quadra-headed hydra of an exhibition will mark the gallery's final showings in the current Bushwick space. Tonight's reception is from 5-9pm, and all will be on view through May 29th. Don't miss this.

Lucas Samaras "Head #142" 1981
Lucas Samaras' work always brings me a welcome shot of joy, and this exhibition of his pastels opening this week at the Morgan Library is no exception. Like a psychedelic Bonnard, he captures his surroundings and himself with prismatic, vibrating color and line. This show is a wonderful way to say hello to springtime and all its Beltane beauty.
During the first three decades of his long career, American artist Lucas Samaras (b. 1936 in Greece) turned to pastel to produce small, intimate works that explored themes present in his better-known paintings, sculptures, and installations. He was attracted to pastel's bright colors and shimmering surface, and also to the fact that it was an unfashionable medium in postwar American art.
Dreams in Dust: The Pastels of Lucas Samaras celebrates the gift of forty-eight works to the Morgan from the artist and his dealer Arne Glimcher. Dating to the years 1958-1983, they range in subject matter from dreamlike seascapes and interiors to self-portraits, nudes, and still life. The installation of the exhibition was conceived in collaboration with the artist, who designed a wallpaper for it. The works will be presented in chronological order highlighting four successive phases of production.
Dreams in Dust: The Pastels of Lucas Samaras is made possible with generous support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and Pace Gallery, with assistance from Nancy Schwartz and the Charles E. Pierce, Jr. Fund for Exhibitions. The catalogue is made possible by the Andrew W. Mellon Fund for Research and Publications.

Judith Ostrowitz "As Water" 2016
I haven't had the good fortune yet of viewing Judith Ostrowitz's plexi pieces in person, but they sound like a sight to behold. Her neo-Kabbalistic digital collages are adhered to translucent panes, resulting in a brightness and luminosity which is no doubt difficult to capture on screen. I'm digging the images online though, as well as her artist statement:
These semi-transparent pieces suggest images that live in the mind's eye, unmoored by the requirements of wall, floor, or canvas. They are constructed from my digitized paintings, drawings, and photographs and sometimes combined with scanned fabrics, stones, and other materials. These pastiches are then transformed in Photoshop, printed on film, and adhered to Plexiglas. Installation with spacers positions the panels an inch or two away from the wall, allowing light to flow through them. Shaped panels or examples with extensions are made to enhance magical effects.
The shape-shifting that results from these techniques refers to processes of transformation in personal life, world history, and nature. Images and concepts are derived from Alchemy, Qabalah, Tarot, and other Western Mystery Traditions. They explore the problematic matter of fixed position and the mutability of reality according to perception and acts of imagination that dissolve and then reconfigure the known world. In addition, visual puns result from the insertion of objects from everyday life that acquire new meaning from their pictorial contexts. For example, a souvenir dish may stand in for a halo and a large golden tassel suggests the sun. These substitutions create relationships between the world we know and those realms that we wish to know more about.
Here's hoping I get to meet them some day soon.

Brian Lucas "Seventh Sense" 2015
I'm a great fan of pretty much everything that Raymond Foye touches, so I'm sure this show that he's curated at Planthouse will be no exception. "Dark Star: Abstraction and Cosmos" opens on April 7th, and explores the navigation of mystic realms and the (non-)representation of those experiences as seen through the bright minds of such occultic titans as Harry Smith, Jordan Belson, and Charles Stein. Prepare to have your third eye stretched wide open! Details:
Dark Star: Abstraction and Cosmos
Curated by Raymond Foye
Exhibition Dates
April 7 – May 10, 2016
Opening Reception
Thursday, April 7, 6 – 9pm
Jordan Belson. Tamara Gonzales. Tom Kovachevich. Brian Lucas. Harry Smith. Charles Stein. Philip Taaffe. Sally Webster.
From its origins at the turn of the twentieth century, abstract art has looked to the cosmos as a paradigm for a new sense of space. As our knowledge of the cosmos has grown, artists have continued to respond to the increasingly complex information scientists posit, as well as the expanded vision found in telescopic and satellite images. Many of the artists in this show have updated the original tenets of Non-Objectivism to include their experiences of mysticism, yoga, meditation, and psychedelics. In many instances it seems the further out we gaze, the further inward we see, and the play of macro/micro space becomes another topic for reflection.
This exhibition gathers the work of eight artists who explore aspects of cosmos as both subject and metaphor. The exhibition is presided over by historical figures Jordan Belson (1926 – 2011) and Harry Smith (1923 – 1991) both noted for their work in experimental film, but important visual artists in their own right. The remaining artists are all actively working today, based in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley NY, and Oakland CA.
Raymond Foye (b. Lowell, Mass 1957) is a publisher, editor, writer and curator who has lived in New York's Chelsea Hotel since 1979. He studied film with Stan Brakhage at the Art Institute of Chicago, and attended the San Francisco Art Institute. He worked as an editor at City Lights Books (The Unknown Poe, 1980) and New Directions (Bob Kaufman: The Ancient Rain, 1981). He co-founded Hanuman Books with Francesco Clemente in India in 1986, and together they published fifty books over ten years, including original titles by William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Robert Hunter, Cookie Mueller, Bob Flanagan, Robert Frank, Candy Darling, and others. From 1990 – 1995 he was a director of exhibitions and publications at Gagosian Gallery, New York. Since 1995 he has independently organized dozens of art exhibitions worldwide, including the first gallery exhibitions of Allen Ginsberg's photographs, and the art works of Harry Smith. He has contributed essays to publications by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and the Drawing Center in New York.

Those who have seen my "Witch Pictures" lecture or "The Witching Hour" video essay for Film Comment should be aware by now of my adoration of the 1973 Japanese adult animated film, "Kanashimi no Belladonna" or "Belladonna of Sadness." It's a very trigger-warning-y, but gobsmackingly gorgeous water-colored psychedelic film roughly based on Michelet's 1862 book about witches, La Sorcière. It is what the word "trippy" was invented for, with a heaping helping of erotica, vengeance, and the dark arts added for good measure.
This May, a new 4K restoration of the film will be shown in theaters around the country, starting with NYC's Metrograph Cinema and SF's Alamo Drafthouse from May 6 - 11th.
There is also a "Belladonna of Sadness" book from Hat & Beard Press available for pre-order now. The limited-edition version includes a blu-ray of the film, rare posters, an enamel pin, and more.
Giddy with excitement about all of this.

Enrico Donati "Tower of the Alchemist: Creation of the Sun" 1947
I've been meaning to write about this unbelievable Enrico Donati show for ages, and held off only because I thought I might be able to see it in person when I was in SF this past week. It was not in the stars for me, alas, but if you are able to have the opportunity I did not, please don't miss it. "Prima Materia" at the Weinstein Gallery is perhaps the most comprehensive Donati retrospective ever done. It features paintings, sculptures, and assemblages made by this undersung surrealist (and otherwise) master, and celebrates his myriad periods, while tracing a spiritual through-line between them:
"..[O]ne cannot help noticing a pronounced similarity of spirit and intent. It makes itself felt in many ways and at every stage of his career: in the provocative, primal imagery of his Surrealist days, in the color-drenched, enigmatic icons of his middle period, and in the magical, richly patterned pictorial riddles of his later years. To all of these works certain words—magical, enigmatic, primal, and provocative—invariably apply, words that can be applied with equal justification to much of what is best and most significant in Native American art."
Though Donati is hard to classify, his interest in the numinous shines out of all of his rich, peculiar creations. "Prima Materia" celebrates this sorcerer of color and shape via a beautiful catalog and of course the work itself, which is on view at the gallery through April 9th.

Very excited to be presenting a version of my "Witch Pictures" talk for Atlas Obscura on Thursday, March 31st at the Gemini Scorpio Lounge. "Our Lady" Lecture Soiree is an evening of talks and performance that celebrate female iconography, hosted by Obscura Society NY. In addition to my witchery, Sonia Simoes will be teaching us about erotica, and Polina Porras will discuss the Virgin of Guadalupe. There will also be music, drinks, and snacks! Further details below, and tickets here:
Obscura Society NY: "Our Lady" Lecture Soiree
Exploring female iconography through lecture, libations, and musical performance
Spend an evening in adoration and exploration of the power of the female image with musical performance, cocktails, and three lectures which consider depictions of women across time and cultures. Female artists and researchers reflect on their own explorations into the power of female icons. We'll explore the transforming imagery of women from religious iconography to erotica, pornography, and style, and finally examine the image of the witch in visual culture. The magic deepens with the music of mysterious female sirens of sound. Let your mind be ignited and your soul moved as we celebrate the feminine with live music, cocktails, food, and deep investigation.
Curator, writer, magic practitioner, and brilliant creator of Phantasmaphile, Pam Grossman will guide us through the magical and transgressive power of witch imagery in Western art, exploring the shifting visions of these oft-demonized or idealized women as archetypes, muses, and themselves visionary artists.
Sonia Simoes, writer, erotica expert, and collaborative partner in the photography project Call Me Balthazar will explore the history and politics of erotica in relationship to their work and human subjects.
Artist Polina Porras will talk about her project "Santa Agua", through the symbology of its main character: the Virgin of Guadalupe, whom she embodied in front of two churches in Mexico. She will explore the "birth" of this powerful Mexican icon as she dethroned the Pre-Hispanic goddess Tonantzin, incorporating ancient myth, fertility, apparitions, virgins, nature, miracles, corn bellies and clay legs.
Musical performers t.b.a. (Stay tuned... something very powerful is in the works!)

I am over the moon to finally announce the imminent arrival of "What Is A Witch," a comic book of a sort with text by me and images by the incredible illustrators Tin Can Forest! What is "What Is A Witch," you ask? It's a lyrical reflection of the witch and her many guises. A visual spell, a kind of a poem put to pictures, an ode to feminine magick. We're calling it an "illuminated manifesto," and that's the name that I think suits it best. We'll be launching it at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival the weekend of May 14th and 15th, and the three of us will be there in person to watch her take flight. You can pre-order your copy here, and if you order before May 15th, you get a gorgeous free print! Here are all of the juicy details:

Happy to spread the news that Sabat, a gorgeous new magazine with a focus on witchcraft and occulture, will be launching on March 21st. I was very honored to be invited to write a piece for their "Maiden Issue" about the archetype of the maiden, and from the looks of it, I'm in very illustrious company. Lucky Londoners can celebrate this deliciously dark endeavor at the launch party happening at Hand Of Glory on Friday. Others can order copies online or find it at these fine stockists:

It's thrilling when a so-called "fringe" artist gets recognized by an "establishment" institution, especially when the partnership is as inspired as Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and the Rubin Museum. Breyer P-Orridge has been a transgressive, magickally-minded maker of music, art, writing, and ritual for decades, not to mention a trailblazer when it comes to dissolving the gender binary (S/he refers to themselves as a pandrogyne). The Rubin Museum has a great track record of taking their impressive collection of Himalayan art and connecting it to contemporary themes and artists, and Breyer P-Orridge's travels to Tibet are an ideal fulcrum upon which to balance spiritual systems both ancient and living. "Try to Altar Everything" is a survey of Breyer P-Orridge's Tibetan influenced works, and will open via a public reception and sacred object exchange tomorrow evening from 6-9pm. Full details:
March 11 - August 1
For nearly half a century Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been questioning the meaning and substance of identity through artistic endeavors, willful reincarnation, and physical shapeshifting. Try to Altar Everything, a selection of paintings, sculptures, and installations, will explore the ways that Hindu mythology and Nepal's Kathmandu Valley have influenced the artist and h/er work.
Both Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Nepal itself have long shirked the confines of "either/or." Hybrid traditions are a fixture of life and culture in Nepal, as people may even identify as Hindu and Buddhist at the same time. Genesis, along with h/er late wife Lady Jaye, underwent physical alterations to create an elective and creative gender identity through their practice of Pandrogeny. The idea of identifying as both sides of a categorical option resonates with Nepalese approaches to identity and religion, as well as with Breyer P-Orridge's own artistic practice, grounded in devotion and ritual.
Incorporating new works produced in Nepal, Try to Altar Everything will also give visitors opportunities to personally interact with the artist and engage with the provocative themes of self-expression and devotion.
Curated by Beth Citron
Try to Altar Every Thing is a new, site-specific artwork by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge that incorporates small personal offerings from visitors. These objects will be arranged and rearranged throughout the gallery by the artist for the length of the exhibition. The installation enacts the concepts of devotion, exchange, and community that are at the heart of the artist's multidisciplinary practice. Breyer P-Orridge invites visitors to participate in the ongoing creation of the piece by bringing offerings in exchange for a limited edition of one thousand hand-crafted "psychic cross" pendants designed by the artist and produced in Kathmandu, Nepal. During the exhibition the community of visitor participants and the installation will evolve. Breyer P-Orridge plans to rearrange, re-install, and add h/er own objects to the installation of visitor offerings. The continual evolution of this work speaks to the artist's unending curiosity; h/er goal to alter everything, including expectations of how people and objects should look and act; and h/er interest in revealing that every person and thing can be made sacred.
The exchange begins opening night (March 11) from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and will continue throughout the duration of the exhibition. The first one thousand participants will receive a "psychic cross" pendant in exchange for their offering, and these contributions will be included in the installation. Additional offerings will also be accepted and may be included in the installation at the discretion of the artist. See the restrictions below before you bring your offering to the admissions desk.
Please note, offerings must be no larger than two-by-three inches. The following materials will NOT be accepted: weapons, ammunitions, explosives, lighters, matches, drugs, food, liquids, knives, scissors, blades, candles, chemicals, human remains, ashes, bodily fluids, human by-products, body parts, teeth, live or dead animals, and organic materials such as plants, dirt, etc. All offerings will be accepted or declined at the discretion of the Rubin Museum staff and will not be returned.

For those of you who missed it, happy to share the full video of the "Art Workings" panel I moderated for "Language of the Birds," which is now available on Artforum's website. It was a great honor to get to speak with esoteric art luminaries Susan Aberth, Jesse Bransford, and William Breeze, and we discussed surrealism, art as spellcraft, the occult, and other related topics. Our original intention to give a bit of a walking tour through the exhibition was waylaid due to the wonderfully large turnout, so we shifted format a bit, beginning with lectures from each speaker, then conversation, and finally audience Q&A. A splendid night all around.

Lizz Lopez, work in progress, 2016
It's hard to believe that nearly two months have passed since shining shapeshifter David Bowie left the material plane. I'm still processing the grief and the gratitude, and I'm sure many of you are in the same boat. This thoughtful Saint Bowie exhibition opening tomorrow at Stephen Romano Gallery is just what the cosmic doctor ordered. It's a collection of altars, reliquaries, and other devotional imagery of the Starman, done by contemporary artists to honor him and say goodbyes through the medium which he considered his "stable nourishment." Proceeds from the show will go to Shadhika, a non-profit that fights for gender equality for girls in India. Full details:

Jesse Bransford "Rood Cross" 2016
Very happy that Jesse Bransford and Max Razdow's project, "The Veil of Dreams," will be on view at the SPRING/BREAK art show this week. This is the latest iteration of their co-dreaming artxperiment, wherein they used the mythology, magick, and geography of Iceland as a portal for collaborative art-making, as well as a conduit for their own individual creations. If you missed earlier versions, or if you want to see how their Third Mind mapping has evolved over the last several years, then you should absolutely make time to stop by the show and bask in their wondrous Northern-lit conjurations:
March 1 - 7, 2016
The Veil of Dreams - a collaborative project by Jesse Bransford and Max Razdow, completed over a six month period in 2014, wherein the artists ritually traced their dreams and created drawings, sculptures, photographs and a 300+ page facsimile of their dream and travel journals.
Tickets for SPRING/BREAK Art Show are available here.

Are you looking for relief from pain associated with TMJ? Or an alternative to a cumbersome CPAP? A comprehensive evaluation is the first step toward freedom. Read more about our services below.
Snoring often deprives the brain of oxygen and deprives others of restful sleep. Snoring has been shown to contribute to carotid artery calcification's and frequently progresses to Sleep Apnea, a life-shortening condition in both men and women. But you can alleviate snoring with custom oral appliances and protect against developing Sleep Apnea.
Apnea (stopping of breathing while sleeping) increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) and high blood pressure among other serious conditions. Sleep Apnea may lead to early death from the many related diseases. We provide comfortable, custom oral appliances as an alternative to CPAP.
Clicking, popping, grinding, sounds of a joint self-destructing may be signs of TMJ disorder. It can lead to constant pain, headaches and migraines, ear pain and an inability to chew or open your mouth. Dr. Barnes is both credentialed and experienced in non-surgical treatment of TMJ disorders. Don't wait until it hurts.

Can TMJ problems make my ears to feel full? Yes. The TMJ or Temporo -Mandibular-Joint, or TMJ is positioned just…
Dr. Mark Barnes and his team were a huge help to our family when our son suddenly experienced severe TMJ symptoms (jaw locking). With very little time before our son had to leave for summer camp, Dr. Barnes and his staff thoroughly assessed the problem and made a mouthpiece to be worn at night. This device worked like a charm and continues to entirely manage our son's TMJ issue. In addition, when it was time for our son's wisdom teeth to be extracted, Dr. Barnes consulted with the oral surgeon to ensure that the procedure would not aggravate the condition. That also went off without a hitch. We wholeheartedly recommend TMJ Sleep Solutions! We felt very well cared for by Dr. Barnes and his detail oriented and highly responsive (emails on the week-ends!) staff! Gratefully,
"I have had many wonderful experiences with the care and service received from Dr. Barnes and his office. I have referred many of my colleagues and family members and will continue to do so."
"Dr. Barnes and his staff are always courteous, timely and professional. I would unreservedly recommend them." -
After suffering with a prolonged mono diagnosis it was discovered that I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea which was treated with a CPAP machine for over 3 years. I finally became intolerant of the CPAP machine and how cumbersome it was to travel with so I came to Dr. Barnes to try othotic appliance therapy. Since starting therapy with the oral device I am able to achieve deep REM sleep nightly and it has eradicated my daytime sleepiness and the need for a daily two hour nap. I now bike regularly and feel 30 years younger thanks to the deep restorative sleep I am able to achieve with my oral appliance. I feel cured in more ways than one; it's truly been a lifesaver.

New Arizona booster-seat law takes effect next week
Arizona children under the age of 8 will be required to ride in a car seat next week, when a new law goes into effect.
Until now, Arizona was one of only three states without a booster-seat law. That changes Aug. 2, when the amended law takes effect.
"The new provision will require children younger than 8 years old or less than 4 feet 9 inches tall to sit in a child-safety seat, such as a booster seat, when riding in a vehicle," said Stephanie Dembowski with Triple-A Arizona.
According to Dembowski, there is a good reason for the law.
"The 5-year-olds to 8-year-olds who were killed in car crashes died because they were not properly restrained," she said. "We do know that they say lives and this updated law, without a doubt, is going to make a difference on our roads."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, proper use of a safety seat can reduce a child's fatality risk up to 71 percent.

Written economically and informally, it's packed with information beginning runners and walkers need, from stretching and shoe selection to injury prevention. The heart of the program is an easy-to-follow schedule that starts slow (run 30 seconds, then walk 4:30, and repeat seven times your first day) and builds every week. The plan is flexible, simple, and requires nothing more than a watch, a pair of shoes, and your commitment to yourself three times per week. If you're completely sedentary, you can start with the 13-week walk program to build your stamina before taking on running. And there's an intermediate program, when you're done with your first 13 weeks of running and looking for the "next cut."
At the end of thirteen weeks, I was running 65 minutes without stopping, I had shed 35 pounds, I avoided injury and felt BETTER than when I started. I was having FUN! I realized that completing the program was about far more than running -- I had a grip on my destiny, and I was participating in life, not just watching everyone else. I realized, in my bones, that I can do ANYTHING, and breathing hard three times a week seemed a small price to pay for that. Now I look forward to my runs, and haven't missed a running day since I started over a year ago, and all 85 extra pounds are gone for good. If you're committed to yourself, this book is the tool you need.
I bought this book on the high recommendation of my brother and sister-in-law. I was interested in starting to run (ok, jog) again after many years off, with 3 kids in the interim and passing the 40 year mark. I was worried about injury, nagging knee probs and shin splints that have always haunted me. They assured me that this books' main premise was injury prevention. They especially liked that it started out really slow and built up as your muscles and ligs and joints got stronger. Great. Just what I need. He talked about starting at 30 sec. run, 4 1/2 min walk as many of the reviewers here have. I thought - a little slow but better than injuries and discouragement. I ordered the book. This "new, improved" edition (the previous edition has a red cover with running shoes) has a drastically different program with no explanations for, or even mention of, the changes. Even the Editor Review on Amazon doesn't mention it, only that it has some new chapters. By way of example, the first week in this program starts with segments of running 1 min, walking 2 mins (vs. segments of 30 sec. running and 4 1/2 mins walking). Twice as much running with half the recovery time! Both programs get you to the same point after 13 weeks but at no point do they converge. These are not slight modifications but seemingly completely different programs. The programs in the old edition seem to be less intense but the overall workout duration is longer (averages). This new edition is more intense with shorter workouts.
Author, publisher - please explain the changes!
Do I go with tried and true or new and improved???Read more ›
I used it to prepare for the Peachtree Road Race here in Atlanta. Its a wonderful program and there is even an additional 13 week 'intermediate' program to help you continue the process along with a lot of other fun tips and tricks!
If you want to start a running program, get your hands on this book today!

The introduction to volume 1 is devoted to the definition of the basic terms used in the legends which accompany the roentgenograms depicted. The pulmonary, segmental, and lymphatic anatomy is briefly but adequately reviewed. The major portion of this work is an atlas of roentgenograms with accompanying explanations which depict the various stages and forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. The serial film studies are particularly instructive. Some of these predate the chemotherapeutic era, whereas others show the effects of specific chemotherapy. On occasion the roentgenograms are supplemented by bronchoscopic findings or autopsy material. Representative roentgenograms of osseous tuberculosis are also presented. The differential diagnosis of tuberculosis in children from the radiologic standpoint is also dealt with. The indications, contraindications, complications, and method of bronchoscopy and bronchography are discussed in detail. This volume should be of general interest, but it is of particular value to radiologists, pediatricians, and physicians interested in pulmonary

Editorial: White-water park worth time for more study
The froth of excitement surrounding a possible white-water park near downtown Spokane hid the painstaking process it takes to turn such a dream into a reality. Now the project is at low ebb because the state has taken back a vital $530,000 grant, citing a lack of progress.
However, this exciting venture is still worth pursuing, so we hope the state agency in charge of disbursing such grants will take into consideration the complications that have arisen and give the city another extension.
First, the state should know that City Hall administration, the City Council and the Park Board remain supportive. Friends of the Falls, the nonprofit group that developed the concept of bringing kayakers, tourists and onlookers to the Spokane River Gorge, has maintained its enthusiasm and has raised nearly all the private funds needed for construction (provided the state grant is returned).
Second, the state needs to consider that its own regulatory agencies haven't been quite sure how to deal with a white-water park and its impacts because it is the first of its kind in the state.
Third, the stakeholders were tossed a significant curveball two years ago when an issue arose over how a park would affect the spawning of native redband trout. Anglers had raised general concerns about the effects on fishing, and project designers met with them, the Spokane Tribe and regulators to redesign the project to make it more fish-friendly. But no survey of spawning habitat had been conducted.
So then-City Planning Director Leroy Eadie, acting as the lead official under the State Environmental Policy Act, determined that the city didn't have enough information to dismiss the concern and called for a study. Shortly thereafter, Eadie was named the director of the Parks Board, which is the entity that would have to agree to and oversee an environmental impact study before a shoreline permit could be issued. Some members wanted to appeal Eadie's SEPA ruling, but ultimately the board agreed to a study.
Eadie also needed time to gauge whether political support still existed in the wake of the trout issue. He eventually secured those assurances.
An ongoing Avista survey of spawning beds helped cement support for the city's impact study because it found many spawning beds, including in and around the whitewater park site, near Sandifur Bridge. It is possible that the park's impact could be mitigated at Sandifur Bridge. Barring that, the site could be changed. That's what the city's study would determine.
Because of all of this, little of the state's grant money had been spent, and the city requested and was given a six-month extension. Now it needs another one to conduct the study.
We understand the concern of the state Recreation and Conservation Funding Board. Not much has happened in four years. But we hope that at the June 23 appeals hearing, the state board will consider the complications that have arisen and return the grant.
In rewarding the money in the first place, the state board acknowledged the project's worthiness. That value remains, and the city and Friends of the Falls are eager to demonstrate it.

They may not find much meaning in the birth of Jesus Christ, but many atheists embrace religious traditions such as churchgoing for the sake of the children, a new study finds.
In the last few years atheists have become seriously organized, mobilized, visible, vocal and unapologetic about their atheism.
After lobbying from international groups, an Afghan woman who was raped by a relative and given a 12-year jail sentence has been pardoned by President Hamid Karzai.
The wonderful irony must be the precise reasoning behind the symbol of The Out Campaign. The themes of pariahdom articulated in the pages of Nathaniel Hawthorne's timeless novel mirror the mentality many atheists face today. The decision to reject a personal god (or the concepts of god/religion altogether) is typically viewed in the same damning light that poor Hester suffered due to her unchristian behaviors. Unfortunately, it is the rejectors of these foolish fairy tales and archaic paranormalities that are deemed the weird ones. Funny that those who come to religious decisions based on direct studying of the evidence are the ones looked at strangely.
One hypothesis for the origin of religion is that it's a kind of "costly signaling" - a way for people to prove their loyalty to the group by participating in complex rituals and extravagant shows of devotion. But there's an underappreciated danger to this: when everyone in a community already follows a strict interpretation of faith, religious belief will have a tendency to spiral out of control into extremism, as group members go to greater and greater lengths to express their piety. And when religion grows more and more fanatical, while it's bad for everyone forced to live under its dictates, it's inevitably women who suffer the most.
Conservapedia has published (what they call) an essay, titled, "Capisizing people's evolutionary views via 15 questions," which attempts to explore why evolutionists (or, those who believe evolution) are just dead wrong in their understanding of how the world works.
Unlike science, which goes where the evidence and analysis indicate and is anti-mythical in nature, religion is inherently dogmatic and opinion based, with myths being integral to the system. One of these myths, widely held by nearly all theists as well as many skeptics of the supernatural, is that science cannot be used to address and answer many core issues of religious belief. In this view rational, objective science and faith-based religion are separate magisteria that are equally legitimate thought systems, and that cannot profoundly comment upon one another. As popular as this view is – in part because it offers a politically correct means of avoiding awkward conflict between the scientific and religious realms – it is demonstrably false.
TORONTO – Canadians are split on the question of whether religion does more harm than good in the world, according to a new poll conducted by Ipsos Reid.
A rabbi, a descendant of Charles Darwin, a philosopher and a scholar face off over religion in the latest Intelligence Squared U.S. debate.
Most people - certainly most atheists - would say that one of the biggest problems with religion is that conflict you get when religion divides people who share a particular part of the world.
Before John Lennon imagined "living life in peace," he conjured "no heaven … / no hell below us …/ and no religion too."
The 2012 elections will be watched by every American coast to coast, and while the Presidential race is at the top of everyone's list, there is something going on in the state of Florida that could have a ripple effect on everyone else.
It's called "Florida Religious Freedom", or Amendment 7. If passed, the amendment would allow taxpayer money to be used to fund religious organizations.
14,000 daughters. Fourteen thousand women is a lot of victims of human trafficking.
In fact I'm wrong. I should write 14,000 females. Many of these 14,000 are girls, not yet women, girls often trafficked as sex workers -- a kind of 21st Century slavery. Many of these 14,000 victims are beaten, others raped. Many become pregnant, others contract HIV.
A recent New York Times article profiled African Americans who don't believe in God or who have eschewed the faith that many assume is central to the black experience. What does the apparent rise in atheism and agnosticism (pdf) among blacks tell us about the utility of religion for African Americans in today's social and political climate? Interviews with academics, activists and advocates from everywhere on the religious spectrum reveal the diversity of views on this historically fraught -- and, for many, highly personal -- topic.
A rabbi, a descendant of Charles Darwin, a philosopher and a scholar face off over religion in the latest Intelligence Squared U.S. debate.
Today in hateration news: people really, really don't trust atheists. In a new study, the only group participants found as untrustworthy as nonbelievers were rapists.
Ultra-Orthodox 'Torah Declaration' Calls For Ex-Gay Therapy For All Who 'Struggle' With Homosexuality
A group of ultra-Orthodox Jewish leaders have secretly passed around a "Torah Declaration" on "The Torah Stance on Homosexuality." It rebukes homosexuality as being "not an acceptable lifestyle or a genuine identity" and assumes that gays are by definition "unable to find happiness in a loving relationship." To abide by the Torah, the Declaration stridently demands ex-gay therapy, including of teenagers, to repair "childhood emotional wounds":
David Fitzgerald on the Mormons, at Skepticon 4 :
My articles of 21st-century faith have met with little enthusiasm. That may mean the common ground lies in a different area.
The Iowa forum was a triumph of the union of psychobabble and public religiosity that has come to dominate American politics.
Is the United States sliding toward theocracy? That's what Republican presidential candidates have told us for more than a year. Radical Islam, they've argued, is on the verge of taking over our country through Sharia law.
1. It is likely that state and federal holidays coincide with my religious practices, thereby having little to no impact on my job and/or education...
You can tell politicians are getting nervous. They're playing the "In God We Trust" card again.
Via Religulous
The number of organizations engaged in religious lobbying or religion-related advocacy in Washington, D.C., has increased roughly fivefold in the past four decades, from fewer than 40 in 1970 to more than 200 today. These groups collectively employ at least 1,000 people in the greater Washington area and spend at least $390 million a year on efforts to influence national public policy.
Good news from Michigan! The state legislature is moving toward anti-bullying legislation that does not include an exemption for religiously motivated harassment.

Book Announcement: Shakespeare's Symmetries
The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 27.188 Tuesday, 24 May 2016
Date: May 11, 2016 at 11:14:38 AM EDT
Subject: Book Announcement: Shakespeare's Symmetries
I am pleased to announce the publication of my book, Shakespeare's Symmetries: The Mirrored Structure of Action in the Plays.
The book demonstrates that the mature plays are structured chiastically (ABCDCBA), usually with thematic actions as the repeated elements, one to each scene. Shakespeare's use of chiasmus in sentences, speeches and scenes has been widely remarked, and some chiastic pairings between scenes have been noticed, especially when those pairs flank the central scene: the murders of Caesar and Cinna in Julius Caesar, Coriolanus's two denunciations of the tribunes in Coriolanus, the wrong choices of Portia's first two suitors in The Merchant of Venice, etc. This mirrored pairing of actions occurs not only in the central flanking scenes but between all corresponding scenes of the first and second halves of mature plays. The basis of the pairing is not always obvious, for the completed, repeated or contrasting actions may be reported or narrated rather than enacted. For example, Cominius is embraced by Coriolanus in one early scene and in the corresponding later scene reports that he has been rebuffed by Coriolanus. And in some later plays the connection is even less evident. In Cymbeline, for instance, the change in Posthumus is expressed metaphorically: he is a "flyer" in the third scene and a "stander" in the third-last scene. The structure has gone unnoticed because of the subtlety of the reflections.
This arch-like thematic structure resolves a number of perennial problems, including questions of scene division, the number and placement of scenes, and the structural logic of puzzling plays like Cymbeline. The "thematic arch" explains, for example, the scene divisions in Folio Measure for Measure, Folio 2 Henry IV and other plays whose scene designations are routinely changed. It also suggests—to take one other vexing issue—that the twenty-seven scenes of Folio Macbeth should remain unchanged and that the first Hecate scene contains a non-Middletonian portion that reflects Macbeth's speech in the corresponding scene and should therefore be retained. Most importantly, the thematic arch illuminates Shakespeare's constructive practice and reveals the underlying consistency even of such apparently dissimilar works as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Antony and Cleopatra.
The book is available from McFarland & Company. (http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-1-4766-6370-8).
