Alex Grey was born in Columbus, Ohio on November 29, 1953 (Sagittarius), the middle child of a gentle middle-class couple. His father was a graphic designer and encouraged his son's drawing ability. Young Alex would collect insects and dead animals from the suburban neighborhood and bury them in the back yard. The themes of death and transcendence weave throughout his artworks, from the earliest drawings to later performances, paintings and sculpture. He went to the Columbus College of Art and Design for two years (1971-73), then dropped out and painted billboards in Ohio for a year (73-74). Grey then attended the Boston Museum School for one year, to study with the conceptual artist, Jay Jaroslav. At the Boston Museum School he met his wife, the artist, Allyson Rymland Grey. During this period he had a series of entheogenically induced mystical experiences which transformed his agnostic existentialism to a radical transcendentalism. The Grey couple would trip together on LSD. Alex then spent five years at Harvard Medical School working in the Anatomy department studying the body and preparing cadavers for dissection. He also worked at Harvard's department of Mind/Body Medicine with Dr. Herbert Benson and Dr. Joan Borysenko conducting scientific experiments to investigate subtle healing energies. Alex's anatomical training prepared him for painting the Sacred Mirrors (explained below) and for doing medical illustration. When doctors saw his Sacred Mirrors, they asked him to do illustration work. Grey was an instructor in Artistic Anatomy and Figure Sculpture for ten years at New York University, and now teaches courses in Visionary Art with Allyson at The Open Center in New York City, Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado and Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. In 1972 Grey began a series of art actions which bear resemblance to rites of passage, in that they present stages of a developing psyche. The approximately fifty performance rites, conducted over the last twenty five years move through transformations from an egocentric to more sociocentric and increasingly worldcentric and theocentric identity. Grey's unique series of 21 life-sized paintings, the Sacred Mirrors, take the viewer on a journey toward their own divine nature by examining, in detail, the body, mind, and spirit. The Sacred Mirrors, present the physical and subtle anatomy of an individual in the context of cosmic, biological and technological evolution. Begun in 1979, the series took a period of ten years to complete. It was during this period that he developed his depictions of the human body that "x-ray" the multiple layers of reality, and reveal the interplay of anatomical and spiritual forces. After painting the Sacred Mirrors, he applied this multidimensional perspective to such archetypal human experiences as praying, meditation, dying, kissing, copulating, pregnancy, birth and nursing. Renowned healers Olga Worral and Rosalyn Bruyere have expressed appreciation for the skillful portrayal of clairvoyant vision his paintings of translucent glowing bodies. Grey's paintings have been featured in venues as diverse as the album art of TOOL, the Beastie Boys and Nirvana, Newsweek magazine, the Discovery Channel, Rave flyers and sheets of blotter acid. His work has been exhibited worldwide, including Feature Inc., Tibet House, Stux Gallery, The Outsider Art Fair and the New Museum in NYC, the Grand Palais in Paris, the Sao Paulo Biennial in Brazil. Alex has been a keynote speaker at conferences all over the world including Tokyo, Amsterdam, Basel, Barcelona and Manaus. A large installation called Heart Net by Alex and his wife, Allyson, was displayed at Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum in 1998-99. A mid-career retrospective of Grey's works was exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego in 1999. The large format art book, Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey has been translated into five languages and has sold over seventy-five thousand copies, unusual for an art book. His inspirational book, The Mission of Art, traces the evolution of human consciousness through art history, exploring the role of an artist's intention and conscience, and reflecting on the creative process as a spiritual path. His most recent book, released fall of 2001, entitled Transfigurations, is Alex's second large format monograph containing over 300 color and black & white images of Grey's work. Sounds True has released, The Visionary Artist, an audiotape of Grey's reflections on art as a spiritual practice. ARTmind is the artist's recent video exploring the healing potential of Sacred Art. Grey co-edited the book, Zig Zag Zen: Buddhism and Psychedelics (Chronicle Books, 2002). He lives in New York City with his wife, the painter, Allyson Grey and their daughter, the actress, Zena Grey. Alex Grey -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Grey spent several years employed in a medical school morgue preparing cadavers and studying the human anatomy. During this period he began having a series of mystical experiences which transformed his agnostic existentialism to a radical transcendentalism. During the 1970s and 80s Grey did numerous performances and sculptural installations based on his visions. Grey's unique series of 21 life-sized paintings, the Sacred Mirrors, examine, in detail, physical and metaphysical anatomy of the individual. Begun in 1979, the series took a period of ten years to complete. After painting the Sacred Mirrors, Grey applied this multidimensional perspective to painted visions of crucial human experiences such as praying, kissing, copulating, pregnancy, birth and dying. Grey portrays the body as translucent, revealing complex anatomical systems and interwoven with glowing subtle energies visible to clairvoyants. Viewers recognize in his work a glimpse into the subtle spiritual archetypal domains of awareness. Many of these works of art are reproduced in Grey's book, Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey, published by Inner Traditions and now available in five languages. Grey has an expansive audience outside of the traditional art world. His work has been included in the album art of such popular rock groups as Nirvana and the Beastie Boys and a book of songs by the Talking Heads. The underground Techno Rave culture has extensively sampled Grey's art, using it to promote all-night dance events. Grey's vision of the human psychic anatomy has been used by the Chairman of the Department of Alternative Medicine at the National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C., who uses it in his international slide lectures. Healers, body workers and "new age" figures including Matthew Fox, Joan Borysenko and Deepak Chopra have all used his work to describe the dimensions of body, mind and spirit. Grey's artwork has been exhibited worldwide, including Stux Gallery and the New Museum in NYC, the Grand Palais in Paris, the Sao Paulo Biennial in Brazil, the Centro Culturale Zittele in Venice, Italy, University Galleries of the University of Illinois, and La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles. A major exhibition of Grey's work was held at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in the spring of 1999. Grey was featured in a television program about the brain, mind and creativity on the Discovery Channel. He has been a keynote speaker at the International Transpersonal Association and numerous Art and Healing conferences. Articles and reviews about Grey's work have appeared in art journals and several spiritual and new age magazines. Grey has been an instructor in Artistic Anatomy and Figure Sculpture for nine years at New York University, and also teaches courses in Visionary Art with his artist wife at The Open Center in New York City, Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado and Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York.

Another good option is to fly into Milano. Locarno is the closest airport, but it is small, so not sure is they have international flights.

the best psydecor sem sombra pra duvidas

ah ah ah é como eu digo vcs teem uma ideia sobre o islam k na é a verdadeira mas tb na vou perder + do meu tempo porque na vale a pena...

humm acabo de falar com o Device e ele diz k os tugas ja nao vaum la tokar :toosad: é pena pois o povo ia se divertir com toda a certeza...

já esta na rua ...

mai nada tal komo uma spiral .....

respeito todas as vossas opnioes ... eu so digo lá por uma pessoa k se diz ser muslim matar, beber, fumar etc,etc... na falem sobre o islam falem sobre essa pessoa porque como ja disse existem bons e mau e kualker comunidade ou religiao . eu so fiz este topico pra tentar abrir os olhos do ppl pra uma realidade mas cada um sabe de si e Deus sabe de todos , no final vamos ver como é

Sim o profeta nasceu em 570 dc nasceu na tribo Quraysh .O seu pai morreu alguns meses antes do seu nascimento e a sua mae morreu 6 meses dp do profeta nascer , ele foi entao criado por o seu avo Abdul Muttalib , k morreu passado 2 anos e foi entao k o seu tio Abu Talib (a pedido do seu pai Abdul Muttalib) criou o jovem Muhammad(Que a Paz Esteija com Ele) . As revelacoes foraum sempre feitas ao profeta Muhammad (que a paz esteija com ele)mais tarde instruidas a alguns dos seus companheiros a escrever as revelacoes em kualker tipo de material e algum k tinhaum boa memoria decoraum a uma pessoa k decora o Al-corao chama-se Hafiz (huffaz) e ainda hoje existem pessoas com este titulo (é klaro k o profeta foi o primeiro) o profeta tb recebeu ordens do anjo Gabriel de qual a ordem deveriaum ter os versos , estes companheiros juntamente com a 1a mulher do profeta Khadijah foraum os primeiros muslims . diz-me como as revelacoes sofreraum a censura uma vez k estas foraum transcritas desses proprios manuescritos do tempo do Profeta... existe ainda hoje originais desses manuescritos (no british museum por exemplo) sim é verdade k a revelacao durou 23 anos da vida do profeta é verdade k ele emigrou ( gracas ao seu inimigos k tudo fizeraum pra calar o profeta {por k será} inimigos esses de sua maioria judiaca ou pagan ) e atencao nao foraum escritas depois da morte do profeta foraum transcritas e compiladas da maior pra mais pekena... dizes ai k o corao é inquestionavel , nao é verdade qualquer muslim tem o direito de questionar mas nao o de duvidar ... A JIHAD (é a guerra santa contra tudo k esta mal ) isso numca existiu a JIHAD é fruto de mal intrepertacao do corao e so vai acontecer no final dos tempo quando o profeta Isha (jesus) descer a terra pra ai acabar com tudo k esta mal ou seija pra verdadeira JIHAD... O Corao nao pode ser intrepertado como era a 1400 anos atras (numca podera ser ) nem vai ser intrepertado da forma k é hoje daki a 1400 anos (exmplo) esse é um erro crucial e é o k da origem a grupos extremistas ... Qualquer ser humano sabe a difrenca entre o bem e o mal... o corao é simplesmente um guia um meio de orientacao ... k fike bem claro k eu nao estou aki a fazer estes post pra converter ninguem ... quando dizes k na ha uma ponta de tolerancia no islam eu sou obrigado a perguntar-te se sabes kuais sao os 5 pilares do islam . so te peco k me digas em k verso do corao esta escrito essas barbaridades k dizes sobre o crime de falta de castidade . se te mete nojo como tu ai dizes pra min é igual O profeta era um ser humano (e nao um ser divino ) tal como é normal k tenha tido pecados ate ha uma historia k diz k em ves de ser o anjo Gabriel a fazer a revelacao (por via sonora) o ex-anjo Ibliss (satan) deu falsa informacao ao profeta e este sem saber pregou sobre essa mm revelacao , ate chegar a casa e o anjo Gabriel Perguntar-lhe se o k ele pregou era realmente a verdade sobre Allah , e ele logicamente respondeu k nao . essa historia curiosa foi a base dos tais versiculos satanicos Gostava so k tu me falases sobre a matematica sobre a medecina sobre a ciencia e ate sobre o papel onde tu escreves diariamente etc... kem é k trouxe isso pra comunidade mundial ??? e vou te so dizer uma vez mais k eu ainda nao sou MUSLIM como ja escrevi em varios post`s neste topico mas Inch`Allah (Oxalá) um dia vou ser e sim conheco o livro de N.J.Dawood k foi editado por penguin classics k teve a sua ultima publicacao no ano de 1993 mas esse livro é uma intrepertacao o arabe nao pode ser traduzido(a 100%) pra nenhuma lingua pode sim ser intrepertado e foi o k este senhor fez procura ler mais livros sobre este assunto(em particular a historia de memorizadores profissionais k este livro fala) e vais ver k na é bem assim posso te dar varios exemplos tais como o livro de Syed Ali Ashraf , World Religions (publicado por Stanley thornes LTD em 1991) ou o livro Allah know through reason , escrito por Harun Yahya , e publicado e distribuido por Al-Risala The Islamic Centre http://www.alrisala.org etc, etc...... ah ja me eskecia so em dois capitulos do al-corao é k nao é deu k fala na primeira pessoa (um é o profeta e outro é o anjo Gabriel ) PEACE
