Brainard Carey is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: The Alchemical World and Artists by Ann McCoy
Time: Feb 6, 2021 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Meeting ID: 932 3238 1252
This is the second free lecture in an introduction to alchemy as an inner voyage of transformation, and a psychological and spiritual quest. There will be an emphasis on how artists are engaged in the process. This lecture will be on the Rubedo. or ‘red’ stage which can involve blood, the phoenix, and the rose. For contemporary artists like Hermann Nitsch, the ‘red’ process has involved the creation of rituals pulled from the mists of antiquity, and experienced through
catharsis. Redness as Eros, passion, and pneuma (spirit), move this lecture from the chalice to the the Orgien Mysterien Theater of Nitsch.
Ann McCoy is a New York-based sculptor, painter, and art critic, and Editor at Large for the Brooklyn Rail.
She was awarded a 2019 John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. She lectured on art history, the history of projection, and mythology in the graduate design section of the Yale School of Drama until May 2020, and taught in the Art History Department at Barnard College from 1980 through 2000. She studied alchemy with Jung’s main disciple C.A.Maier in Zurich for twenty eight years.
