THE THEOLOGY OF APOSTASY= MAQUETTE FOR A NEW SPIRITUAL ORDER/LA THEOLOGIE DE L'APOSTASIE= MAQUETTE POUR UN NOUVEL ORDRE SPIRITUEL

THE KEYS OF THE LOUVRE

The day the Louvre gave me the keys of the Museum for three months. The Director greeted me with the easel of Cezanne on the desk and kindly shared with me the archives that they had on each copist since August 1793= Picasso was fist fighting all the time, thrown out and begging to come back in. Dali asked to copy an old master painting, he stared to the painting for a long time and started painting a lobster. My favorite memory was to arrive very early in the morning and roll my easel half a mile on the wood floor of the empty Museum. After 3 month the director asked me to show the painting. So on Tuesday when the Museum is closed the entire staff of the Louvre gathered in front of the painting for 30 minutes before it left.

THE HEAD OF THE VOID I

UN POEME MYSTIQUE

    LE DIEU NOIR

                                   

   L' Eclipse des dieux dans le ciel d'un jaune bilieux

     A enfonce' dans le cadavre de la religion un pieu

      L' Eclipse theologique a entenebre' le monde

      Elle a eclabousse' de sang la foi moribonde 

Mais cet Astre noir

Affirme le poete dans un or, vert et noir peignoir

C'est Dieu lui-meme

Cette Etoile noire est des idoles le requiem

C'est l'Abime d'en haut qui rayonne

C'est la nouvelle verite' qui carillonne

C' est le Neant illuminant

Des dieux agonisants

C'est le nouveau Mystere

Et des anciennes religions le cimetiere

C'est la lumiere noire

C'est le grand rayon du desespoir

Emanant du gouffre divin

C'est le saint delire Abyssin

Ce sont les rayons noirs du Neant

Adorons ce nouveau Dieu Noir maintenant

Car c'est le soleil d'en bas

C'est le Mystere du tres-bas

   Adorons ce nouveau Dieu noir ici-bas

Car il n'y a point de la-bas

Car c'est lui qui refermera l'Abime

De nos extases sous-marines

Dans le ciel incolore

Les dieux sont morts

Et je benirai cet Abime stupefiant

Car j'ai cathedralise' le Neant!

NEW MODEL ALVIN AILEY DANCE THEATER NEW-YORK

I am very excited to have for new model the legendary dancer from Alvin Ailey New-York company Andre Tyson. We have been wanting to work together for many years. Andre Tyson is joining my team of extraordinary models. I very carefully select, I want them to be sculpture in real life so is Andre Tyson a walking masterpiece that will soon be the model for many new creations.

A THEOLOGICAL POEM

This is one of the thing in my life I am most proud of. When I was 17 years old I was in philosophy class and my teacher carried under his arm a book. The year 1987 is the year I discovered philosophy. I followed my teacher in the corridors of the school to write down the title of the book he was holding under his arm. A book freshly published that a author sent to him. The same year I got one of the highest grade of my school in philosophy. The next year in 1988 I enroll to the university of the Sorbonne in philosophy where the author of this book was teaching. He gave me the highest grade of the University. His name is Andre' Comte-Sponville and he is today considered in France as the most important philosopher since Jean-Paul Sartre. I have been writing a book of philosophy since I am 17 years old. It was always my dream to write a big religious poem. I today have achieved this, my manuscript is a more than 300 pages long philosophical poem. It took three decades to write it because I wanted the book to write its self and also I wanted the book to be a complete philosophical system.Today my manuscript is almost finished and will be discussed by the world's greatest theologians at the American Academy of Religion later this month, the oldest gathering of theologians in America since 1909. It is not just a book of philosophy it lays the foundational principles of a new theology. These 30 years of contemplation were very worthwhile, I spent the most beautiful hours of my life writing this long theological poem. The University of Loyola Marymount will present the lecture and Harvard University will answer.

HISTORY BOOK PUBLISHED

Extraordinary feeling today to be in an history book. A book has been published in Germany called UTOPIAN AESTHETICS beautifully written by art historian Felicitas Ehrhardt about the history of a monastery/artist studio. It happens to be the studio where I lived and work for 4 years. Leonardo da Vinci, Wagner, Strauss, Bocklin, Fusseli, Henri James they all stayed and worked in this mysterious monastery where I conceived my Triptych The Religion of Atheism.

INTERVIEW WITH THE SICILIAN POST IN ENGLISH

This is the English version of my interview with the Sicilian Post. The Italian newspaper has published the interview both in Italian and in english. This is a beautiful article where the journalist defines my aesthetic as a theology without God. This is the English version:
