THE LORD IS BACK TO THE MONASTERY

 

The Lord is back to the monastery. No furnitures has changed since Richard Wagner and Cosima stayed here many times. I learned this morning that someone here has studied with C.S. Lewis in Oxford, which explains the Narniaesque feeling of this place. This is the only place in the world I call home.

THE INVISIBLE CATHEDRAL



 








LECTURE ON THE DEATH OF NIHILISM AT THE INSTITUTE OF METAPHYSICS

 






THE MAKING OF THE PORTAL



 The making of the Portal: before the Portal was installed at the Bombay Beach Biennale I worked on each panels separately, inserting the 22 heads of Nietzsche, Wagner, Heidegger, Altizer, engraving in subzero temperature the principles of my theology and translating my philosophy in Latin. It has been an eternal joy to create a sacred object that embodies the art of sculpture, 181 years of history of philosophy and the palpitating heart of my own theology. 30 years of meditation encompassed in 7 sentences elevated vertically in the religious desert of California.

MY NIETZSCHE HAS ARRIVED TO OXFORD UNIVERSITY



It is a great joy to be informed that my statue of Nietzsche has arrived to Oxford University in the office of the great philosopher Mark Wrathall who published a very important book last month called "The Cambrigde Heidegger Lexicon". This picture fills my heart with joy, I will let the philosopher him self describe it="Marc Vinciguerra magnificent rendering of Nietzsche has arrived today. It looks like the good Reverend Philpott is ambivalent about the new arrival but I could not be more thrilled. Marc is doing important work on nihilism and the sacred."

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.

LAST PICTURE IN MY ARTIST STUDIO



This is the last picture I took of me in my studio before I left for the quarantine. Man has far too much on his shoulders. We are all heroes. Sending love to everyone.
