«STAND FOR SOMETHING»

This year's theme for Black History Month is half of MALCOLM X's famous quote: "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything." For the entire month of February people and events commemorate the continuing journey towards freedom and dignity undertaken by black communities. As the activities for the month ahead were being presented we could recognize so many brilliant contributions from black people from all over.

«DÉFENDS TES CONVICTIONS.»

Cette année le thème pour le Mois de l'Histoire des Noirs  est une moitié du dicton célèbre de MALCOLM X : "Défends tes convictions." Pour tout le mois de février il y aura des événements pour commémorer le parcours continu vers la liberté et la dignité entammé par les communautés noires. Alors que les activités du mois à venir nous étaient présentées, nous pouvions reconnaître beaucoup de contributions brilliantes de la part de personnes noires de partout.

GREAT FOOD

Chef JOUVENS JEAN & Chef MONICK GILLES
photo © Lena Ghio 2015

On Thursday January 22nd 2015, I met with chef JOUVENS JEAN, who gained recognition after winning Chef Wanted and Cutthroat Kitchen competitions on the Food Network, and chef MONICK GILLES who made her name as an expert in Italian cuisine after working with well-known chef GRAZIELLA BATISTA before becoming chef at Restaurant Scarpetta. They were preparing for an exciting gourmet event that happened on January 23rd where they proposed to blend the flavors of Caribbean cuisine and Italian cuisine. I had to find out more about their process.

Serendipity played a part in how these two chefs united to explore a new world of flavors. First Jouvens Jean became a chef after accompanying a friend who wanted to sign up at a cooking academy in the US when he discovered his passion for cooking. Monick Gilles was devoted to Italian cuisine when a community center asked if she could provide them with some Island cooking for a special event that happened last fall. This led to the introduction of the two chefs who decided they would put their creativity to the test. Chef Gilles explained that they did not put the spices of the two nations in every dish they conjured up for the event but instead combined the flavors of the two cultures in a harmonious sequence that would allow the two distinct styles to be enjoyed as the flavors enhanced each serving. They accomplished this by focusing on certain foods both cultures employed like fish, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic to name a few.

Chef Jouvens Jean is preparing for a special culinary event to close Black History Month that will happen at the ballroom of the Grévin Montreal Museum on February 27th 2015. When I asked him about how he would work with his guest mystery chef, we agreed on the term "Jam Session of Cooking" where the two chefs will create unique dishes, like musicians improvise a set, for the very special occasion.

DE LA BONNE BOUFFE

Jeudi le 22 janvier 2015, j'ai rencontré le chef JOUVENS JEAN, qui s'est mérité de la reconnaissance en gagnant les compétitions Chef Wanted et Cutthroat Kitchen sur la chaine the Food Network, et chef MONICK GILLES qui a fait son nom comme experte en cuisine Italienne après avoir travaillé avec la  renommée chef GRAZIELLA BATISTA avant de devenir chef elle-même au Restaurant Scarpetta. Ils étaient en train de préparer une excitante soirée gourmet qui s'est déroulée le 23 janvier où ils proposaient de fusionner les saveurs des Antilles à celles de la cuisine Italienne. Il fallait que j'en sache plus sur leur processus.

Le hasard a joué un rôle dans comment ces deux chefs se sont unis pour faire l'exploration d'un nouveau monde de saveurs. Premièrement Jouvens Jean est devenu chef après avoir accompagné un ami qui voulait s'inscrire à une Académie culinare aux États-Unis quand il découvre qu'il a lui-même une passion pour faire de la cuisine.  Monick Gilles était dévouée à la cuisine Italienne quand un centre communautaire lui a demandé si elle pouvait leur préparer des mets  Antillais pour un événement spécial qui a eu lieu l'automne passée. Ceci a mené à l'introduction des deux chefs qui ont décidé de mettre leur créativité à l'épreuve. Chef Gilles m'a expliqué qu'ils ne mettent pas toutes les épices des deux nations dans les mêmes recettes mais que plutôt ils combinaient les saveurs des deux nations dans une séquence de plats harmonieuse qui rehausse les saveurs distinctes de chaque culture de service en service. Ils accomplissent cela en se concentrant sur les ingrédients de bases commun aux deux cultures tels les poissons, les piments, les tomates, et l'ail pour en nommer quelques-uns. 

Chef Jouvens Jean est en train de préparer un autre événement culinaire pour clôturer le Mois de l'Histoire Noire qui aura lieu dans la salle de bal du Musée Grévin de Montréal le 27 février 2015. Quand je lui ai demandé comment il fonctionnerait avec son chef invité spécial, on s'est mit d'accord sur l'expression "Jam Session of Cooking" alors que les deux chefs créeront de façon improvisée comme le font les musiciens des plats uniques pour l'occasion très spéciale.

Banner @ Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for Charlie Hebdo / Bannière au Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal pour Charlie Hebdo Liberté, je dessine ton nom   photo© Lena Ghio 2015 

The new year was a week old when a murderous tragedy united the world in the name of FREEDOM: two masked terrorists armed with AK47 kill:

Frédéric Boisseau, maintenance agent
Franck Brinsolaro, security agent
Jean Cabut, aka Cabu, draughtsman
Elsa Cayat, psychoanalyst and columnist
Stéphane Charbonnier, aka Charb, draughtsman
Philippe Honoré, aka Honoré, draughtsman
Bernard Maris, economist and columnist
Ahmed Merabet, police officer
Mustapha Ourrad, proofreader
Michel Renaud, retired director of mayoral offices of Clermont
Bernard Verlhac, aka Tignous, draughtsman
Georges Wolinski, draughtsman

JE SUIS CHARLIE swept the world in a tidal wave of grief and shock. At the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts artists and curators fought back with the same weapons as those used by CHARLIE HEBDO: ART. This huge banner is now part of a memorial to the daring team who would rather die than be silenced by fanatics presented at the Studios Art & Education Michel de la Chenelière. You are invited to come with your children to visit this homage and also to draw your feelings and reactions in the well equipped accommodations.

This horrific event happened on the eve of the exhibition commemorating the life and literary work of ANNE FRANK, a jewish teenager who lost her life in the second world war after having been trapped in a cellar with family and friends. Thanks to Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre you will get a glimpse into the life and times of this young authoress through a series of thirty illustrated panels and various artifacts. Thanks to TNM theatre that is presenting from January 13 to February 7 a play entitled Le journal d'Anne Frank you will see the set models and clothes design throughout the exhibit.

There are also 12 black and white photographs taken by LASZLO MEZEI a Hungarian born artist now living in Montreal. They represent what is left of the dreaded concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau on the 70th anniversary of its liberation by the allied forces. Although they capture perfectly the death cold of that infamous place, it is now sanitized compared to what the troops found in horrified dismay when they entered the camp 70 years ago. 

The exhibition is free, at Studios Art & Education Michel de la Chenelière and will go on until January 28 2015.

JE SUIS CHARLIE soulève le monde dans un ras de marée de peine et de choc. Au Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal les artistes et commissaires ont combattus avec les mêmes armes que celles de  CHARLIE HEBDO: L'ART. Cette immense bannière est une partie intégrale d'un mémorial à l'audacieuse équipe qui a préféré mourir que d'être silencé par des fanatiques présenté aux Studios Art & Education Michel de la Chenelière. Vous êtes invités a venir visiter cet hommage avec vos enfants et à y produire des dessins de vos sentiments et réactions dans les accomodations bien fournies. 

Cet événement horrifique est survenu la veille de l'exposition qui commémore la vie et l'oeuvre littéraire d' ANNE FRANK, une adolescente juive qui a perdue la vie lors de la seconde guerre mondiale après avoir passé des mois prisonnière dans un cellier avec sa famille et quelques amis.  Grâce au Centre Commémoratif de l'Holocauste à Montréal vous aurez un aperçu de l'époque et de la vie de cette jeune auteure par le biais d'une trentaine de panels illustrés et une variété d'artefact. Grâce au  Théâtre TNM   Le journal d'Anne Frank qui sera sur les planches du 13 janvier au 7 février, vous verrez les maquettes de la mise en scène et les dessins de costumes autour de l'exposition. 

Il y a aussi 12 photographies prisent par LASZLO MEZEI un artiste Hongrois qui vit à Montréal. Elles représentent ce qui reste du redouté camp de concentration Auschwitz-Birkenau pour le 70e anniversaire de sa libération par les forces alliées. Malgré qu'elles capturent parfaitement la froideur mortelle de cette place infâme, elle est maintenant aseptique comparée à ce que les troupes atterrées ont retrouvé quand ils ont pénétré le camp il y a 70 ans.

L'exposition est gratuite, elle se situe aux Studios Art & Education Michel de la Chenelière et se poursuit jusqu'au 28 janvier 2015.

Finally the Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension Phase 3: The Warrior's Recapitulation is set up so you can experience our world in extra-dimensions. This is the first ever extra-dimensional work of art ever produced. It is NOT a reproduction of what I believe. It is the extra-dimensions working through art to transfer the Revelation to the traveller of this intricate labyrinth that will take you to NASA, to CERN, to Kalhil Gibran; from prophecy to myth to Einstein: from the forces of our universe to the face of God. A new era is emerging for mankind who will now evolve from Homo Sapiens to Homo Mag Astrum.

PHENOMENE ART IV : The Fourth Dimension, Phase 4. The Warrior’s Recapitulation Chapter 1 REVELATION - Conclusion

Century IV Quatrain 31

La lune au plain de nuict sur le haut mont
Le nouueau sophe d'vn seul cerueau l'a veu,Par ses disciples estre immortel semond,
Yeux au midy, en sens mains corps au feu. 
************

The Moon in the full of night over the high mountain,
The new sage with a lone brain sees it:
By his disciples invited to be immortal,
Eyes to the south. Hands in bosoms, bodies in the fire.

REVELATION / CONCLUSION

This final page ties it all together.

In Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension I explored, with unmitigated audacity, the possibility that I was a reference in the famous Prophecies of Michel de Notre-Dame. I believed that because of the abundant unusual events that have been my life. I was a perfect candidate to witness the slow moving formative character of gravity as it is propelled forward by the Alignment Geometry of Celestial Mechanics to mould our destinies as I have been held back from living a normal human life by a variety of afflictions. We humans were told to abhor anything but our total freedom but everything we are is relationship, including with the Spirit and all the forces of the universe.

To conclude I will outline the final mysterious phenomena. The first phase of Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension occurred at the John Molson Room, a prestigious location on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal. It happened on the day of the Full Moon. That room is located on the eastern side of the Mount Royal mountain. In that room there is a portrait of John Molson the founder of the brewery that bares his name. The portrait is one floor up and right above the entrance of this protected heritage site where the original stones on which he erected his enterprise are mandated by law to remain. His portrait, with his enigmatic smile, faces the south.

In January 2000, I was disillusioned by the let down of my momentum as I hoped that my artistic event would lead to a stabilization of my professional standing as an artist. I drew myself conferring with Z who is showing me the All-Seeing-Eye in his left hand. These drawings are done by doodling unconsciously as I attempt to cope with my incomprehensible existence. In October 2009, July 2010 and December 2010 I predicted that the clouds would form a human face on the Sun by calculating the geometric disposition of the solar system, where and when gravity would be the most intensely focused to operate on a field of particles, the H2 0 particles that form the clouds. This proves my equation for the Theory of Everything and illuminates the active Spirit that shares the Earth with us. The last two Quatrains: Century V Quatrain 75 and Century I Quatrain 91: were not included in the Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension phase 1 because they made no sense to me at that time. I had never imagined I would have photographed the images below.

In November 2010, my brother Joe died suddenly. I was devastated by grief. I knew the face would appear again on the Sun in December so I prayed it would protect my brother's soul in the after-life. For many weeks all I did was weep. One day as I removed my hands from my teary eyes, I noticed my left hand possessed an unexpected shape, an eye in a triangle. It is in the center of my left hand exactly where I had drawn it on the hand of Z on my 2000 drawing. Then it hit me that Heaven had struck me once again for as I was focused on the phenomena on the place in heaven where it was occurring, I never paid attention to the fact I was in the opposite position standing on Earth. This compelled me to go to MgGill University to learn what science knew about Time Space and Matter.

My first exercise produced Normand, a lemon tree that behaves with very unusual creativity. The second was Amaryllis Sculpted by Gravitational Modulations. In July 2013, I did the first series of photograph that depict water forming unexplainable images, the same actions by water that Nostradamus employed to produce his Prophecies. Interestingly, one of my first images looks like the drawings I do of myself communing with Z.

I have completed all the requirements to which the ancient Prophets have challenged me, including the part about sharing this knowledge with humanity. If humanity doesn't see or care is not my concern. I leave you with the intent I implanted in the event, the Circle of Gold inspired by what I learned about the Zodiac of Denderah. Like these ancient people who lived by the cycles of celestial mechanics and infused them with their best intentions, this design means that prosperity, health, community and joy will spread all over the world in uplifting abundance.

I have used all the means at my disposal to transfer the revelation of The Force so we can overcome the conflicting themes of religion, science, politics, and other issues that are personal to each of you.

To go back to the beginning.

Century V Quatrain 75

Montera haut sur le bien plus à dextre,
Demourra assis sur la pierre carree :
Vers le midy posé à sa fenestre,
Baston tortu en main bouche serree.

          ***********

He will rise high over the estate more to the right,
He will remain seated on the square stone,
Towards the south facing to his left,
The crooked staff in his hand his mouth sealed.

Century I Quatrain 91

Les Dieux feront aux humains apparence,
Ce qu'ils seront autheurs de grand conflit.
Auant ciel veu serain, espee & lance
Que vers main gauche sera plus grand afflict,

          ***********

 The Gods will make it appear to mankind
that they are the authors of a great war.
Before the sky was seen to bee free of weapons and rockets:
the greatest damage will be inflicted on the left.

These are the original images from which the ones above were filtered. The sharpening and darkening process reveals with clarity the features and expressions of these astonishing faces. I use Forensic Photoshop to reveal the content of these images. This means the originals are available to compare the veracity of the darkened images above.

Century III Quatrain 2

Le diuin verbe pourra à la substance,
Comprins ciel, terre, or occult au fait mystique
Corps, ame, esprit ayant toute puissance,Tant soubs ses pieds comme au siege Celique.

              **********

The divine word will give to the sustenance,
Including heaven, earth, gold hidden in the mystic milk:
Body, soul, spirit having all power,
As much under its feet as the Heavenly see.

REVELATION p.6

Strangely enough, Century III Quatrain 2 was one of the first quatrains I read. I have always loved books so I regularly went to a discount store that put used books in bins and sold them for less than a dollar. I found a tiny brown leather bound book about a selection of quatrains that I thought my brother would like. He never saw that book because by then he had the popular French writer Jean-Charles de Fontbrune's books. It is interesting that Fontbrune died on the very day we put the remains of my brother into the earth, December 7 2010.

In p.5,  I gave my interpretation for a possible motive that would have inspired the prophet to pursue the long and slow process of gathering and writing his gloomy predictions. The two quatrains on this page show yet another way to accomplish the vision of peace he created for us in his mysterious rhymes.

The above mentioned quatrain speaks of a great unifying force. The image that came to me of being naked in a field, a dove between myself and the Spirit that had caught me in 1982, has been depicted by many artists in the last two millennia where the artists were trying to convey the link between Jesus and his Holy Father. For me it was events I had seen in the sky, molded by the clouds, in particular a Constant Spirit I called Z, that I successfully photographed three times in 2009 and 2010, that I was referring to. So it begs the question on how past humans interpreted such a phenomena I called Z and Jesus apparently called His Father? Was this recurring celestial event the foundation for the human belief in God? Knowing how humans feel they are the universe's gift, deserving all things without reserve, consuming everything beyond saturation, they were intrigued by these forces and began all forms of theism to enslave them, cajole them, in other words to make God obey their bidding. A simple look at human history at any time and you will see the leaders invoking the will of the Higher Power to support their endeavors. Then the tantrums when the human fails and was apparently not supported by the Higher Force he so diligently prayed to. Or the endless lamentations of so many about why God (their childish egocentric view of God-as-their-personal-servant God, not the actual Force that is responsible for our being alive)  created such horrendous circumstances in the first place. This is a subject of long debates, but this resume will suffice for this page.

Today we have science. Scientists like STEPHEN HAWKING and many others feel confident they now have enough evidence to prove "GOD" does not exist. But are they speaking of the creative force itself or are they referring to the character God developed by various writings and myths that religious and political beliefs were structured on? I listened to many luminaries of our times explaining in total earnestness why there is no God, why beliefs are stupid, and so on. Yet none of them has observed The  Force at work as it forges life forms and circumstances as I have with the resulting opportunity that I can share the revelation with you by using scientific methodology and our new technologies. Effectively, my extremely modest scientific and artistic exercises have revealed the action of The Force from the rings of Saturn all the way down to a bowl of water. ALBERT EINSTEIN understood what I learned about The Force: it is not a personal God, it creates like a river flows, life flowers on the banks of this river but it flows on and on: he was just too early to have the means to prove it like we do today.  In this brief paper, you will see The Force gliding down from heaven to affect plant life through my scientific exercises to prove my equation for the Theory of Everything. That is the final objective of Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension, to illustrate The Force by its effect on us and on life as it spirals through Time and Space. In this Phenomene Art, I return to the writings of one solitary man who also saw The Force at work but did not have the means to go beyond the capacities of his Time.

It is through science that everything will come together for humanity. We, all of us equipped with cameras and technology, are now gathering all new types of evidence that are forging a large common worldview that is based on evidence. This evidence is now irrepressible and irrefutable and no political, educational, or religious entities will suppress it because it is now a condition of the Times. We the people will know the TRUTH and this will free us. In a sense this is the time of reckoning because the Spirit has shown us It is watching and we have the knowledge and the means to watch It back.

Next, the conclusion.

I realized Phenomene Art IV : The Fourth Dimension in September 1999. The artworks presented in the happening were built by following my equation for the Theory of Everything. I was using Time + Space = Gravity + Rolling Force to bring forth the E=MC2 of the large intention that follows. It was my belief that Nostradamus's intention in going through the harrowing process of putting into writing the unmitigated nightmares of his prophetic visions was to somehow heal humanity of its greatest affliction: warfare. This is an illness in which individual humans band together to inflict incomprehensible suffering on other bands of humans to defend a biased worldview. Usually the disease manifests when two or more worldviews begin to enflame the minds and hearts of men who are convinced they are right and more that it is their duty to destroy the other worldview even if it is the same worldview they hold but expressed in a different language or style of dress. It has become the belief of men that the winning worldview should also command the natural resources of the Earth, and any relationship with the Divine by whatever name. The name given to the Divine by one group of men can also lead to extinction by another group of men who call the Divine by another name. The men are oblivious to this since their feelings of righteousness is blinding and their involvement with the parade and paraphernalia of warfare is complete.

Century I Quatrain 48

Vingt ans du regne de la Lune passez,
Sept mil ans autre tiendra sa Monarchie :
Quand le Soleil prendra ses iours lassez, 

Lors accomplit a fine  ma prophetie.
          ************
When twenty years of the Moon's reign have passed
another will take up his reign for seven thousand years.
When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle
then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished.

I felt this, the intention to heal us all of this grave malady, must be the motivation behind Nostradamus's actions because I saw no other reason why Heaven would strike me and produce such a meaningful symbol in my right hand that would allow me to recognize a series of Quatrains that, once viewed in a particular sequence, reveal the healing force hidden in the heart of humanity. On September 4th 1982, I dreamed of Century I Quatrain 48 but in the dream I reversed certain elements to retain only the last phrase when I awoke: " Lors accomplit à fine ma prophétie." In the image attached, I have printed a popular English translation of the Quatrain. At the time of that dream, I had not studied the prophecies, it was my brother Joe Ghio who was fascinated with the work of the prophet. In 1999 many of the phenomena I have since recorded and will outline in p.6 had not happened. What I did know was that the time of celestial mechanics operates like an algorithm and reproduces patterns during repeating Alignment Geometries of Celestial Mechanics. The images I created showed the power we possess to soothe "The Dogs of War" with our common sense, compassion and creativity.  Ending the prophecy by installing a new way of life in the hearts of men so they could transcend the compulsion to repeat the atrocities of war over and over like hamsters in a cage, so they would no longer justify their bloodlust with the words of any prophet by recognizing that the golden age of humanity is upon us and they are free. Many brilliant models of a higher existence for humanity have been contemplated by many artists and thinkers of all races and genders. This has already altered the products of the algorithms of celestial mechanics. And you artists of the world, great and small, are the Angels of Century X Quatrain 42.

To be continued.
