February 17, 2009 - CoSM the Movie with Alex Grey

The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors is well known as a kind of a pilgrimage. In downtown New york, walking distance from the nearly virtual reality of Times Square Alex Grey has created a space for another sort augmented mindstate, one much more pure and fundamental to the human experience. His work has attracted international, and probably intergalactic attention, presenting a "vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the spiritual malaise of prevalant in much contemporary art."

This film features Alex and his art, which itself is becoming a well recognized, archetypal part of visionary culture. The insights will be useful for painters, other forms of artists, and humans in general.
