Psychedelic Art Opening: An Evening With The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo

The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo has been described as: “A combination of Robin Williams and Terence Mckenna” -Ramin Nazer, artist / host of Rainbow Brainskull “Slick mercurial vanguard […] whose creativity is too extensive for a single set of senses.” -Michael Garfield, host of Future Fossils Podcast "Dazzlingly prodigious... [his] multiple talents resemble siddhis..." -Jasun Horsley, author of Prisoner of Infinity “A multi-talented, psychedelicized, and exceptionally witty [...] wordsmith with a great gift for impressions, neologisms, and accents." -Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis and High Weirdness Originally from The Netherlands, The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo is a multi-dimensional artist and storyteller with a psychoactive personality. He is a “bardo bard”, equipped with a quickSilver tongue and mercurial mind, who utilizes pareidolia, wit, wordplay, and a 6th sense of humor to investigate where the limits of language meet the fringes of reality. His work finds expression through visual art, written and spoken word, film, music, and performance. He is the host and creator of the podcast Self Portraits As Other People, and the author of The He & The She of It and Impatient Transformations. He is none of the things he says he is, and more. About the Event: This was a special night of surreal, sublime, absurd, wildly poetic, and above all entertaining, psychedelic storytelling. A journey through language, time, and art. Feast your eyes on The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo’s “Divined Designs,” on display at The Athenaeum, and join the artist for a beyond-the-seen exploration of the ideas and adventures behind their creation. Michaelangelo will regale you with his multivalent bardistry in an attempt to instill wonder. He’ll tell about how he followed the call to journey to a snail-shaped time machine in the Mexican jungle, how pareidolia can be used as a daemonic interface, and about the immanent nature of culture. He may even toss an uncanny Terence McKenna or Werner Herzog impression into the mix, all the while priming a lens through which to view the artwork, and perhaps even the world at large, in a new light.
