Apocalypse House Web-Log

Dear friends,

1. You are invited to attend the Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, for Norbert H. Kox (and others) May 20, 2012, at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, WI.

The following notes from Graeme Reid, Assistant Director:

Dear Norbert,

I hope this finds you well. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that you have been awarded a Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award. This is an award, given annually since 2004, to artists, patrons and administrators who have excelled in their support for the arts in the state. Please go to www.wvalaa.com for more information on the awards and past recipients. [The first recipient of this honor, in 2004, was the late Frank Lloyd Wright]

The ceremony is here at the MWA on Sunday, May 20^th at 1:30 pm.

2. You are invited to HEAVEN+HELL. Free and open to the public. (Norbert Kox is represented in both sections).

Chicago: Heaven and Hell, February 10 - June 30, 2012. http://www.art.org/

HEAVEN+HELL is an inspired collaboration of creative thinking and practical dynamics from two very different organizations: Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art and the Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA). The exhibition will serve as a bridge between the two museums with the Hell portion of the exhibition taking place in Intuit’s Galleries at 756 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL and Heaven taking place at LUMA, 820 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL.

The themes of heaven and hell are frequently addressed in outsider and intuitive art. Outsider artists’ perspectives range from illustrative, word-laden drawings to stylized, sculptural versions of figurative images that populate their perceptions of the heavenly and the hellish. Self-taught and outsider artists often use the themes of heaven and hell not as concepts, but as broad visualizations that may be invented, drawn from popular media or the Bible, or influenced by their religious upbringing. HEAVEN+HELL seeks to explore the breadth of expression in self-taught art with these themes in mind. The exhibition will feature work by American artists such as Minnie Evans (1892-1987), Howard Finster (1916-2001), William Edmondson (c. 1870-1951), Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980), William Blayney (1918-1985), and Norbert Kox (1945 – ), among many others.

Co-curated by Jan Petry, Exhibitions Chair at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art and Molly Tarbell, Exhibition Curator, Loyola University Museum of Art, the exhibition features 165 works of art by 54 artists as well as several anonymous works. This exhibition is accompanied by a 36-page catalog with an essay by Jerry Bleem, a Franciscan Friar, Catholic Priest, and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Fiber and Material Studies of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The catalog is available at both venues for $12. http://www.art.org/

This writing connects the last remaining speck of Atlantis with a tiny island in the Atlantic called Bimini, and presents many of the artworks created by Kox on the Island over a period of eleven years. Along with the Apocalyptic Visual Parable paintings inspired directly by the Bimini setting - including esoteric energy paintings.

Many of the Picture Perfect Jesus images are included in A SPECK OF ATLANTIS - BIMINI: THE TOP OF GOD'S MOUNTAIN. Several of the images appeared in the Raw vision article mentioned below, along with a detailed description of how they came to be:

"Masquerade" is an article by David Damkoehler, in the Raw Vision 2008 Winter Issue #65 (December), about Norbert H. Kox's artworks depicting Warner Sallman's Head Of Christ. Damkoehler offers insights into understanding the subversive imagery in Kox's paintings: "In 1992 Norbert H. Kox inherited a framed print, a portrait of Christ that had hung in a prominent position in his parents' home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This portrait was to inspire a series of skillfully executed works that exploit visual and textual puns to illustrate Kox's deeply skeptical attitude towards organized religion. ..."

Two recent articles about the works of Norbert Kox, released in December, 2008:


"Masquerade" is an article by David Damkoehler, in the Raw Vision 2008 Winter Issue (December), about Norbert H. Kox's artworks depicting Warner Sallman's Head Of Christ. Damkoehler offers insights into understanding the subversive imagery in Kox's paintings: "In 1992 Norbert H. Kox inherited a framed print, a portrait of Christ that had hung in a prominent position in his parents' home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This portrait was to inspire a series of skillfully executed works that exploit visual and textual puns to illustrate Kox's deeply skeptical attitude towards organized religion. ..."



"Norbert H. Kox; rebel with a cause" by Eva von Stockhausen, in Out of Art. Magazine for contemporary Outsider Art, December 2008 issue, theme: Religion (3rd year of publication, no. 2- mag appears biannually)
http://www.out-of-art.nl/

Summary:
Norbert H. Kox; rebel with a cause
When in 1974 a prayer saves him from an acid trip gone wrong, the life of biker and troublemaker Norbert H. Kox (1945) changes. After receiving an inner calling from God, he gives away his worldly possessions and withdraws into the Wisconsin woods. From then on his life is dedicated to studying the Word of God in its original language: Hebrew. Kox aims to unlock hidden messages in the Bible using a digital matrix called the ‘Bible Code’ and to demonstrate links between events in the past, present and future. He came to realize that modern Christianity, as well as secular society, is a vehicle of evil. From Roman Catholic Christianity to the Freemasons, from Santa Claus to Sallman’s popular Head of Christ, occult powers are at work everywhere. Kox makes his findings public through his visionary paintings’(‘apocalyptic visual parables’), his books, website, Myspace page and films on YouTube. pp. 26-28

The painting I'll be exhibiting this year is titled "The End of Days." It created a heated controversy on the Internet for several months when an altered/edited version, dubbed "The End of the World," graced the Art Director's Club 86'th Annual, 2007 call for entries poster. Now you can see the actual uncensored painting for the first time.

Hope you can make it.

Best regards,
