Worlds. Whitewater, WI.

will include the newest collaborative painting by Norbert H. Kox and William
Thomas Thompson. Title, "Apocalypse," 2012, acrylic on canvas, 8.5-ft x 12-ft.
If you saw the "Babylon 2012," exhibition at Lawton Gallery, UW-Green Bay, July 27, 2012, you saw
the under-painting of "Apocalypse" in-progress. Come to This is the
End My Friend... and see the finished work! Believe me this is
something you do not want to miss.
Crossman
Gallery, UW-Whitewater: October 17 – November 17, 2012. Opening reception:
October 17 from 5-7 pm
Over the past few years,
many have pointed to the supposed end of the world as seen in the Maya calendar
that seems to show an end point of December 21, 2012. This exhibit, scheduled to
take place before that end, will look at both historic and contemporary artists
who have illustrated The End. We are fortunate to have in our Permanent
Collection a number of works created in Post World War I Germany.
Internationally renowned collectors Marvin and Janet Fishman donated the items
and the work demonstrates the depth of the devastation that took place in
Germany following the end of the Great War. This group of drawings and prints by
George Grosz, Rudolf Schlichter and Wilhelm Höpfner depict macabre scenes
reflecting the post war chaos and destruction of lives and property. In work by
more contemporary artists we will see evidence of another round of anxiety
brought on by fears of global conflicts and economic collapse.
The
exhibit will include examples from the Permanent Collection, and special loans
from artists and collectors. Proposed artists include John Balsley, Tom Berenz,
Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Warrington Colescott, Jeffrey Bogartte, Karl Jahnke,
Maxim Kantor, Käthe Kollwitz, Norbert Kox and William Thompson, Richard Notkin,
Jean-Pierre Roy and James Stephens. Other artists are also under
consideration.
Opening reception date: October 17 from 5-7

7. Apocalypse House Books, A
SPECK OF ATLANTIS - BIMINI: THE TOP OF GOD'S MOUNTAIN, by
visionary artist Norbert H. Kox, now available (8 1/2 x 11 paperback, 118 pages, 149 color images, printed in USA on archival paper) http://nkox.homestead.com/BooksByNHK.html
This writing connects the last remaining speck of Atlantis with a
tiny island in the Atlantic called Bimini, and presents many of the artworks
(including esoteric energy paintings) 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.
The Picture Perfect Jesus series was created in Bimini
(2003-2004). Many of those images are included in A SPECK OF ATLANTIS
- BIMINI: THE TOP OF GOD'S MOUNTAIN. Several of the images have appeared in
the Raw vision article mentioned below, along with a detailed description of how
they came to be:
"Masquerade" is an article by Professor 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. ..." http://www.rawvision.com/resources/norbert-kox
8. The controversial
painting by Norbert H. Kox, titled, "The End of Days,"
is available in prints of various sizes on paper or canvas. If you are

Museum site and show,
http://www.sacredmachine.com/
My painting,
The Star Of Daniel, is based on an energy pattern that
was revealed to me on my travels to the Island of Bimini, and is called the
Divine System Of Spontaneous Regeneration. It is the Tree Of Life, or Plan Of
Life, and reveals the image of a person and the possibility of various body
positions within the "temple". When the energy lines of the sefirot (sacred
spheres) are extended in all directions from the Tree Of Life they crisscross to
form a 24-point star (an 8-point star within a 16-point star). From there the
lines continue to infinity without ever crossing again.

3. You are invited to HEAVEN+HELL.
Free and open to the public. (Norbert Kox is represented
in both sections, with a total of seven of his Apocalyptic Visual
Parables).
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.
