Fridman Gallery for Immediate Release FRIDMAN GALLERY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alina Grasmann Sculpting in Time November 15 – December 20, 2020 Opening reception: Sunday, November 15, 6 – 8pm RSVP Fridman Gallery is honored to present Sculpting in Time, Alina Grasmann’s second solo exhibition ​ ​ with the gallery, featuring two new series of Grasmann’s masterful large-scale paintings, combining imaginary, real, and emotional places. The paintings reflect the artist’s fascination with American architecture, landscape, mythology, cinema, literature, and otherworldly illusion. The Montauk Project is inspired by several literary and historical references to the Eastern-most ​ beach community of Long Island, New York. A conspiracy theory of the same name alleges that secret government experiments were conducted there, to develop psychological warfare techniques and esoteric research including time travel, teleportation, mind control, contact with alien life, and staged Moon landings. The Swiss writer Max Frisch used the town as the setting for his novel Montauk, a story published as fiction, however the events factually happened. ​ ​ Grasmann’s Montauk Project depicts hauntingly deserted restaurants, hotels, and vantage points ​ ​ in and around the town. In Sculpting in Time, the second series featured in the exhibition, bizarre dreams are set against the ​ ​ backdrop of the experimental desert town of Arcosanti, Arizona, a site of visionary utopia and a relic that embodies its future as well as its past. Inside its rooms, Grasmann leads the viewer through an imaginarium of items and objects arranged as a cabinet of curiosities that reject clear symbolism, lending the scenes to be explored and filled with subjective meaning. Sculpting in Time ​ is the name of the creative manifesto written by the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, whose visual language shares an enigmatic quality with Grasmann’s work. The compositions unfold in time, yet every scene appears frozen in the minds of the viewers. Alina Grasmann is a realist painter whose large-scale, site-specific series blur fact and fiction. Her ​ works are inspired by her travels, American architecture, film, and literature. Each series contains about 10–15 paintings, all based on specific locations. Grasmann researches places and then visits them in real life, recording her experiences and the atmosphere through photographs. Drawn to the narratives of each place, she compares the reality and sensation of the place with the way she imagined it would be, then makes interventions by changing or adding objects, or erasing parts. Rather than illustrating existing myths about a place, she aims to create space for association so new stories emerge. Grasmann lives and works in Munich, Germany, having studied at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Grasmann’s work has been exhibited at several museums in Germany, including Kunstverein München, Galerie der Künstler, and Hubert Burda Media.

In "Unidentified Fascist Observatories", John Judge asserts that Adamski was an asset of the CIA, who in his lecture tours throughout the 50's and 60's dispersed disinfo on behalf of the Company. This is presently a work in progress. Now, I don't quite follow all of this myself, but let's not worry too much about the details at the moment, or we'll all go mad! The two men almost came to blows over Preston's contention that he had never been at Montauk. That book was written without consulting anyone other than Preston who wanted to protect his sources.

Army Discontinued Ground Based Artillery In November , the Army closed the Camp Hero portion of the military reservation as Soviet long-distance bombers could fly well above ground-based artillery. Remember Me. It has simply moved in response to natural forces. This technological breakthrough was achieved at such horrific human cost — crewmen missing or gone insane, dead sailors fused into bulkheads — that authorities deep-sixed the experiment.

  • The Montauk Project and Physics Run Amok by 'Richard' / Cyberspace Café Forum (Oct
    archived as http://www.stealthskater.com/Documents/PX_10.doc [pdf] more of this topic at http://www.stealthskater.com/PX.htm note: because important websites are frequently "here today but gone tomorrow", the following was archived from http://www.hyperspacecafe.com/forum14/195.html on February 24, 2009. This is NOT an attempt to divert readers from the aforementioned website. Indeed, the reader should only read this back-up copy if the updated original cannot be found at the original author's site. the Montauk Project and Physics Run Amok by 'Richard' / Cyberspace Café forum (Oct. 7, 2005) Though initially formulated almost 90 years ago and despite being an ongoing scientific development of huge importance, Quantum Mechanics has been conspicuously marginalized in both mainstream science and popular awareness. The general perception has been that Quantum Physics interpretations are not relevant except to a handful of particle physicists and mathematicians. This is because the subatomic proofs of Quantum Mechanics do not reconcile with observations on the scale of matter in which the bulk of human activity takes place. Einstein’s theory of Relativity describes the gamut of goings-on from human to celestial bodies. But it does not explain subatomic events. Hence the fundamental conflict within the discipline of Physics and the continuing search for the Unified Field Theory (otherwise known as the "Theory of Everything"). Legends of "secret technologies" draw their sustenance from this chasm in the terrain of Physics. The subtext of these tales is that they contain not only the clues to resolve the quandary of modern physical theory but also the keys to the mastery of physical reality itself.

  • PROJECT SUPERMAN PROJECT SUPERMAN a "VICTIM" of the ILLUMINATI's SUPER-RACE PROJECTS & MONTAUK EXPERIMENTS SPEAKS out {The Andy Pero Story, Aka Mr.X
    PROJECT SUPERMAN PROJECT SUPERMAN A "VICTIM" OF THE ILLUMINATI'S SUPER-RACE PROJECTS & MONTAUK EXPERIMENTS SPEAKS OUT {the Andy Pero story, aka Mr.X... Nazi Mind control and the Montauk Projects...} Introduction Memories are a strange thing, there are tangible memories that can be proven factually, there are suppressed memories which are clouded recollections of actual events, memories that are a mixture of real and unreal events, memories based on imagination and possibly most frightening of all, memories that have been intentionally "programmed" within the mind of a person, which might consist of anything between actual real life experiences to entirely "designer" memories that may have been inserted to "cover up" experiences that are far more stranger than fiction. Just where in the spectrum the experiences of Andy Pero may fit, I do not know exactly, although many of the places and people he describes DO exist as evidenced by the links that I've added... so at least a good number of his memories are apparently accurate... but the question is, are his reported experiences with the alien time/space projects as carried out in the Montauk bases also based on fact, and if so to what degree? Others have made similar claims about montauk {although these fantastic experiences do not appear until the last few sections of Andy's story} as can be seen by doing a SEARCH of the Internet for other writings on the Montauk Project. So here then -- for those very few readers who will view this page -- is Andy Pero's story... - Alan ********************* This is my story, and this is my life.

  • Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Set You Free
    know the truth and the truth shall set you free How little we know of the scale of eternity. How dare we challenge the might and enormity of such wisdom and creation. A million worlds could exist in the heavens... beyond our site. Each with living beings, looking at the sky in wonder at the never ending universe. They may also think that no other intelligence exists... apart from themselves. But perhaps they do not share the arrogance of the human race. Perhaps they possess the intelligence to realize that all things are possible in the vastness of forever... Is it conceivable, that this earth of ours, which is but a speck of dust against the scale of reality, is not only being visited by other life forms but is being controlled by them. Let us not be blinded by our arrogance as to what is possible and what is not. Because we are children at the dawn of our creation with the universe as our classroom and intelligence beyond our imagination waiting to be tapped... when we are ready to receive it. Seek and the wonders you will see will reveal the true qualities of your universe. To the truth of your origins your hearts will go out. The beauty of your origins will surpass your belief and comprehension. And the infinite depth of your cosmic reality will remain part of your heritage in the mists of forever. The peace of understanding, is the beauty of creation. The word has been spoken and the spirit within you knows that home is eternity and existence is immortal..

  • 05-26-13 NSA Surveillance Word List
    Revealed: Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don't want the government spying on you (and they include 'pork', 'cloud' and 'Mexico') Department of Homeland Security forced to release list following freedom of information request. Agency insists it only looks for evidence of genuine threats to the U.S. and not for signs of general dissent By DANIEL MILLER PUBLISHED: 26 May 2012 The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S. The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'. Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The words are included in the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder ' used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities'. Department chiefs were forced to release the manual following a House hearing over documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit which revealed how analysts monitor social networks and media organisations for comments that 'reflect adversely' on the government. However they insisted the practice was aimed not at policing the internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.

The investigation is carried forward as Preston Nichols opens the door to Peter Moon. This is a great sequel to the book that started it all, Montauk Project: Experiments In Time, as it goes into much greater depth on the subject and shows all the synchronicity involved in the initial research and investigation. This book clearly shows how L.
