Allyson and I returned to the Giger Museum last week to visit with our friends and do a presentation for Stan Grof's transpersonal training session focused on Fantastic Art. While there we had the good fortune to spend time with the master himself, HR Giger. A vast collection of Giger's exquisite work is beautifully displayed at the museum. I was interviewed by Russian media celebrity and television producer, Eduard Sagalaev for a Russian documentary on Visionary Art, and got to meet President of the Russian Association of Transpersonal Psychology, Vladimir Maykov.

HR Giger and Alex Grey, October 21, 2008, Giger Museum, Gruyeres, Switzerland.
One delightful surprise was seeing a charcoal drawing by Albert Hofmann, discoverer of LSD, on exhibit at "Psychonauten" an exhibition of visionary artists like Ernst Fuchs, Robert Venosa, Alex Grey, HR Giger, in honor of Albert Hofmann, at the Giger Museum, March-October 2008. I knew Hofmann was a fine photographer, didn't know he was also a fine artist.
