CT 37: Mystical Encounters, How VISIONARY Experiences Shape ART with Alessandro Keegan

Casual Temple

🌟 Join us for episode 37 of Casual Temple! On this episode we explore the fascinating intersection of mediumistic art and Indigenous cultural practices with Alessandro Keegan, an accomplished visual artist, writer, and art history professor. The discussion contrasts the Western production mindset with traditional, spiritual artistic expressions, diving deep into the work of artists like Paulina Peavey, who integrates UFO phenomena and shamanistic rituals into her creations.

Keegan, with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MA from Brooklyn College, brings a diverse range of experiences to the table. We explore his unique journey from science to art, and how his works tap into psychological realms through abstract, geometric, and organic styles. His visionary experiences, combined with a background in gemology and mysticism, inspire art that touches on themes of virtual reality storytelling, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness practices.

You will hear about how Alessandro delves into metaphysical concepts like hypnopompic states, the simulation hypothesis, and the blurred lines between matter and spirit, offering fresh insights into how art can be a medium for personal healing and a deeper spiritual connectivity.
