We were invited by Dawoud the  “Renegade Sufi” musician to the gallery/alcohol-free club “Chappel of Sacred Mirrors,” but as I came late, I missed not only his performance but also presentations by a team that was connected to the “Biosphere” experiment in Arizona. Nevertheless, the evening was not a loss at all - (a) I had a chance to see the terrific work by the place’s founder Alex Grey, and even more, having chatted with him for a while I found that not only is he steeped in yoga and what I define as matters of the soul, but to my real surprise in matters of sustainability for the future - that what we call Sustainable Development. He plans to build his new venture, to be opened in 2009, according to the guidliness of the best available technology of concervation techniques and sustainable energy systems. With the influence he has in certain circles, it is clear that his place has potential to become a showcase for sustainability as well. We hope to be able to update you on the progress of the new endeavour.

The place is in effect a very interesting gallery on its own. When there is an event held in the place it becomes interesting on many other levels as well.

Without us trying to present in depth the art, we will nevertheless publicize some of the upcoming events, so those of our readers that reside in metropolitan New York can take advantage of thie information. Would like to mention
that I met last night folks that came to town from places as far as Montreal (last night it was yoga affectionados), with a visit to the gallery on their must-do list.
