Paul Laffoley Has Agreed to Share Details of His Work Online ...
We Need Continuing Help to Fund & Develop the Site!

Concept and Goals:
1. To visit Paul and scan all the various magazine articles and interviews he has copies of.
Photograph some of his sculpture works. Scan his x-ray of the 'implant' and other
historical artifacts of the Boston Visionary Cell.

2. To create (with Paul's help) an index/glossary of the unfamiliar terms
and concepts employed in his body of works.

3. To conduct a series of interviews with Paul about the critical technical details
of his proposed devices, the time-machine, Levogyre and others.
Also to make more written works by Paul Laffoley available online.

4. To transfer some of Paul Laffoley's art onto the web in
full-resolution digital format, so that all of the text is readable.

5. To present each work in a navigable format.
Clicking on any panel within a painting would open a close-up image.

6. To include audio and text of Paul Laffoley's
extended commentary on each work presented.

Lecture Announcement:
Paul Laffoley, one of the master visionary artists of our time, has recovered from his health problems
and is again available for lectures and presentations at universities, art galleries, new-age events and
forward-thinking educational foundations

Paul Laffoley's Presentations
A typical presentation consists of about 80 slides of his mind-expanding and amazingly dense artworks. Paul's genius and good-natured presence lights-up the room as he explains his utopian worldview. He discusses each painting, describing the theoretical basis of his designs and establishing a historical continuity for his unique synthesis of futuristic and ancient concepts. Paul's work is transdisciplinary to the extreme. Even in the 1970's Paul was busy addressing todays issues of nano-technology, mind-machine interfaces, genetic-modification, dimensionality, space-elevators and time-travel possibilities.

Lecture/Event Booking Contact:
Paul's lectures are awe inspiring events, spanning the history of art, science and spirituality
and looking forward to the future details of ecological, ethical, spiritual and technological balance.
For lecture and event bookings, Paul requires travel / lodging arrangements, plus a reasonable lecture fee.

Academic Response to Laffoley's art

Society for Literature & Science, Annual Meeting 2004,
( Durham, NC, in cooperation of Duke University.)
Art, Science, Technology and Beyond in the Later 20th Century

The Artist as Occult/Scientific Visionary. For four decades, artist Paul Laffoley has maintained an independent course, operating outside the art world establishment. His paintings are unique image/text combinations rooted in 1960s hard-edge abstraction and other types of diagrammatic images (e.g., mandalas, scientific wall charts). Laffoley describes these works as portals to higher levels of knowledge or consciousness.
Each painting includes at the bottom edge a list of names headed Homage to and followed by such figures as Abbott, Bergson, Bragdon, Dunne, Fuller, Gurdjieff, Hinton, Leadbeater, Ouspensky, Plotinus, Steiner, Swedenborg, Tesla, Wells, or Paul Davies, Dirac, Edison, Haeckel, Hawking, Mandelbrot. As these names suggest, Laffoleys worldview combines an extensive knowledge of mystical/occult philosophies with an interest in science and mathematics in a manner akin to many early 20th-century artists.
Presentation Topic - Laffoley's Painting "Dimensionality - the manifestation of fate" (below)
