  The Alchemy of Research Creation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:40 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

The Alchemy of Research-Creation: On Pataphysical Experimentation, Dark Infrastructures, and Antifascist Studio Practices [Amazon, Bookshop, Publisher, Local Library] by Tyson E Lewis and Peter B Hyland, foreword Erin Manning.

"Research-creation is an attempt to suspend the operative divisions that define Western modernity—divisions between the head and the hand, knowledge and pleasure, science and art. Yet this practice, which has so much promise, has often fallen prey to facile, fashionable notions of interdisciplinarity and hybridizations of science and art. The Alchemy of Research-Creation charts a new, imaginative genealogy for research-creation by returning to a spatial and temporal configuration that predates the advent of the divided Western world: the alchemical studio."

  Jewellery: The Broken Promise Ring
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:38 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"In Alchemy the broken heart is not a symbol of permanent tragedy but a crucial metaphor for the transmutation of the self. It represents the necessary destruction of the old, ego-driven identity to allow for spiritual rebirth."

  Another Beinecke article
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:31 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

" In the 1940s, Mary Conover Mellon, the wife of philanthropist Paul Mellon, became fascinated with the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Jung had spent decades arguing that the imagery of alchemy was not a failed chemistry but an early map of the unconscious mind, with its furnaces and dragons standing in for psychological transformations a patient might undergo in analysis. Mary read his work, met him in Switzerland, and started quietly buying alchemical books to support that research."

  Peter Abelard’s Expositio in Hiezechielem
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:24 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The commentary’s systematic metallurgical analysis of Ezekiel 22:18–22 — silver purified by fire, separated from bronze, iron, tin, and lead, each metal characterized
by its specific physical properties—and its use of electrum (a physical alloy of gold and silver) as a Christological analogy for the hypostatic union, belong to a conceptual world that did not exist in ninth-century Latin Christendom"

  Healing with Gold
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:18 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"What if the heart is not simply a pump?

What if the heart is a vortex machine?

What if blood, water, sunlight, magnetism, thought and trace gold are all part of a deeper energetic system within the body?

This is the hidden territory where Rudolf Steiner, Frank Chester, Paco Torrent Guasp, Viktor Schauberger, structured water, monatomic gold and the ancient phrase “a heart of gold” begin to meet.

This article explores the heart through an alchemical lens: not as cold machinery, but as a living centre of rhythm, spiral flow, sacred geometry and golden transformation."

  Inside the Beinecke
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026, 10:09 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Hidden inside one of America’s most iconic academic libraries sits a collection that feels more like folklore than fact. At Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, thousands of rare texts rest behind a towering marble facade. Among them lies one of the most fascinating collections of early scientific imagination ever assembled: a major archive of medieval and Renaissance alchemical manuscripts."

  Alchemy: an installation at the Bank of England Museum
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-12-2026, 10:59 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alchemy is a temporary, immersive installation at the Bank of England Museum created by Melek Zeynep Studio for the London Festival of Architecture. Rooted in the ancient ideas of alchemy, the work explores belonging as a process of transformation, connection, and shared presence rather than a fixed state."

When: 15 June to 3 July 2026

"Alchemy is often associated with the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary substance believed to transform matter and reveal hidden knowledge. In this project, the Philosopher’s Stone is reimagined not as an object, but as an experience. The installation responds to the movements, voices, and bodies of visitors, turning individual presence into something collective. As people move through the space, reflections shift, sounds change, and the environment is subtly altered. Belonging emerges through participation, through being seen, heard, and reflected back by the space and by others within it."
