FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LLOYD LIBRARY AND MUSEUM ANNOUNCES A NEW EXHIBITION

"The Emerald Tablet": Solo Art Show by Ken Henson
Exhibition Dates: February 24-May 17, 2014

 

Cincinnati, OH - January 27, 2014: The Lloyd Library is pleased to
announce its upcoming new exhibition, "The Emerald Tablet," a solo art
show by Ken Henson, the first Curtis G. Lloyd Art Fellow (at right).
The show features several new works by Henson, an Art Academy of
Cincinnati professor, on the theme of alchemy and astral projection.
Henson's body of work is driven by his interests in magic and mysticism,
of which alchemy is a part. 

 

One of the hallmarks of the Lloyd collection is its great diversity of
topics all centered on science.  Ken Henson, a 2013-14 Curtis G. Lloyd
Fellow, spent the summer researching alchemy texts in the Lloyd
collection, of which there are many.   Henson, already driven by his
interests in magic and mysticism, was fascinated by these texts and has
created several new artworks based on his experiences with these rare
volumes. 

 

 Don't miss this amazing opportunity to see these fantastic new
artworks, meet the artist, and hear about how his research experiences
fueled the creation of these unique, new pieces.  

 

Plus!  This is the public debut of Henson's new alchemical treatise,
"Alchemy and Astral Projection: Ecstatic Trance in the Hermetic
Tradition," also the result of Henson's research at the Lloyd.  The
Treatise will be on display throughout the show.  To learn more about
Ken, visit his website: http://www.artistkenhenson.com/

The show promises to be otherworldly!  If you can't get away this
winter, this might be the perfect staycation!
