Welchman. Touching on religion, dreams, hallucination, UFOs and other forms of experiential or speculative transcendence. The trio also discusses the American landscape and the sublime, utopian and memorial architectures, and the defiantly complex capacity of art itself to \u201cgo beyond.\u201d By turns passionate and humorous, off-beat and far-out, the dialogue posits no faith in and little hope for the beyond itself. It takes stock instead of some of the extraordinary ways in which paranormal and \u201cdivine\u201d states are found or invented, willed or perverted in so many registers of American culture; and of the genres and forms of social authorship in which they are inscribed. Kelley gets to the heart of the matter when he notes his enjoyment of what Welchman describes as \u201cperversity, fiction, fantasy, and projection\u201d\u2014\u201cmaybe that is what art is,\u201d he suggests, \u201call of the stuff of the transcendent with the transcendental taken away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-architecture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>On the beyond - INK TREE EDITIONS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On the Beyond is a far-reaching conversation between the Los Angeles-based artists Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw and art historian John C.
