OVER YOUR HEAD AND TOO DEEP? TRY JUXTAPOSITION SEMIOTICS!

Cekan and SIMPARCH present an overview of recent discoveries of ancient icon codes that relate meaning across the ages, the cultures, and the minds of alien thinkers.  Like matching up pieces in picture puzzles, tricks relating counterparts of conceptual patterns are shown in this exhibit.

This archaeology of ancient/intended/meaning reveals the hidden/underlying/ meaning/mnemonics, in all ancient patterns of actual thought. All religions are stored mentally in a child’s-mind from birth to 3 years and remains in that state the rest of their lives. Come and see non-verbal ways of sensing ancient sentient and how juxtaposition semiotics (like working a 1000 piece picture puzzle) will allow us to match meanings and link “trans-sub-stand-tias-shewn” with other patterns of actual thought. – Dr. Paul Cekan

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
Enter this simulated archaeological dig at the yurt where you can listen to a 1-hour video of iconographical interpretations by Dr. Paul Cekan. Viewers proceed to the start of the bookshelves along the wall containing objects and books beginning with “today”, including summaries of ancient icon codes. As you walk around you will see “nonlinear editing” that distorts the meaning of icons that continues back in time to Jesus’ time at the far end of the shelves. The shelves along the window reach back to eastern religions all the way to the ancient and ending with Bonpo (Jesus’ religion).

The end wall displays diagrams: Hopscotch, Qabala, “OM”, Chakras, Automic Nerve Plexuses, Tantric Channel Wheel Charkas and modern Villa Park Syriac Orthodox Regalia. Compare these diagrams laterally and see how they all reflect the same 7″ high with 10 spheres pattern. Dr. Cekan’s workstation is also at the end of the gallery where he will gladly duplicate diagrams or excerpts from books for the viewer to take home.

In the center of the gallery is the “Twin Towers” assemblage. There is an explanation attached to the sculptural object.

Background Information

SIMPARCH’s role in the exhibit began with giving Dr. Cekan a place to display a wider range of his explorations and discoveries. This follows with SIMPARCH’s previous projects that provide armatures and facilities for public interaction. The main shelving, gathered at the local home center is an attempt to portray the raw place of an archeological dig. Dr. Cekan noticed this type of set up in the Depot’s garden center and it was a quick and effective surface for the “artifacts”. The video kiosk, SIMPARCH’s version of a Mongolian yurt/ger or Native American wigwam/hogan nods to the original [Adam and Eve?] and indigenous architectures which were closer to textile structures than the tectonics of masonry or post and beam buildings. A link to the suburban backyard gazebo is also evident. The materials – plastic lattice [or wattle], studs, plywood, screws, are home center items. French military-issue blankets from a local army surplus shop cover the walls of the hut.
