From February 29 to April 1, 2016, the Salena Gallery of Long Island University – Brooklyn will host an exhibition of the Digital Fusion prints (theredbookprints.com) from Jung’s Red Book. These magnificent 25×33 inch reproductions of Jung’s paintings made their art world debut at the 55^th Annual Venice Biennale in 2013, where the original manuscript of the Red Book was on display. All conference participants are cordially invited to the Opening Reception on Friday evening, March 4, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the gallery at One University Place, Brooklyn (www.facebook.com/liubrooklynart).
The Conference will open at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 5, with a keynote address by Ami Ronnberg, Curator of the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS), followed by 30-minute presentations focusing on images of the serpent and its multivalent representations. The presentations will lead us into realms such as psychological theory, mythology, clinical practice, and contemporary culture. The format will be three moderated panels, each featuring three speakers, with time for lively discussion.
