message: Grey's approach to the human figure is decisively clinical, which conceptually trivializes the spirituality of his work.
This strikes me as critically POV, but I'm not sure how to fix it in its context.  El Mariachi 07:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Which SCI??

message: I seem to remember that Grey was more well-known for his performance work in the early 70s.  I can recall that he did things like painting himself black, with his wife painted white, and they made love naked on a performance space floor until they and the floor were all a smeary gray.  Another one where he tied himself to his wife, with a skeleton strapped on his back and a baby doll strapped to his wife's belly, and they walked in a circle for some very long period of time -- 24 hours, or perhaps more.  Also, I remember that he was something of a nihilist in his earliest work, and recall seeing pictures of him looking very much like a proto-punk, with a half-shaved head (the other half his hair was kept waist-length).
Anyone have some more information about his work as an artist before the psychedelia period?  
Also missing is the quasi-religious community that has emerged around the Chapel.  They used to have regular "full moon" meetings and things like that.  My understanding is that the community is quite ecumenical -- it's not a religion (nor is Grey any kind of religious leader), just a spiritual gathering of people who were drawn to the Chapel's beauty, and to friendship with Grey.
(P.S.  This is very nicely done article.  It reads well, offers interpretation of the work without slipping into POV, and is well-written.)  StrangeAttractor (talk) 19:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
