George Forss invited me to his art gallery, the Ginofor Gallery on Main Street in Cambridge to show me his latest idea, an audio-visual theater in the center of the gallery to listen to music and watch films and videos, this is definitely George’s radical evolution and movement into the modern world, a visual and kinetic place. He is completely re-arranging his art gallery, a whole new idea about culture.

Before going, I read his blog writings on “Godhead And The U.S. Shutdown,” in which he proposes that feuding Republicans and Democrats gather to go on a cruise ship and sail through the Bermuda Triangle in order to resolve their many differences. The more I look at the news from Washington, the more sense George makes to me, he believes in living in several different truths.  He continues to urge me to not surrender to a program of insulin injections for my diabetes, but to look for other solutions as well.

But the big news is George’s new idea for his gallery, what I call the George Forss Theater Of The Arts.

George is a pure creative, he is creative every day in almost every way, with his brilliant photography, his philosophy, writing and presentation of art. Yesterday, I hear the wonderful sound form the 14 “surround sound” speakers he has put around the walls of the gallery, today he is going out to get a large flat screen TV to go atop the large screen TV that he built himself but that only seems to pick up gold tournaments on weekends.

George says he isn’t sure what he will show on the screen – art screens maybe, his videos on politics, aliens and various alternative truths. He found this green sofa out on the street and carted it into the gallery, I told him he needs a popcorn machine and some vegan cookies. We are plotting our next lesson this week, on manual settings for the Canon. George is not only a photographic genius, he is an inspiration and a force of nature. I hope he decides to call it The George Forss Theater Of The Arts, that works for me.
