Imagining five artist-mystics as a hierophantic faculty in a mystery school, Gough creates a series of lectures that move in that liminal space between skepticism and knowledge to ask questions about subjectivity, personhood and the necessity of staying in relationship with the unknown world. These figures are: Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), the first-known musical composer; Eleanora Duse (1858-1924), the first modern actor in the Western world; Simone Weil (1909-1943), philosopher, activist and mystic; Marina Abramovic (b. 1946), ?the grandmother of performance art?; and Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), the first-known abstract painter. Gough's lecture series make a persuasive argument for relational thinking, and the urgency of keeping open the questions that implore us to stay in a fully embodied relationship with our collective present-tense.
