ACID CHRIST: Ken Kesey, LSD, and the Politics of Ecstasy
Mark Christensen

"The year was 1976. I was going to visit Kesey with my pal photographer Clyde Keller. Clyde was unique... Keller created what Kesey liked best: art made magic. I never met anybody who could compress creativity into such a vital, efficient package. Clyde’s camera was a silent machine gun, he shot photos like movie directors shot film and we were soon to be off to record “Kesey World” for posterity." Mark Christensen, author of ACID CHRIST.

Homage to Timothy Leary, Psychedelic Turn On, Clyde Keller art print

Psychedelic Turn On
Turn On - Tune In - Drop Out
Timothy Leary Interpretive Art Print

Here is my homage to the king of LSD from my original negatives. In 1967 Leary made waves across the United States with his use of psychedelic drugs. During his speech (at Portland State) he kept everyone guessing as to whether or not the "colorless and oderless" liquid he drank before a thousand or so students at the College Center was the real deal. My art print rekindles the psychedelic flavor of the times. The original black and white film was converted to a high contrast lith (some years back) and just revisited in an inventive interpretation, born anew. Please note that the typography surrounding the image is for display and the fine art print features by signature. Please note that this image is included in the Ken Kesey Section as it pertains to "LSD and The Politics of Ecstasy" in Mark Christensen's book on Ken Kesey entitled, "Acid Christ." As of February 2011 it is headed towards multiple printings with a PB forthcoming - Fall 2011.

About my portraits: Timothy Leary spoke at Portland State College in 1967. After his appearance I found him sitting alone in a smaller annex room reserved for teachers eating lunch. I approached him with my motorized Nikon in hand and sat down to join him at his table. We started talking and I commenced to "blow" a roll of 35mm film while we made conversation. In this sequence Leary is reacting to my photographing him- just like someone might do alone in and old fashioned photomat parlor- cruising from one inventive pose change to another.
