This is really great to see. I was at the first performance of the temple years ago, and the ambiance, performances, art, sound track and the later satanic TV reporters all made it my favorite happening / performance art of all time.

I'm a graffiti artist here in Madison,WI. I'm cool with some crews here in Madison-ipc/tci/rfa, Minneapolis as well as ctw/kfa in Milwaukee. I was just wondering if you were gonna stretch the midwest scene to around here at all. I could hit you with some good flicks if you're interested. Let me know.

I am working on a book about Midwest graffiti and neighboring cities. Cities I am profiling are Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Buffalo, Ny., Rochester, NY. (perhaps as far as syracuse Ny.) Please e-mail me if you are interested in being interviewed or having their work profiled for this project. I am looking to highlight any kind of urban art, even the 'fuck the police' writings on the sides of buildings.

Let me know!

hi.....it is so cool that i found this site about the temple. My love and interest for graffiti began here in December of 2002. I have heard lots of different stories from people about what they think goes on down there, now i know the truth. I have been working on a book about Cleveland Graffiti and will be giving 'the temple' a chapter of its own, especially since it started there for me.
I would love to have some actual interviews from anyone that has taken part of the actual rituals there. Email me........

Would anyone be interested in resurrecting the Temple? Like Drug said - a nice clean canvas. Email me.

good morning and excellent pics.i guess we will just have to recycle it how nice of the city to supply us with a fresh canvas. Remember kids its your tax dollars at work.

Too bad the cops came and destroyed our art. hopefully people will contribute to restore it. Also I enjoyed the picture of the cops standing next to the fuck police graffiti.

wow,its' great to see the temple revived again!I hope the ceremonys continue.As far as I know the temple is 20 years old the original ceremonies happend in the early 80'sMy friend P.J turnd me on to it and we started going down there once a week or so in the summer of 98. there was a home made wooden ladder hidden there that we used to reach the upper parts of the braces we where armed with paint construction glue mirror glass and whatever looked good to stick up.we also cleand the paint off the origanl staind glass with starting fluid.ISTARTED THROWING weights tied to wiers and rope over the conduits then pulling objects up. for a while there where banners like the ones at car lots hanging across the back brace,(the one with the green background kali wich has yet to be finished). alot of other people where going down there and adding things but we where all strangers to eachother and never met.there was a full steel flower about 4 feet high in a cement footing that lasted about a year or so.Two years ago P.J. told me the temple had been extensivly damaged,the glass broken and alot of the art sprayed over with local skin head logos.your pics show that its been redone once again and it looks great!Mabey the cops did go back to destroy the installations or mabey just bored kids.I hope to here about up coming events,in case I can make it to Clevo for another revival there!
thanx T.R.S.

Hey Lou,
Thanks for posting all the pics. I am glad you were able to document the day's events as well. I was just showing my youngest daughter Jessica the photos and she also got a kick out of seeing them...When I took the children down later that evening it was kinda hard to see the art, so these are really special indeed. Did the art destroyes undo the landscape job Beth did as well? Hmmm let me know.
regards,
Joan of Art
