The projected mandala featured a red, person-shaped figure, arched in pain or
ecstasy, and surrounded by a sea of blue wavy figures. Kaufman devoted much of
his commentary to the use of outlines in drawings and the myth of imposing
borders on life in general. The “notion of being protected from the outside
world,” Kaufman said, is “false and ego driven.” Further on in their talk,
Kaufman and Beebe discussed Kaufman’s fear of the irrevocable, focusing on his
persistent phobia of mistakenly running over a person while driving. “If I
killed a bug, I could go on. If I [accidentally] killed a person, I don’t know
how I could go on,” Kaufman said.

Psychologist C.G. Jung (1875-1961) was one of the founding fathers of modern
psychoanalysis, and in The Red Book, he developed his principal theories of
archetypes, the collective unconscious and the process of individuation. Earlier
this year, W.W. Norton released a facsimile edition of this
never-before-published tome — The Red Book of C.G. Jung. The book is a hybrid of
text and image, based on Jung’s obsessive exploration of his own interior life.

mandalas that form the graphic heart of the book, The Red Book of C.G. Jung:
Creation of a New Cosmology, and is presenting a series of talks entitled “The
Red Book Dialogues,” which will run into the New Year.

professional backgrounds with Jungian analysts to discuss the book and specific
images within this “holy grail of the unconscious.” Each guest responds to an
image, and each analyst offers an on-the-spot reaction to what that response
says about the viewer. The “Dialogues” were conceived by Rubin Museum producer
Tim McHenry, who calls them “part guided association, part theater, and part
good old fashioned conversation.”
