This is a summery of a newspaper article of today:

The chief of the Frankfurt, Germany, art societey, Chus Martinez, has launched a chapel, which was sanctified officially by Jesuits, to have a room for own thoughts.

She has now opened an art exhibition in Frankfurt, named "The Great Transformation - Art and Tactical Magic", which will be held from June, 7th up to Sept. 7th.

In this exhibition artist Goshka Macuga presents "tactical magician" Madame Blavatsky as a fiberglass figure, which hovers between two chairs.

Question: Does anyone know if and to what story or report this artist is refering??

"Tactical Magic" is described on the homepage of the Society as a process to go "beyond the spiritual"!
