From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project
27 June 2022
The assimilation of counteractive knowledge led to the purge of misconceptions, and the critically necessary destructive tasks of scraping and burnishing metabolized seven elegant circus plans, seven unique Piranesi designs, to near oblivion, thus making way for ensuing corrective creations. Unlike damnatio memoriae, however, "memories" remain in the already-printed first versions of the plans, indeed memories from when Piranesi first etched the circus plans flooded his mind as Laura and he executed their erasure. Piranesi's ichnographic design skill was at its prime when the Circus Maximus plan within 'Pianta dell antico Foro Romano' was initially etched, and all the quondam circus plans within the 'Ichnographia Campus Martius' further exhibited Piranesi's design maturity. Each circus plan was perfectly fine, except for its symmetry.

architects. do you feel respected?
I saved two people once. It was the end of July and the beginning of August 1989 at Savannah Beach, Tybee Island. The first week of my vacation was over, and the first week's house guests had left, and I was then waiting for the second week's house guests to start arriving. The house was on one of the lanes in-between the numbered streets and second in from the beach. Since it was late afternoon, I left a note for my guests and decided to take a stroll on the beach. The beach was deserted, as was usual for that time of day, and I didn't even notice the couple way out in the water holding on to an inflated raft until the guy waved and yelled "Hey!" I thought he was being friendly, so I waved back and continued to stroll. Then I faintly heard, "We can't get back in." Within a second or two I thought, "Oh dear. Those people are going to be carried away rather quickly because I'd been watching the tidal movements the whole prior week. By the time I go back to the house and call for help they'll be way out there." Then I yelled back, "OK" and just started to swim out to them. I'm only an average swimmer, but I'm a great floater, so I wasn't really worried about myself. When I got to them I saw they were a couple, maybe married, maybe boyfriend and girlfriend, and they looked horribly sad. I just started to push them in, kicking my feet as much as possible, and, as slight waves came along, I told them to paddle with their feet as well (I haven't done it in years, but I used to spend whole afternoons body surfing whenever I was down the Jersey shore). Finally, our feet could touch bottom, and we all just began sighing with relief. On shore, we just stood there for a few seconds, they thanked me and I said you're welcome, and we walked away in different directions. Almost just then, I saw some of the second week's house guests walking onto the beach. They were all excited and they were thrilled about the location. I said, "You see those two people walking down the beach? I just saved their lives."

sacred and profane exhibit
The next set of pages will deal with the PMA Duchamp gallery and its shrine/sacred setup, versus the profane nature of the content, urinal, peephole, etc. Not sure yet if "urinal in a gallery" is to be included.
Next will be something about Étant donnés, art grasped by the mind, concepio, 2 keys, Bloomer and Columbia guy, the intercourse building. This will all lead to the axis of life and death (and this could also include calling the axis of life also sacred, and the Equirria also profane--check what Aitken says. I have all the graphics at hand for this. Tertullian’s text also offers a good profane versus sacred example, and when I finish with the Christian version of the sacred axis, it will supply the segue to the Eliade ‘sacred and profane’ thesis, which I then quickly associate with the human body diaphragm, and ultimately with chronosomatics and the apocalypse.

1960. Monday, New York City
To those accepting to join his Arts Committee for American Chess which is to raise funds for the American Chess Foundation [9.6.1960], Duchamp reveals that he is planning an auction of paintings and he hopes that each member of his committee "will give a painting or a drawing (or several) for such a purpose".

1927. Monday, [New York City]
Evidently disturbed by the news of Duche's sudden volte-face [10.6.1927], Florine Stettheimer tells Henry McBride of her nightmare: "[Duche] had grown baldish, and his forehead and head-top were made of milk-glass from which he wiped the drops of perspiration." She even imagines that "he may be able to increase her to a size bigger than Gertrude Stein".
"Duchamp married!!!" replies Stieglitz to Ettie [24.6.1927]. "Well yes I am surprised--still not--and still am. I oughtn't to be surprised for last winter I remarked to him now that he had become 'Salesman of Art'--what next? ... So it's marriage, Carrie writes to a bourgeois girl... At any rate it's a woman he married. That's all right enough to suit any of us insisting on Convention of some sort being served--even by Duchamp.
At any rate he ever surprises--What next?" Stieglitz ponders acidly, "Father of six or seven? And if she has no means (except the one of getting children) he'll have to invent some way--just by way of support of the family. And then," he concludes triumphantly, "we'll have the aristocrat completely the bourgeois. And that's the way the World seems to prefer it--even like it. Duchamp married!!!"
