Re: David Rimanelli on giving his class homework
I'm putting together a syllabus for The Art of Exploitation--the latest course of my life.
It's all about how something obscure (like me and my ideas) becomes this object of exploitation. Exploitation is here mostly a love/hate thing.
Next semester: The Influence of the Art of Exploitation
Summer school: Decadence, Editorship, and Artforum

Re: David Rimanelli on giving his class homework
Don't tell anybody (especially students), but these days I don't even get out of bed in the morning unless it's for the sake of my amusement.

Re: Tomma Abts


Re: Tomma Abts
1. I posted the link to the Duchamp painting to illustrate why the DuChampion(s?) here at talkback might be liking the paintings of Abts.
2. as an artist, Abts is not yet as successful as Duchamp.
3. Can resemblance really be anything but superficial?

1959. Tuesday, Cadaqués
Returning to Paris, Marcel brings with him the three illustrations for Robert Lebel [15.4.1959] which he conceived and executed during his stay in Cadaqués.
"You can do absolutely anything you wish," Lebel had told him. A few days after returning from Perpignan [4.5.1959], Marcel made With my Tongue in my Cheek. His cheek bulging with a large nut which he had put in his mouth, Teeny cast the side of Marcel's face in plaster which he then placed onto a drawing of his profile.
A few days later he made Torture-morte. A plaster cast of a foot, mounted vertically on wood, exposes the sole tormented by Spanish flies.
For the third, which he has entitled Sculpture-morte, Marcel placed a selection of vegetables in marzipan made by the pâtissier Bonnevie [4.5.1959] in an Arcimboldo-style arrangement with a cherry, bumblebee and a beetle on wrapping paper from the shop in Perpignan.

1950. Friday, Hollywood
At a meeting of the board, the trustees of the Francis Bacon Foundation elect Duchamp to be an active member, trustee and vice-president of the foundation, which will enable him to negotiate the gift of the Arensberg Collection to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

On his last day in office at Yale University, President Charles Seymour receives the first copy of Collection of the Société Anonyme, the catalogue of the art collection donated to Yale [14.10.1941]. Prepared by Miss Dreier and Duchamp in collaboration with George Heard Hamilton and with assistance from Nelly van Doesburg [26.11.1948] and Stefi Kiesler, the catalogue is the result of more than two years' intensive work [1.12.1947]. As well as being closely involved with every aspect of the publication, Duchamp himself has written short texts on 33 of the artists.

paintings by Max Bergmann, maybe Haimhausen




"I would have gone anywhere in those days. If I went to Munich it was because I had met a cow-painter in Paris, I mean a German who painted cows, the very best cows of course... and when this cow-painter said 'Go to Munich' I got up and went."   --Marcel Duchamp, 9 June 1968
