"...so she told him she would pose nude for him. He agreed with no hesitation, so she removed her clothing and lay down so he could sit in a chair and view her reclining body straight-on." . . . then later . . . "She told him he needed to see her whole body exposed, so she disrobed and posed placing her left leg onto the chair, so as to make her vulva and surrounding pubic hair clearly visible."

Is it Architecture?
You know, hybrids actually do exist, although "culture" likes to mostly ignore them.
the agnostic design of spiritual space
paper tiger, you say "my focus has always been on light" and what is light but electromagnetic radiation? (Look in the dictionary.) And osmosis is equalization either side of a semipermeable membrane. The architecture of Kimbell Art Museum is a semipermeable membrane that "equalizes" electromagnetic radiation.

August 16, 1977. Tuesday, Vatican City
Vatican Museum was well worth it. Sistine Chapel is hard to relate about. For some reason I never get excited over what I see.
Went to the roof of St. Peter's--view was nice, sketching was horrible.
I was the last one to come home in our room.

Plus:
There's that open door at the end of St. Peter's Colonnade which opens up to a long corridor and ultimately the Scala Regia. As usual, a Swiss Guard was there standing at attention. I walked up the few steps anyway. The guard remained motionless until I reached the threshold, when he very subtly dipped that spear/ax thing about a quarter inch in my direction. Then I winked at him and returned back to the crowd.

1956. Thursday, New York City
In the afternoon Marcel works with James Johnson Sweeney, director of the Guggenheim Museum, on preparations for the "Three Brothers" exhibition due to open in the museum on 8 January. Sweeney mentions that Jean Cassou of the Musee National d'Art Moderne has expressed interest in having the exhibition, which is also due; to travel to Houston, Texas. Marcel agrees that in spite of the stipulation that pictures from the Arensberg Collection must not be outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art for longer than six months at a time, everything possible should be done so that Cassou can have the show in Paris after Houston.

1936. Sunday, Hollywood
In the morning, Duchamp visits Twentieth-Century Fox with Kenneth MacGowan, an associate producer and friend of the Arensbergs. "This trip has been wonderful," Dee writes to Miss Dreier and thanks her for sending on his copy of Cahiers d'Art, published earlier in the year [14.4.1936], with its cover of the bright blue and red Cœurs volants, which he had left in the middle drawer of the writing desk in his room at The Haven. The issue, which he wants to show Arensberg, includes an article on his work by Gabrielle Buffet-Picabia, which is also entitled "Cœurs volants".
After meeting Duchamp at the Arensbergs, Arthur Millier's article appears in the Los Angeles Times, illustrated with a photograph of the Frenchman studying a chess problem seated by his famous Nu descendant un Escalier [18.3.1912].
"Duchamp is quitting chess for the same reason he quit painting," Millier reports. "As to what he will do next he hinted that he is working out a system to measure the imaginative power in works of art." Visiting the West Coast for the first time, Duchamp told the journalist that he found California "a white spot in a gloomy world".
