1973-1974: J.J. LE.·., Hommage à Raymond Roussel et à Marcel Duchamp--Ready Made rectifié, Q gelé--Révélation, Révolution--I'Architecture Co(s)mique
Civile de J(ean) J(acques(s) L(e) Q(ueu) (x); essai de franc-maconnerie frivole', published in, the Italian magazine Periodo ipotetico under the watchful eyes of Ellis Donda and Jacqueline Risset, No. 8/9, Venice, December 1974. The title was a last-minute change. The Lequeu Donation here makes its first appearance, as do the other architects with the same names as Lequeu and, with the consent of Madame Marcel Duchamp, the Duchamp family in full force. I met her in January 1974 at the home of Olga Popovitch, along with Jean-Pierre Mouillesseaux and Claude Simonnet, the distinguished expert on Raymond Queneau.
That was the moment of revelation/revolution. Madame Duchamp told me: 'My husband had two passions, Raymond Roussel whom he had seen and Jean-Jacques Lequeu whom he never knew.'
A few months later, on receipt of the article, which came out exactly one year after its publishing date, I received the following note: 'Madame Marcel Duchamp thanks you for your fascinating catalogue. Herewith the authorization as requested. Bon courage.'

in abeyance
Are we to believe that Marcel Duchamp was passionate about Jean-Jacques Lequeu, and, moreover, that Madame Duchamp was the only other person to actually know about this passion?

Now that's (very unscientifically) jumping to conclusions.
The promenade architecturale formula is about as 'serious scientifically based' as I've seen architecture get--papers of the Horace Trumbauer Architecture Fan Club Convention.
I hear Le Corbusier's going to make special note of your work above.
Update: Matta-Clark's paper is now entitled "Learning from Lacunae" and Helena's paper is now to be written by heself and is entitled "Pilgrimage, Reenactment and Tourism". Duchamp/Jennewein and Eutropia/Rubens are now coordinating with each others papers.

Re: self destructive art scene
The "web" is just one more medium that artists (can now) utilize to manifest their (art)work.
Since the 'web' is a globally connecting network, it is a very powerful medium for artists.
The possibilities are indeed numerous, where artists can utilize the 'web' to display their work, explain their work, sell their work, catalogue their work, and even make their use of the 'web' a work itself.
Regardless of how artists use the Internet, however, the web remains an enormous publishing vehicle, and is further evolving into what will be virtually identical to a broadcasting vehicle.
Personally, I look forward to the day when many artists will essentially have their own channel.

Re: The Large Glass
I have over 40 digital images of The Large Glass (in full and in detail) in situ at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The images were taken at various times since February 1999. Since all the contemporary art galleries of the PMA were renovated winter/spring 2000, I also have The Large Glass in two different immediate "contexts". There is even one fortuitous shot of two real "bachelors" standing behind and seen through the glass.

Drawing a little plan, Marcel writes a note to Pierre de Massot [8.9.1968], proposing to meet him at four o'clock on Friday at the café-tabac situated at the junction of the Boulevard Haussman and the Avenue de Messine, instead of at the Galerie Givaudan.

As he is in France [14.9.1950], Duchamp is not present for the installation nor the opening of "Challenge and Defy" at the Sidney Janis Gallery on East 57th Street. For the exhibition, Duchamp supplied in advance a replica of Fountain [9.4.1917], the object signed "R. Mutt", which was rejected by the committee of the Independents more than 30 years previously. Exhibited in public therefore for the first time, with paintings by Dali, Magritte and Delvaux for company, the urinal is installed low, in its utilitarian position, near the skirting board in a corner of the gallery, so that "little boys could use it", as Duchamp remarked later...

In the evening at seven Marcel calls at Arago, and Roché takes him to eat escalopes of wild boar at Les Maronniers, 53 bis Boulevard Arago. After dinner they call on Helen Hessel in Rue Ernest Cresson, and find her in bed, wearing pink pyjamas, looking just like a fair-haired boy. They talk a while and when Marcel leaves, Helen becomes agitated, making comparisons, jealous that Marcel is happy with Mary Reynolds.
