Marcel Duchamp Cols Alités 1959
Saw this artwork last night as I continued to read Etant Donnés... (by d'Harnoncourt and Hopps).
"Another "landscape" which Duchamp produced in 1959, forms a tantalizing link between The Large Glass and Etant Donnés.... . The punning title Cols Alités, is amplified by a startling inscription: "Projet pour le modèle 1959 de 'La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même'" The drawing is more startling still. Duchamp has drawn a background for his Glass! The basic elements of the Glass, including three parallel lines across the middle representing the Bride's Clothes, are drawn in ink, and behind them, apparently lightly sketched in pencil, rise the irregular rolling forms of a hilly landscape. To the right, just tangent to on blade of the Scissors atop the chocolate Grinder, Duchamp has added an electrical pole, the common variety that punctuates the countryside everywhere, complete with glass insulating knobs and wires disappearing in the distance.
For it is impossible not to take the view of undulating hills and the explicit electrical pole, with the title pun to "Causalités," as a broad hint at the assemblage [i.e., Etant Donnés...] that was gradually nearing completion in the Fourteenth Street studio. The pole its wires reads in retrospect as a direct reference to the "electricity at large," which now performs a practical function in the new tableau."
fallout from the confirmation
. . . The objects can have a Duchamp meets Cornell character, like Cornell with a teleology. ...I’ve wanted to do that with the Artifacts of Ottopia all along . . . an ongoing series of clues and manifestations of a deliberate system--that’s what I see as most Duchamp . . . works that are pseudo scientific, scholarly yet mysterious, hidden meaning(s) and also mixing odd things up . . . Duchamp and Cornell never had cad, and all the drawings that go with that, [however].
Should it be my aim to tackle the abundance?

about today, etc.
. . . a set of Duchamp packages . . . some kind of artwork with the cracks, and some kind of oddball object(s) maybe...
