451.rhawn.gallery They're weather houses, in this case Black Forest souvenirs my mother picked for my brother and me on our family trip throughout West Germany summer 1963. You know, David Hare often appears in the current Duchamp readings; probably now time to apply more focus. Otherwise, 'you figure it out' is just a spontaneous, playful DaU imperative, hence, I now wondered: what would have happened if R. Mutt's FOUNTAIN was accepted and exhibited? Which quickly made me think: the acceptance and exhibition of FOUNTAIN may well have never happened because the whole BLIND MAN scenario was a hoax all along.
It's all up to posterity, indeed?

1958. Friday, New York City
In "an orgy of theatre" Marcel and Teeny have recently seen Purple Dust by Sean O'Casey. Tonight, accompanied by Denise and David Hare and Polly and George Heard Hamilton, they go to see The Chairs and The Lesson by Eugène Ionesco. The Lesson was "beautifully acted by a very young English girl", comments Teeny, "We all loved it." Next week they have tickets for Endgame by Samuel Beckett.
