Mercer Museum
I paid the Mercer Museum in Doylestown a visit this afternoon. My first time, although the museum's been open since 1916, a year before Mutt's Fountain. I see a happy and enlightening point/counter point now.

Re: art as architecture as art
Stephen Lauf
and
The Unfinished Style
Do you think that's an appropriate title for a documentation of me and my art and my architecture? It certainly describes most of what I do (or rather what I don't do). Look, a virtual first sentence: "I am, therefore, I am unfinished." With a title and concept like that, I can accomplish just about anything as long as I don't finish it. Could it be that I now know what I'm best at?

Re: E-M~A ARCHITECTURE / OSMOTIC ARCHITECTURE
My theory is that human imagination operates in the same fashion that the human body operates. The study of corporal operations is called physiology, and human physiologies comprise fertility, embryonic development, assimilation, metabolism, osmosis, electromagnetism to name the most predominant and those concentrated within specific corporal organs/locations. I theorize that human imagination comprises the same physiologies.

"Many thanks for the photo of your beautiful work in progress," writes Duchamp to Richard Hamilton, who has almost completed the replica [16.2.1965] of the Large Glass. "Happy to see it in the last stages already!"
Replying to Richard's queries regarding loans to the exhibition at the Tate Gallery, Marcel has telephoned Andrew Ritchie at Yale University and has spoken to George Heard Hamilton, curator of the Sociéte Anonyme Collection, to pave the way for an arrangement to lend Tu m' [8.7.1918], which poses transport difficulties on account of its protruding bottle brush.
Marcel doesn't consider he would be successful in obtaining Le Roi et la Reine entourés de Nus vites [9.10.1912], from the Philadelphia Museum of Art because the painting is in very poor condition, but he may try for Broyeuse de Chocolat, No.2 [8.3.1915]. He suggests leaving out Nu descendant un Escalier No.3 [20.4.1919], which is the photographic copy he retouched.
Although he is not in favor of the glass, A regarder d'un Œil, de près, pendant presque une Heure [4.4.1919], traveling from the Museum of Modern Art, he will speak to Dorothy Miller about the canvas Le Passage de la Vierge à la Mariée [7.8.1912].
As for 3 Stoppages Etalon [19.5.1914], there is a copy in Mary Sisler's collection, and he promises to follow up Breton and Lebel by writing to the latter.
"On the other side of the picture," Marcel asks Richard whether he thinks, "it would be a good idea to invite to the dinner on 16 or 20 June Mr and Mrs Arne Ekstrom and George and Mrs Hamilton--they seem to want to come."

After his visit to Philadelphia on Monday Duchamp writes suggesting to Henri Marceau that the Large Glass should not be positioned exactly in the middle of the gallery but nearer the windows. He draws a sketch plan and offers, as soon as they have found another aluminum pillar, to return to the museum and assist with the exact positioning of the Glass.
As requested Duchamp also sends Marceau a photograph of how the Large Glass was installed at Milford, drawing attention to the way it is framed.
