Matt, Wayne, and the thing in the hallwayDate: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 13:50:44 -0400 underlib, There has been a single-work Marcel Duchamp exhibition (though labelled incorrectly as "out of order") on the landing of the stairway at the back of the Science library for a couple of weeks now. You might want to check it out before some guy named R. Mutt takes it away. w ___________ Wayne Jones From: Matthew M Sikorski <mattski@MIT.EDU> http://www.kinetica.com/ootips/ood-principles.html The object of Wayne Jones' aesthetic concern is the Science Library water fountain. It is Duchampesque to the degree that it is an object out of context, its functionality removed and may be regarded as a useless utility or as pure form or whatever. However, this object, on its back and "Aut of Order" is obviously awaiting attention from someone from Facilities, bringing the unease of an emergency room to that corner of the stairwell. Where is Randolph Mantooth when you need him? Check out the mournful aspect of the hole it left behind in the Tech Reports area. Covered in plastic held up by three arbitrary strips of silver duct tape, it is juxtaposed with one trash can, a recycling bin and a yellow step stool that has lost its black foot mat and rubber rim guard, like a crowd gathering around an accident or friends consoling the wounded or plain clothes police fending off the riot of your attention. Yours, for a limited time only.... |
