Dawn's Diary, Duchamp's Nude & The Shingle Factory

February 19, 1957
Guggenheim opening. Marcel Duchamp's NUDE DESCENDING A STAIRCASE
(once called "Explosion in the Shingle Mill") seems better than 35 years ago.

The meanings–as in the case of all great art–are now blooming. Whatever the lack
appeared to be was in the viewer, not in the work.

Duchamp was
the un-named DJ
for The Max Game.

    The strings of the music hips swirl and twirl down the beever hole
    The fingers play the steps of the dance, the bow and bowl revibrate

    Is Nuda in control? Or is she too, swirling down the space in a linear slide. Pre-roadrunner
