I'm a post-grad student in the Dept of Art History and Theory at the University of Essex in the UK, with a 'keen interest' in Duchamp (Dawn Ades/Margaret Iversen are my tutors).
Apropos Rhonda's and Stephen's article on the 'Standard Stoppages'- I'm a right in observing that the two extant 'gauze' photographs, ostensibly a preparation for the 'draft pistons' in the 'Milky Way' of the Bride bare hardly any morphological relation to the supposedly resultant shapes in the bride's blossoming?
Is this yet another example of Duchamp's methodological mischievousness?
Yours in art
