Cher (and cher alike) Bill:

First off, I think you're lying when you say, "I can't find your Duchampiana," but then again, maybe you're telling the truth since the exhibit is indeed called "Primarily Not Duchamp" suggesting (at least) that the exhibit was/is primarily something other than Duchamp(iana). You say you fell into a statement (of) mine, while I and my work fell into (or is it through?) the cracks it seems, at least from my perspective relative to yours. [Then again, maybe you just didn't 'get' the hyperlinks (and thus didn't view the exhibit at all), which is understandable, but not necessarily tolerable.]

Ah, the (ongoing sterotypic) cliches regarding art and wall, artist and architect; one thinks how primative it all really is, the notion of art on (cave) walls, that is. Plus, who exactly are these "architects [that] hate painting so much that they take up painting to show how to make a work of virtual space that does not push the walls around in actual space? I'm requesting you provide evidence!

And, as to "transmorgification into bits in virtual space" isn't that more or less exactly what Duchamp did himself to his own art via DE OU PAR MARCEL DUCHAMP OU RROSE SELAVY (1935-41)?

You can still see virtually all the walls of my house starting at www.museumpeace.com/05/0457.htm and the 130 odd pages that follow. Mind you, these images reflect the conditions of my house January 2001, thus providing, in some cases, a pre-altered view.

Thanks for extending PRIMARILY NOT DUCHAMP into performance. Peace.

Steve

Feel free to ask this architect's "view on painting." Satisfaction primarily not guaranteed, however.
