now seems like a good time to remind my fellow alt kids out there that you do NOT wear your political patches on your back.
wear them on the front. that way if someone disagrees and decides to get violent about it, theyโre less likely to sneak up on you and catch you off-guard. stay safe.
As an art major, while I know Fountain is a valid piece of art that accomplished exactly what it set out to do, I also think itโs one of the stupidest things. We have a urinal in a museum display. I have yet to see a work I think is dumber.
The thing I love most about Duchamps urinal piece is that it was so โlow costโ in terms of creative labour (compared to say, a large scale oil painting or sculpture for example), but itโs absolutely FULL of rage against the traditionalists and the world at that time and itโs SUCH a statement, itโs like, โoh just a mass manufactured item with a signatureโ but the reality of it is so many layers of meaning and without understanding the history at the time you donโt get it.
Itโs an incredibly clever โfuck youโ and I love it
An old professor of mine, an expert in Duchamp who has written several books, has a theory. In part, โFountainโ was a prank, a personal โfuck youโ to the organization looking for artworks. Itโs importance cannot be overstated, and this importance stems from the fact that โFountainโ is /ridiculous/. It is enraging, it is hilarious, and it is very fascinating.
Aside from Duchampโs readymades, I love โBride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors Evenโ. Pictured below, the work invokes a complex machine, one my professor spent a great deal of time studying. Eventually, he reached his conclusion. My professor had been pranked. He believes โBride Stripped Bareโ is a joke about masturbation, hidden to all except those study it excessively.
At first blush, Duchampโs works are stupid. Upon further study, theyโre very complex. And, upon true understanding, Duchamp is laughing at you. To me, it seems the closer you come to truly understanding Duchamp, the more he slaps you in the face with a large fish.
Let me rage about โtraditionalism revivalโ here. This is a dogwhistle.
As a lover of art, there are many complex and technically impressive works being created today, which both embrace different artistic traditions and break from them. To ignore those is to ignore contemporary art.
Here, OP is raging against conceptual art, which stimulates thought and challenges tradition. He wants his followers to believe that art has โdegeneratedโ, because the West has โdegeneratedโ. OP is intentionally engaging with fascist ideas of โdegenerate artโ.
If OP wanted to be accurate, he would seek to restore the Salon System, the Beaux Arts Academy, and classical training in the arts. The collapse of this specific system allowed for Modernism to evolve. Of course, thatโs not what OP is talking about. Heโs evoking beauty as a moral standard, telling his followers to โrestore Western traditionโ, to fight against aesthetic โdegeneracyโ in culture.
(By the way, Duchamp is commenting ON MODERNISM with โFountainโ. Duchamp submitted the work to the Society of Independent Artistsโ salon in New York, who would accept any work by any artist, for a small fee. In part, Duchamp is saying, โIs this what you Modernists want? A urinal? Look me in the eyes and prove this is not art.โ
If OP dared to use his brain, perhaps he would agree with Duchamp here.)
The thing is that it isnโt even a urinal! It doesnโt match any model manufactured at the time. Also Duchamp was an accomplished ceramicist. Itโs likely that he made the sculpture and absolutely everyone is like โI know what a urinal looks like. This is sufficiently urinal-shaped for me to assume it is one without looking at it closely!โ
Duchamp had other readymades, like his snow shovel, where if you actually look at the photos, the handle is square and the bowl is way too flimsy. Why would manufacturers make a snow shovel with a squared-off handle? Itโs impossible to hold! Duchamp slapped the โreadymadesโ label on all these items and the hoity-toity art people who were so good at looking at things didnโt see it (probably because theyโd never had to do labor like shovel snow imo, amongst other things).
Marcel Duchamp. In Advance of the Broken Arm. Museum of Modern Art. (4th Version [Ed.!!!] after lost original of November 1915)
wait what. thereโฆ what?!?! IT ISNโT AN ACTUAL URINAL?!? or might not be anyway. what the fuck.
if the dude seriously did that, his troll game is out of everyoneโs league except Leader Kibo.
My favorite thing about Fountain (besides the fact it has been pissing off fascists for over a century, natch) is that the original was lost and he made a bunch of official editions to sell to various museums (after the original was lost, possibly on purpose).
And theyโre different! If it was a real โreadymadeโ he could have just bought some more at his local hardware store, but no. He changed them in OBVIOUS WAYS.
See the triangle of holes?
Hereโs the one from the Tate Modern:
Oh hello, cross-holes. Fancy seeing you here.
SFMOMAโs edition has the triangle holes, but it also has a line of holes at the top that are completely different from either other version.
Hereโs one from Moderna Museet. Line and a circular set of holes!
Duchamp definitely intentionally made these different on purpose. Itโs a โreadymadeโ but itโs not, really, each of these is a specific custom creation.
Itโs not even clear if he made it! He wrote a letter to his sister claiming that a female friend sent it to him, and he just enrolled it in the art exhibit under his own name. Thereโs also a possibility that that female friend was himself, since he later had a female pseudonym of Rrose Sรฉlav.
This whole piece of art is a fractal troll, and itโs a beautiful one.
The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.

Sorry, canโt peel myself away. Corbyn trouncing Labour as an independent is very funny.

If we don't vote for Biden, amongst the multitude of terrible things the Convicted Felon Trump will do is appoint two late-30s replacements for these two and guarantee 40+ YEARS of super majority on the corrupt supreme court.
