The Duchamp stuff
Howdy!
J. Kelly Nestruck earns his paycheck this week, if only for getting art into the National Post - but doesn't get any bonus points or gold stars. I like how he took a basic wire story and embellished it, with bits that show he knows how to do research (and good research at that, I wasn't aware of Rhonda Roland Shearer before his parenthetical line). He missed however, that the dude who did it, is a performance artist, and did it as a performance, and that Cai Yuan and JJ Xi also took a performance piss when it was exhibited at the Tate.
