flomm does some duchamp – in lumber

In 1913, a mas­sive ex­hib­it of avant-garde pieces, the In­ter­na­tion­al Ex­hi­bi­tion of Mod­ern Art (known to­day as The Ar­mory Show), was held at the Na­tion­al Guard 69th Reg­i­ment Ar­mory in New York …


* *  W I T H  A M P L E  P A R K I N G * *

The show in­clud­ed Nude De­scend­ing a Stair­case, No. 2 in its state­side de­but, and crit­ics and crowds ac­cus­tomed to more re­al­is­tic and nat­u­ral­is­tic forms were quick to mock it as a sym­bol of all that was ridicu­lous about mod­ern Eu­ro­pean art … The New York Times wry­ly re-named it ‘Ex­plo­sion in a Shin­gle Factory.’”
Kristy Puchko, Men­tal Floss
I kept star­ing at the stair­case. It was just there.

At a few events.

At CLARA.
The new, re­pur­posed venue in Sacra­men­to for ART and COM­MU­NI­TY and back in JUNE, it was one of our lo­ca­tions for FLOMM 423 RED.

We had to do it. It called to us, said it had to happen.

This is Mar­cel Duchamp’s Nude De­scend­ing a Stair­case n°2, 1913: 

And 9 June 2018
for one day only
at our 423 RED event
right next to our oth­er exhibitions
down­stairs from where the Sacra­men­to Bal­let practices –
this
was
the FLOMM sequel:

HOM­MAGE À DUCHAMP

the re­views are fi­nal­ly in!

Why did you do that?

So that’s what that was.

You guys are stupid.

Looked like a pile of lum­ber to me.

I ‘saw’ that.

I should have hit you with one of the boards.

FLOMM fi­nal­ly TAKES THE STAIRS!

You know, I’ve got friends in high places *wink wink*

If the mag­no­lias are full of shit, you re­al­ly shouldn’t eat them. Same thing with hamburgers.
