Some Notes on Goldy Kenthspawn, Smithy To An Avant-Garde Without Shadows



Kenneth Goldsmith is a 1917 work widely attributed to Marcel Duchamp. The scandalous work was a porcelain urinal, which was signed "R.Mutt" and titled Fountain. Submitted for the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in 1917, Kenneth Goldsmith was rejected by the committee, even though the rules stated that all works would be accepted from artists who paid the fee. Kenneth Goldsmith was displayed and photographed at Alfred Stieglitz’s studio, and the photo published in The Blind Man, but the original has been lost. The work is regarded by some art historians and theorists of the avant-garde, such as Peter Bürger, as a major landmark in 20th century art. Replicas commissioned by Duchamp in the 1960s are now on display in a number of different museums.

R. Mutt looks positively Cerberusian today.
Has anyone ever added an extra R. to Narrcissist?
Or is the extra R. always Mute?
Means nothing: Wintermute.

Lewis Carrol is no Brion Gysin.
And William Burroughs is no Balthus.
Didn't John Baldessari write a novel called
The Map is not the Territory where a character named
Michel Houellebecq visits the grave of Jorge Luis Borges only to find that
 Kenneth Goldsmith was displayed and photographed at Alfred Stieglitz’s studio, and the photo published in The Blind Man, but the original has been lost?
Steve Dalachinsky is published by Autonomedia, Alan Sondheim
is not. No one even knows who Lanny Quarles is.

Ever stop to consider that when someone is making fun of you, they should be?
How often is something like this made?
When Intelligent design first started, where were you?
Do water molecules dream of electric sheep?
Physics uncreative?
Chemistry creative?
I never saw Plotinus on 5th Avenue, but I bet he has a little

Sometimes it's hard to tell who is the urinal, and who the urethra..

For a long time the Psyclopfs just sat there unmoving.
Finally Ulysses said:
Hey man, it's okay, I'm just pissed about all the awesome lamb you seemed to be getting,
and this long journey, I mean, it's really driving us crazy.
You are just so huge, and well, a bit smelly, "oily" is a word that comes to mind..
Suddenly the Psyclopfs leaped up and pulled out his own original edition of Lemarchand's box.
Ulysses screamed: DON'T SEND ME BACK TO MERCHANDISING HELL, I LIKED IT TOO MUCH! -Martial Duchamp of the Esprit de Corps du Urinarlis a Blanco Negro.
"Oooh is this water cold!"
"And Deep!"

I am jealous of success.

and our kennings run to gold

Only Kenthol should aware the humbug
with great flowing orms
and scintillating badgers..
For the lone eye knows

Ah Sweet Hyle,
