  MARCEL DUCHAMP

  Cigarette, 1936

  Gelatin silver print
  30.0 x 20.7 cm

  Without its paper wrapper, Duchamp’s cigarette becomes something else entirely-a potent signifier of sexuality stripped bare; a naked assemblage of chance in which the liberated tobacco rejoices in disarray. It may also represent a visual pun on the term découpage, which literally means “cutting out” but is more broadly defined as a mixing of elements-for instance, the text and images in George Hugnet’s book of poemes-découpages for which Duchamp created this image. In the book, a page of text and symbols in different typefaces is juxtaposed with pasted images and scraps of text from other printed media. Poetry and collage work together-or against each other-to simultaneously create and undermine meaning through a seemingly random grouping of disparate elements.

  Patty Oldenburg and Lucas Samaras (Photograph by Robert R. McElroy)

  Patty Oldenburg (now Patty Mucha) quoted in the NYT: “In one of the “Store” [the installation Claes Oldenburg opened in 1962] events Lucas and I did a dance: He picked me up, I serpentined all over his body and chomped on a challah bread and read the comics from The Daily News. We had the entire studio, and part of the audience stood behind a canvas scrim with holes in it, so they could only peek through. I don’t think they saw it all.”

  This is one of my fave (amongst many) special spots in Toronto - it’s right behind Coach House Press on Huron St. If you haven’t been there, I highly suggest you pop your head in one of these days (they usually have an open house and tour of the presses for Doors Open, which is the last weekend in May). It’s a poem by bp Nichol and after he died, they used to fill the word “lake” in every day with water.
