-Duchamp's spirals from "Anémic Cinéma" on view at "Impasse Ronsin" exhibition at Paul Kasmin.

In Duchamp iconic film (1926) spiral shaped rotolreliefs optical devices were alternated to puns:

"Bains de gros thé pour grains de beauté sans trop de bengué." (BenGay was invented in France by Dr. Jules Bengué)

"L'enfant qui tète est un souffleur de chair chaude et n'aime pas le chou-fleur de serre-chaude."

"Si je te donne un sou, me donneras-tu une paire de ciseaux?"

"On demande des moustiques domestiques (demi-stock) pour la cure d'azote sur la côte d'azur."

"Inceste ou passion de famille, à coups trop tirés."

"Esquivons les ecchymoses des Esquimaux aux mots exquis."

"Avez-vous déjà mis la moëlle de l'épée dans le poêle de l'aimée?"

"Parmi nos articles de quincaillerie paresseuse, nous recommandons le robinet qui s'arrête de couler quand on ne l'écoute pas."

"L'aspirant habite Javel et moi j'avais l'habite en spirale."

Walking by Fashion Night Out at the Meatpacking District

Street artist Futura 2000

Finally a quick visit to Future-Shock curated by Nemo Librizzi and "produced" by Andy Valmorbida and PM Tenore- the first New York solo exhibition of Futura 2000 in over a decade. The same space, the vacant 560 Washington, provoked a deja vu of Outtara Watts exhibition in January; graffiti art comeback mingling with fashion models...The Times They Are a-Changin' in reverse...

Walk length: 7km
