Duchamp would be amused, and Cage would say, "been there, done that." Or maybe he'd say nothing for 20 minutes.
Goldsmith is having a little fun with us. My response was somewhat akin to Ann's. And, Jesus Christ, he's not boring!
And there is bullshit in it too! Something for everyone.
Gregory--I like Wilbur as much as the next guy, I guess. But those first two paragraphs! I hope I have more to talk about when I'm 90. But I blame the interviewer. My first question would be, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know you were born in New York City like it says in the bio we run every issue. But you grew up in North Caldwell, NJ! What the hell was that like?" I bet we'd learn something we never heard him tell us as he answered that question.

NB: I should say that, if I could, I would go to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC today and remove maybe 8 or 9 Duchamps and pull some of the Rouaults, Kokoschkas, Noldes and Soutines out of storage to take their place. It isn't all about being amused! Or it shouldn't be. I would leave the other 20 Duchamps in place next to the 47 Picassos. Don't worry~,:^)
