Right after I left from the Menil Collection I went over to the contemporary arts museum of houston to view the ready made and assembly art exhibits. The building is huge just like the Menil collection building still can't get any 3G in any of the buildings so obviously no pictures could be uploaded let alone taken. I did find interest in the Marcel Duchamp ready made art not only because I think he should be the curator since he started in the 1915s or 1920s but gave inspiration to other artist such as Bill Bollinger ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>
who created an piece of art from a cage material. As I looked at this piece of art the title of the exhibit came to me "It is what it is. Or is it?"
and knowing that mr marcel duchamps idea of having the person who is looking at the piece of art think to themselves is this art or something else like he shows us as an example in our text book on page 504 "The Fountain" 1917 its a urinal from China makes you think ok this is a urinal to urinate in but is it something else? and thats the same presence Mr. Bollinger was trying to portray in his sculpture.
