Re: [microsound] emotional anxiety

[Kenric Mcdowell <kenricm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have understood Kim's position to be aligned with Duchamp's attempts 
to be anti-retinal. I may be wrong, but it seems that the strongest 
branch of the anti-retinal tree (which is neither seen nor heard when it 
falls) has been conceptualism. Art that exists only in the mind, etc.

I don't think the issue for Duchamp was a negation of emotion. It was an 
affirmation of intellect. I think there is emotion in the large glass. 
Even the earlier mechanical drawings have wonderful retinal a/effects.

Anyway, I'm not an art historian so take it for what it's worth....
