Robert C. Morgan: The Swimming Lessons, 1981 (Translating Duchamp's Green Box), and Related Works Rooster Gallery, NYC
Upon entering the Rooster Gallery in the Lower East Side of New York one is struck by its pristine interior installed with the delectable Robert C. Morgan exhibition The Swimming Lessons, 1981 (Translating Duchamp’s Green Box) that ran from October 30th to December 1, 2013. Apparently, this show was first conceived as a performance that he videotaped in 1981 of two women reading and transcribing random text from Duchamp’s Green Box notes. In the ground level gallery, we heart the recorded sound of two women struggling with the translation of Duchamp's notes from French to English. Although the Betamax imagery decomposed in storage over time, Morgan used the surviving sound recording to superimpose over his film stills used in a series of notational drawings mounted on the gallery’s two walls.
