A meditation on gay socio cultural behavior and art history. By referencing a seminal “readymade” and public locations for male cruising, I’m contextualizing “Fountain” R. Mutt aka Marcel Duchamp as an origin "father" for contemporary art with generations of gay men as "fathers", elders, mentors and artists lost to the HIV/Aids pandemic. Cruising for sex, art and death, intertwine time, place, identity and impermanence stitching them together. The bells toll on.
