Farage's grinning response says it all. Every day Reform and its supporters reveal themselves for who they are and yet the media continues to treat them as just another normal political party.

On An Anthology of Chance Operations, accompanying the Getty's digital copy of their unique bound copy, Benjamin Piekut's illuminating introductory essay - it is well worth a read. www.getty.edu/publications...

The Scores Project: La Monte Young, ed.: An Anthology of Chance Operations (1962–63)

So, returning to M for Robert Morris, listed in the contents page and section page, of the 1963 first edition, but without any actual content - Morris having moved on from Maciunas and Fluxus. The Getty has a unique bound copy of the book including Morris's 1961 contributions, and here they are:

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

A sunday intermission on diter rot's black page with holes. Apparently producing die-cut holes on black card was too expensive, so white card was used instead. For the 1970 reprint rot's contribution was retitled white page with holes (comma deleted). (Black card here from Moma Silverman collection)

twenty-two is Emmett Williams I will reconvene next week with the final contributors, a revisit to Robert Morris and a few thoughts (...and if anyone is still interested I must think of my next favourite 60s book to treat in this way.)

As no. 17 was such a paltry offering Here is no. 18 : Simone Morris

Andrew Wilson @andrewgwilson.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
So, no. 17 is the Robert Morris title page. His contents were removed from the published version but his title page couldn't be, being on the other side of Richard Maxfield's final page. More about this later.

Andrew Wilson @andrewgwilson.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Like the last 250 years didn't count. Trump didn't want to be President, he wants to be President for Life (a King, a Dictator, whatever). That's why he is plastering his name everywhere and putting his face on everything in his lifetime - branding America as Trumptown.

Duchamp, Sloan & their merry band even created their own "Declaration of Independence of Greenwich Village," which they all signed—a document reproduced in my book on Sloan yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...
Facsimile document that looks like a declaration, this one declaring Greenwich Village an independent republic

While we're on the subject of arches: in 1917, with WWI raging in Europe, Marcel Duchamp, John Sloan & others broke into NYC's Washington Square Arch, climbed to top, & declared Greenwich Village an independent republic—as memorialized in Sloan's "Arch Conspirators" (Duchamp at left, Sloan at right)
