And there were some rather interesting recent podcast episodes there, including this one pictured above, considering my last post was about the 'Barbie'/'Babylon' movies -
I also found it personally amusing to find this image above of a Baba Yaga on thePsyche's Cinemahomepage, as I had just bought Krissy Kneen's book on Wednesday night from the Avid Reader bookstore literally off Krissy and Krissy signed it for me, too -
I watched the movies 'Barbie'and 'Babylon'back-to-back last week on theBINGE streaming network before my subscription ran out, and have to say that it's a way better combo than a 'Barbie'/'Oppenheimer'double, although they run for about as long.
I had seen both 'Barbie'and 'Babylon' when they hit the cinema screens, but never as a double feature before.
I have had so many synchs involvingapples, monkeys, turtles and Chicago over the last few months and couldn't figure out what tied them all together, until this podcast dropped onto my Apple Podcastplaylist this morning from the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago.
"A tall, thin door stands ajar – but it is also closed. In 1927 a carpenter, working to Marcel Duchamp’s specifications, installed a door in a corner of Duchamp’s studio at 11, rue Larrey, Paris. The apartment was small, and Duchamp wanted to solve the problem of not being able to close off the bathroom and bedroom from the main space. This was achieved by a clever design which proposed that a single door be inserted into the cramped corner where the two doorways were juxtaposed at a ninety-degree angle. This deployment of a single door for an area that seemed to require two meant that when the opening to the bedroom was fully closed, that to the bathroom remained open, and vice versa, thus countering the French saying that a door cannot be open and shut at the same time. Arturo Schwarz, in his The Complete Works of Marcel Duchamp (Thames and Hudson, 1969) described this structure as a “Three-dimensional pun: a door which is permanently opened and shut at the same time” (p. 496)."
Everyone likes a good story, I guess ... and movie?
