Artist Michael Asher and I read a transcript of an interview with Eve Babitz, the nude model in the photograph of Marcel Duchamp playing chess. Asher reads Babitz’s lines including excerpts from her novel of the late 1970’s, “Sex and Rage.” In the video I teach Asher poker, and the two channels are projected side-by-side with the audio ambient within the space.
