Identifier: CC-55605-64906
Scope and Contents Wikipedia: The Gas Heart or The Gas-Operated Heart[1] (French: Le CÅ“ur à gaz) is a French-language play by Romanian-born author Tristan Tzara. It was written as a series of non sequiturs and a parody of classical drama"”it has three acts despite being short enough to qualify as a one-act play.

L.H.O.O.Q., 2005

 Item — Box 196: [Barcode: 31858072459666]
Identifier: CC-50529-71601
Scope and Contents

The title of this piece is from Duchamps' version of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa who has been adorned with a comical moustache and goatee thus deserving its alternate title Joconde aux Moustaches. The title is essentially a phonetic game. As Duchamp himself noted in a 1966 interview, "I really like this kind of game, even in any language, some astonishing things happen." When read quickly in French, the title L.H.O.O.Q. sounds like a sentence translating to "She has a hot ass." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
