9/5-LA4 embarrassingly careless

The biggest, silliest, most embarrassing mistake, happened yesterday, with the furthest trip (few hours drive) so far in LA all the way to Laguna Museum of Art to see a show. I typed Pettiborn in my last entry, which I meant Raymond Pettibon, but it turns out to be a Richard Pettibone's show. Yet despite I only find it out because Shirley find me pretty puzzled after seeing the exhibition, luckily, it is one of the most rewarding show to have visited, for I never knew of this local California artist before. But his work is mostly based on appropiation and mini-scle reproduction, with Duchamp, which is so relevant with my idea of mMK.
And of course, there is this nice beautiful beach and some scenery and some nice chat on the way. I even have a small chat with her sister Sara Tse (also artist) back in Hong Kong on the phone, something I probably have not really done in HK.
And Shirley Tse, teaching in Cal arts, is the only one so far I have talked to, that has really read some de Duve closely enough to point out that I got some of de Duve's view too superficially. I do appreciate that and will look closer at why she say so on the stance of historicizing in de Duve. something I could so far most related not to Kant after Duchamp but on his article in Theory Rules.
