<p>In five short essays, Nicholas Lowie and Sheridan Lowrey begin to articulate a here-to-fore undiscovered theme underlying Marcel Duchamp’s entire oeuvre. They assert that Duchamp’s works problematize the biblical narrative of the Fall: Adam and Eve <br />(the Bride and the Bachelors) are the “one flesh” of the apple (tree)—constituent of physical, chemical, biological, and geometric processes—relative to a “science of morality” (a tenet of <br />Speculative Freemasonry).</p>
<p>The revelatory aspect of Lowie/Lowrey’s Duchamp scholarship is complicated by their further assertion that the L.A.-based <br />Museum of Jurassic Technology (MJT) is the means by which they have “found” Duchamp.

Lowie/Lowrey (and/or the <span class="caps">MJT</span>?) have, in effect, created a hybrid/ a duck-rabbit/a Lincoln-Wilson that belies usual historical lineage.</p>

In five short essays, Nicholas Lowie and Sheridan Lowrey begin to articulate a here-to-fore undiscovered theme underlying Marcel Duchamp's entire oeuvre. They assert that Duchamp's works problematize the biblical narrative of the Fall: Adam and Eve
(the Bride and the Bachelors) are the "one flesh" of the apple (tree)--constituent of physical, chemical, biological, and geometric processes-- relative to a "science of morality" (a tenet of
Speculative Freemasonry).
The revelatory aspect of Lowie/Lowrey's Duchamp scholarship is complicated by their further assertion that the L.A.-based
Museum of Jurassic Technology (MJT) is the means by which they have "found" Duchamp. Lowie/Lowrey's texts suggest that the MJT
plays the role of precedent for a body of works that were conceived well before it. Lowie/Lowrey (and/or the MJT?) have, in effect, created a hybrid/ a duck-rabbit/a Lincoln-Wilson that belies usual historical lineage.
