1917 to Present   [Work in progress]  c. 2017 Chris Maddox This project acknowledges the 100 year anniversary of Marcel Duchamp's infamous 1917 work "Fountain". During 2017 I am producing 100 mummified books, each a shrine to a 365 day period of cultural and human history. The set is to be arranged in chronological order on a severely protracted shelf, which will rest upon two "fountains”. The reference to Duchamp’s revolutionary cultural epiphany that spurred new attitudes about art and the role of an artist provides guidance regarding the avenue of contemplation 1917 to Present aims to stimulate.

Paolo and Francesca

2017, Chris Maddox

24.5″ x 36.75″ Mixed media on erased 1970s LP record covers

In the first volume of The Divine Comedy, Dante and Virgil meet Francesca and her lover Paolo in the second circle of hell, reserved for the lustful. Here, the couple is trapped in an eternal whirlwind, doomed to be forever swept through the air just as they allowed themselves to be swept away by their passions. Dante calls out to the lovers, who are compelled to briefly pause before him, and he speaks with Francesca. She obliquely states a few of the details of her life and her death, and Dante, apparently familiar with her story, correctly identifies her by name. He asks her what led to her and Paolo's damnation, and Francesca's story strikes such a chord within Dante that he faints out of pity.
