Ok.  You have failed the sobriety test which was to know not to sit on eggs no matter where they are.

 

Chaise Lilas Avec Oeufs (Lilac Chair with Eggs), 1965, eggshells and wooden chair with paint. Marcel Broodthaers, 1924-1976, Belgian. Philadelphia Art Museum

 

 

So here’s a remedy from the Belgian, Marcel Broodthaers.

He concocted it for you and notated it in the hope of a loftier comportment on your behalf in the future. 

 

Because you have disgraced yourself, even it is Thanksgiving and you don’t get on with half your family………

 

 

 

 

Pour un haut devenir du comportement artistique (For a lofty future of the artistic comportment), 1964, printed book cover, metal screws, eggshells, and plaster on panel.

Marcel Broodthaers, 1924-1976, Belgian. Private collection on loan to a 2016 exhibition at MOMA, NY

The museum noted that the book is by Michel Tapié, a French curator and critic of art.  It is bolted onto a plaster panel. The text condemned the new generation of artists: neo-Dada, POP art, Nouveau Realisme.  Tapié would have disapproved this use of his book.

 

 

 

A lot of raw eggs

shaken up with milk.  No, a little added brandy is not part of his solution.

Drink up.  You are going to have to get through a lot of raw eggs the amount you have drunk…….
