520 There are two pieces on this tape. In the first, a video
camera tapes off-air a television set broadcasting a
commercial for National Home Plan hosted by Art
Linkletter. Then a boxing match a light heavy-weight
boxing match between Terry Lee and Ray White comes on
(these two boxers fought three matches February 20, 1971,
December 4, 1971 and February 26, 1972, so the cassette
label date may be in error). A voice imitating a dog
howling is heard off camera. (8 min.) In the second piece
the studio is arranged with a window frame set up next to
a table with a goldfish bowl on it. A naked electric light
bulb hangs from the ceiling. A man sits behind the window
frame reading the San Francisco Examiner. He is wearing a
black hood. A radio plays music and news in the
background. He puts his hand in the goldfish bowl and then
places a monkey figurine in the bowl. He opens the window,
sticks his hand through and artificial snow falls covering
his hand. He closes the window, gets up and looks in a
mirror hanging on the wall. He pretends to comb his hair
over the hood and then pages through a book hanging from
the ceiling. Next he pastes a picture on his chest while
the camera focuses on a biography of Marcel Duchamp tacked
to the wall. He again combs over the hood and
520 places a mask over the hood. He sits behind a table with a
toaster and books and puts pieces of wood in the toaster.
He again places his hand in the fishbowl while shining a
flashlight on the bowl. He scraps the piece of wood with a
knife. He turns the pages of the book hangng from the
ceiling while shining the flashlight on the pages. He
again goes to the mirror and shines the flashlight on his
mask. He picks up a large inflatable rabbit and holds it
to the mirror. He then goes into the bathroom with the
rabbit--sounds of toilet flushing. There is a knock on the
outside door and a woman wearing a mask enters. The two
converse about various topics. (14 min.). Cataloguer
unable to verify whether man in hood is Terry Fox.
