Duchamp's readymades propose that designation can constitute a work without making. A work existing as instructions realised by others moves towards Goodman's allographic side. For performance, what survives is not the work but the documentation. For net art, conservation becomes a question of emulation rather than of cleaning and repair.
The second blank links this lesson to the first one in the unit. A work that exists as instructions others realise is allographic in Goodman's sense, like a score, which means a whole class of contemporary practice has quietly changed sides on a distinction drawn to separate painting from music.
