Drawer Full of Stuff is an excellent example of Greg Curnoe’s interest in Dada. A “readymade” in the tradition of French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), the work is literally a kitchen drawer acquired from a friend, filled with a collection of the “stuff” of Curnoe’s life. There are disparate items such as a “wallpaper roller left by Grandpa Porter” and a “shaving bomb from the medicine cabinet (still good).” Curnoe valued the “things” of his personal history and used them throughout his life to create his art.
