We put the figure of Christ
into the context of the divine without recognizing Christ as divine—and that is
what makes him genuinely new. But the same can be said of the readymades of
Duchamp. Here we are also dealing with difference beyond difference—now
understood as difference between the artwork and the ordinary, profane object. Accordingly,
we can say that Duchamp’s Fountain is a kind of Christ among
things, and the art of the readymade a kind of Christianity of the art world.

[…] There is also a
certain perversity in the artists’ decision to devote many hours and much skill
to handcrafting imitations of mass-produced objects.
These detailed replicas bring to mind Marcel Duchamp’s ‘readymades’. Duchamp
took pre-existing, mass-produced objects, such as a bicycle wheel and urinal,
and presented them in a gallery context as works of art. However, while
Duchamp’s objects were the real thing, that sense of authenticity is undermined
in Fischli / Weiss’ sculpted simulations. Discussing the parallel, Fischli
comments: ‘Duchamp’s objects could revert back to everyday life at any point in
time. Our objects can’t do that; they’re only there to be contemplated. They’re
all objects from the world of utility and function, but they’ve become
utterly useless.’

[…] Here is the
interview with the artist from our March 1993 issue, until then unpublished.
Two years before Marcel Duchamp’s death in
1968, the Belgian director, Jean Antoine, filmed an interview with the artist
in his Neuilly studio in the summer of 1966.
This was shown on French-speaking Belgian television in 1971 in the programme
“Signe des Temps” (Sign of the Times)…[…].
This transcript, edited for The Art Newspaper, is the most faithful rendering
possible of the way Marcel Duchamp expressed himself. It is a remarkable
document that gives us a fresh and immediate insight into his mind. […]

[…] He coined the term
"readymade" referring to the every day objects that aren't usually
considered are but are art in the eyes of the artist himself such as the
bottlerack made in 1914. Duchamp
influenced modern artists such as Andy Warhol who sort of took
the idea of readymades and instead made paintings from them. Warhol took the
concept of every day objects or people and made them into paintings that people
would easily recognize such as the Campbell's Tomato soup can. Duchamp also
inspired Warhol's work in Pop art, using pop culture images merged together in
an unconventional way[…]

[…] An examination of the evolution of
aesthetic anarchism into institutionalised transgression begins with Duchamp’s
Fountain, 1917. This work is critical because it has become an icon of
deconstructive art—and, more particularly, deconstructive sculpture. It is also
particularly relevant to the growth of installation art as a major movement in
the 1990s, not least because installation art is intimately connected with the
role of the gallery/museum. It was the Readymade, encompassed by the discourses
of Dada and Surrealism, which revealed the gallery/museum as an aesthetic
regime that determines what is and what is not art via processes of inclusion
and exclusion…..

Έκθεση/Exhibition: Reinventing
the Wheel: the Readymade Century
3 October
– 14 December 2013, Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), Melbourne
(© visual.artshub,
monash.edu
)
Arguably the most influential development in art of
the twentieth century, the use of the readymade was set in motion 100 years ago
with Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle
Wheel. Giving birth to
an entire artistic language, Duchamp’s conversion of an unadorned, everyday
object into a figure of high art completely inverted how people considered
artistic practice. Suddenly, art was capable of being everywhere and in
everything. It was a revolutionary moment in modern art, and the ripples from
this epochal shift still resonate today.[…] The exhibition presents works
by over 50 artists – from
Duchamp and Man Ray to Andy Warhol and Martin Creed, along with some of
Australia’s leading practitioners ….

Marcel
Duchamp: Art changed for ever
(©The telegraph.co.uk)

| (Marcel Duchamp L.H.O.O.Q., 1919 ©The telegraph.co.uk) |
...As he worked on The Large Glass between 1912 and
1915, Duchamp gradually came to locate the essence of the art work in its
appeal to the mind, not the eye. The ready-made was born when he realised that
something can change its meaning without changing its form. From this it
follows that the context in which an object is seen is all-important, and that
what we see depends on what we look for…[…]Marcel
Duchamp was best-known for his 'ready-made' urinal, redefined art - but he was
not alone in his daring iconoclasm…[…] Man Ray explored the concept of the ready-made in Obstruction, a
mobile made by hanging dozens of wooden coat-hangers together from the ceiling,
and by unravelling a paper lampshade to create a spiralling abstract sculpture.……

[...]...Duchamp had other targets in mind when selecting a
urinal as a readymade sculpture. He wanted to question the very notion of what
constituted a work of art as decreed by academics and critics, whom he saw as
the self-elected and largely unqualified arbiters of taste. His position was
that if an artist said something was a work of art, having influenced its
context and meaning, then it was a work of art, or at least demanded to be
judged as such. He realised that although this was a fairly simple proposition
to grasp, it would revolutionise art if accepted....
