Publisher's Synopsis
Thinking, acting, and being beyond all categories and conventions. To be apodictic and at the same time open to indifference. To make works that are not artworks but are nevertheless art. To lead discourse without dictating it. Never to repeat oneself. To be lazy instead of occupied. To be free.
The resistivity-in form and thought alike-that distinguishes the oeuvre of Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) is unbroken, his questions are present: What is art? What constitutes an object? What is a subject? What unites and divides science and poetry? What defines our gender and our identity?
Marcel Duchamp is the first comprehensive exhibition in two decades to feature works spanning all phases of the artist's oeuvre from 1902 to 1968.
