    Duchamp's art object calls to mind the theory of Holons. Where the mere thinking about a 'Heap' (wood stick), turns it into an 'Artifact' (weapon) even before it is ever held by a human hand. Thanks for the lesson. I'm signed up for Sept.

    It really make me thinks a lot. I still think art should be something aesthetic, something evoke emotions or something conceptually new. Withdrawing the everyday objects from contexts and put it in the museum doesn't change the fact that the art since can be mass produced and require zero skills. If Duchamp was famous simply because he was the first one claim the art, then I feel I am as great as him. Because I can also interpret new realization from (reconfiguring of ) everyday objects, while not unabashedly claiming I am a 'revolutionary artist'.

      If after becoming a 'revolutionary artist" you could perhaps withdraw to your atelier and attempt to become a Grand Master of chess as Marcel did, if you could. The point was always, "A live nude is always better than a painted one." He was a breather and it amused him. Always, life first.

      You could have, but he did. That’s the difference.

      And he did it in a period where it was unheard of . it got us talking.

    The idea of selecting something and putting it in a museum and admiring it aesthetically is known as "curation".

    I appreciate this series for all the possibly positive points you're making on behalf of the modern sensibility of artists, and I will see it through. However, it strikes me that the modern art con/Archon is a progressive defacing of the culture. Duchamp deworld-ing the urinal is literally taking the piss. It's a tasteless joke, likely an infinite jest. Profaning the sacred and worshiping the profane is an inversion of value. Inevitably I see Faustian culture transmuting into an emergent Antichrist culture. The crafting of a recursive looping Neo Babylon fractal. By spinning out and remixing the past in progressively more distorted echoes of original patterns, we delay the endgame revelation of the Correction and prolong the rule of the Demiurge.
    Or is this sentiment a form of death drive? I don't personally feel pessimistic - life goes on - but I do acknowledge winter when it arrives.

      Interesting interpretation! It's two years old, but I must ask you, what are your thoughts on Metamodernism then? Is it just delaying the inevitable or is it breathing new life?

    Some people are just dazzled by the persona and would be hard pressed to say exactly why they give a fig about the deceased otherwise. Imagine a fat and bald Duchamp, the hardware parts would strike everyone other than the way they do.

    Duchamp introduced the concept that the idea is more important than the art object itself; the visual experience becomes secondary to the object's philosophical importance. Visual Arts is a visual experience. If a painter finds that the idea is more important than the object, he is in the wrong field of expression. Duchamp, to me, was a lazy painter, and lazy philosopher. If a painter is more interested in philosophical ideas he should write a book, and thoroughly research his topic; but instead, he introduces half-baked philosophical ideas behind objects that are unable to stand on their own-- as an absorbing visual experience.

      If he would've written a book he wouldn't have been noticed. Study his work and you may realise what a genious he was.
