I like Duchamp. He seems like me type of guy! Taking something that already exists and calling it art…genius! Obviously there is a deeper theoretical context to it. A good quote from Duchamp:
“It is necessary to arrive at selecting an object with the idea of not being impressed by this object on the basis of enjoyment of any order. However, it is difficult to select an object that absolutely does not interest you, not only on the day on which you select it, and which does not have any chance of becoming attractive or beautiful and which is neither pleasant to look at nor particularly ugly.”
I like this idea of the ‘Readymade’. It makes the world seem like a better place.
