"[A]
beautifully designed book ...
Duchamp emerges here as gendered, textual, carnal, and visual.... The
discussion fostered by the Nova Scotia
colloquium not only points to the future of
Duchamp studies but
suggests some significant directions for the new art history." -- Mason Klein,
ArtforumThe Duchamp scholars represented here are among the leading European and American critics of their generation. Their 11 essays offer lively and diverse pespectives on the artist, focusing on the major issues surrounding his contribution: the philosophical implications of Duchamp's skepticism, eroticism, and paradoxical acceptance of contradiction; the events leading to the creation of the infamous Fountain; a reinterpretation of Duchamp's late works as readymades; and the influence of scientific models on his art. Copublished with the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
