Summary |
"Marcel Duchamp lived in Buenos Aires for nine months between 1918 and 1919. Although his time in the city left few traces; only some letters and enigmatic works, it would not be unreasonable to suggest that his time as a citizen of Buenos Aires (a mysterious point of inflection between his abandonment of painting and the disturbing art he would later produce) was the beginning of an alternative history of modern art. Graciela Speranza follows the development of the revolutionary notions that Duchamp applied to his objects, paying special attention to the interaction between thought, vision and word that his work inspires even today for many different Argentinean writers and artists." -- translation of cover |
