THE SEDUCTION OF DUCHAMP
BAY AREA ARTISTS’ RESPONSE
CURATED BY:
Hanna Regev
& Steven Lopez
“Although I never consciously set out on my artistic journey to emulate Duchamp, I see now after 30 years, the impact he’s had on my art work is huge. Like Duchamp, I often choose odd discarded objects that fascinate me due to their suggestive qualities. I alter the way they are viewed by changing their purpose from something functional to symbolic form. I then recombine them in precarious situations with other objects, then, further alter the perception of these objects by attaching enigmatic titles to them.
Duchamp’s works that have most influenced me are the Readymade, In Advance of the Broken Arm and the Assisted Readymade, With Hidden Noise. When one of my sculptures makes me laugh-I know it’s working. And, I can tell that Duchamp, by the glints I’ve seen in his (photographed) eye, must have often been amused by his own work.” Charlie Milgrim
