A luminous text that will set the listener free! This CD is devoted exclusively to Marcel Duchamp and brings some very rare documents, all of which are crucial not only to understand Duchamp’s work but also grasp the rebellious, unconventional, anti-conformist spirit that was Zurich of 1919.

Schultz looks at the work of artists Yuan Cai and Jian Jun Xi, whose practice takes literally the provocations of artists (like Duchamp) who import everyday objects into the art gallery context. For instance, in 1999 they stripped down to their undies and romped around on Tracey Emin’s bed, as well as urinating on Duchamp’s Fountain (his urinal from 1917) in 2000. […]
