Product Description
Review
"[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, "Artforum"
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The Duchamp scholars represented here are some of the leading European and American critics of their generation - a number of whom have staked out opposing territories, making for an animated critique of this artist and his work. Eric Cameron, Herbert Molderings, and Francis Naumann probe the philosophical implications of Duchamp's skepticism, eroticism and paradoxical acceptance of contradiction. William Camfield and Thierry de Duve investigate the events that led to the creation of Duchamp's infamous "Fountain". Jean Suquet's poetic reading of the "Large Glass" appears here in English for the first time, as does Andre Gervais's voyage through Duchamp's puns, aphrosims, and wordplays. Carol James offers a fresh interpretation of Duchamp's late works as readymades. Craig Adcock and Rosalind Krauss examine to what extent scientific models explain Duchamp's art or are challenged by it, and Molly Nesbit uncovers evidence of how the gender-based teaching of drawing in the Third Republic might have nurtured Duchamp's - or Rrose Selavy's - peculiar use of mechanical drawing.
