VIS 125DN. Marcel Duchamp (4 units)

Link to catalog page: https://catalog.ucsd.edu/courses/VIS.html#vis125dn

Description

A critical examination of the work of one of the most radical twentieth-century artists. In Duchamp’s four-dimensional perspective, the ideas of art-object, artist, and art itself are deconstructed. The Large Glass and Etant Données are the twin foci of an oeuvre without boundaries in which many twentieth-century avant-garde devices such as chance techniques, conceptual art, and the fashioning of fictive identities, are invented. Prerequisites: none.
