Course Description
This seminar provides an opportunity to explore not only the familiar though endlessly fascinating episodes of Duchamp's career (Nude Descending a Staircase; the readymade; the Large Glass; the Boite-en-valise; the persona of Rrose Sélavy, his films and exhibition designs, for example), but also works such as Etant Donnés, which has received renewed attention in what is now an extensive recent literature on this work and on Duchamp more generally that will provide a platform for drawing connections with issues, media, critical literatures and artists of students' own choosing.
