\nBecause Marcel Duchamp is the freest man of the 20st century.
\nBecause he made this fundamental liberty flourish, he would feed it, all the time, with every breath, every gesture.
\nBecause this liberty is his artwork.
\nBecause it is elegant.
\nBecause it is radical.
\nBecause this liberty is so relentless became natural, necessary, vital.
\nBecause Marcel Duchamp is the nuclear force of Art : manifesting small frictions that create devastating explosions of meaning and emotion.
\nBecause Marcel Duchamp is the one who invents a new politics of seeing.
\nBecause Marcel Duchamp is a stowaway of the Arts who will in spite of himself end up at the bow of the ship.<\/em><\/p>\n\u2015excerpt from the show Marcel Duchamp, a play by Guillaume D\u00e9sanges & Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Cherb\u0153uf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
