Ready-made : Performances by objects

A performance indispensable to the film, the projection is envisaged by the artists brought together in this programme as the place where the ready-made is activated. In moving from one stage to another, the works projected bring to light certain fundamental characteristics of the anaesthesia brought about by Duchampian objects. With a distinct touch of humour, their disconcerting banality and productive uselessness reinforce the shifts of sense so cherished by Marcel Duchamp.Screening followed by a conversation with Erika Balsom (King's College, London).
