MARCEL DUCHAMP
I have mentioned before I think that I was a part of study group at Leicester Polytech Fine Art Dept under historian Fred Orton and composer Gavin Bryars. We interviewed Richard Hamilton about his days teaching at Newcastle and the reconstruction of the Large Glass and I was lucky enough to call Richard a friend later as he and his lovely partner and fine artist in her own right, Rita Donagh, were so welcoming to me and always spoke when they visited MOMA years later when I worked there and when I interviewed him for my final thesis in their wonderful house in Highgate back in the early seventies.
This is from grupaok who are Julian Myers and Joanna Szupinska
Marcel Duchamp, The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), 1915–1923, on view in the International Exhibition of Modern Art arranged by the Société Anonyme, installation detail, Brooklyn Museum, 1926.
Remarkably, this was the only time that Duchamp’s masterwork was exhibited publicly before its glass panes shattered. Painstakingly reassembled by Duchamp in the 1930s, the work survives in a broken state.
grupa o.k.’s essay on the 1926 exhibition, titled “Bachelor Modernism,” will be published in The Avant-Garde Museum, edited by Agnieszka Pindera and Jarosław Suchan and published by Muzeum Sztuki, Łódź. A preview of our essay is available HERE for download and discussion.
Along with other essays on the Société, the book also examines the Soviet Museums of Artistic Culture, El Lissitzky’s Abstract Cabinet, and (our namesake) grupa a.r.’s Neoplastic Room, and includes source texts by Lissitzky, Rodchenko, Malevich, Katherine Dreier, Władysław Strzemiński, and more.
