Re: Duchamp

“Re: Duchamp, Traveling ” is one of the most recent works of Abraham Lubelski and incorporates the of over 250 other artists (including Nam June Paik, Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya + Emilia Kabakov, Inka Essenhigh, Taylor Mead, and Larry Weiner, among others). The installation, after Duchamp's installation for the “First Papers of Surrealism”, is an assemblage of clotheslines from which are hung all the artwork to be viewed at once. These shows become a Duchampian metaphor of the contemporary art world.

When Duchamp developed a benefit exhibition for the French Relief Societies in 1942 with a mile of string it was not only to fulfill a commission to do things as cheaply as possible but it was also the opportunity to create a metaphor for the difficulties the visitor often encounters in the attempt to understand modern art. To Duchamp, to Beuys, everything is art and everything is possible. Or at least art is an attempt at the seemingly impossible. Still the greatest dream of everyone is to live a life of : free to be curious, to explore, to seize the moment, to understand. The and the world create a common bond, that we are united in our search for “truth.”

The installation has evolved as it has been presented from country to country. “Re: Duchamp” has already been exhibited in City and in various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and Israel.

The “Re:Duchamp Travelling Exhibition” forms part of the “Markers” project, that involves well-know cultural foundations that operate in Venice, such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Biennale Arti Visive, besides the Municipality of Venice itself.

An artist who uses irony and presentation strategies that employ new communication technologies to question the democratic and equalitarian promises of these media and criticise the desire for control lying behind their apparent transparency. Based on the confirmation that new information and communication technologies are transforming our everyday life, Daniel G. Andújar created a fiction (Technologies To The People, 1996) designed to make us increase our awareness of the reality around us and of the deception in promises of free choice that are converted, irremissibly, into new forms of control and inequality. A long-time member of i rational.org (international reference point for art on the web) and founder of Technologies To The People , he is the creator of numerous projects on the Internet such as art-net-dortmund, e-barcelona.org, e-valencia.org, e-seoul.org, e-wac.org, e-sevilla.org, Materiales de artista, etc. He has directed numerous workshops for artists and social collectives in different countries.
