HOW TO LIVE: MARCEL DUCHAMP AND CONTEMPORAY ART

How to live? Marcel Duchamp and contemporary art
Cicle of conferences by Carlos Basualdo

Marcel Duchamp declared in an interview in 1966 that he has attempted to make of his life a work of art - instead of spending his life making works of art. Taking this extraordinary statement as a starting point, Carlos Basualdo, the Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, discusses Duchamp’s seminal work in connection with a group of contemporary artists such as Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno and Jasper Johns.
