is difficult role of a critic. Much more when you have to take on an artist in a brilliantly lucid mind does not let even the slightest comment from his partner.
In the book of Pierre Bourdieu rules of art, it recreates an interview with Marcel Duchamp that always seemed funny and very problematical. In the texts of art, no longer abound the multiple interpretations that make theoretical works they see, looking intellectualize the work to its conclusion and especially an artist of such significance path, weaving and unraveling assumptions about each of the fragments that compose it.
In this conversation, transcribe it, then come deal of speculation in relation to their works, performances on their own and others over many details that the reporter no longer given to the grand master of conceptual art, being denied each and every one then by the same artist:
- Returning to his ready made, I thought R. Mutt, the signing of the Fountain was the name of the manufacturer. But in an article I read Rosalind Krauss: "R. Mutt, to points on the German armut, or poverty ". Poverty, that completely subvert the meaning of the Fountain .
- Rosalind Krauss? "The redhead? It is not that at all. You can deny it. Mutt comes from Mott Works, the name of a great company of instruments of hygiene. But Mott was too close, then turned it into Mutt, he had a comic strip that is published every day then, Mutt and Jef, everyone knew. There was thus from the beginning, a resonance. Mutt, chubby and funny, Jef, tall and thin ... I wanted a different name. And I added Richard ... Richard is fine for a urinal! You see, the opposite of poverty ... but even that, only A. R. Mutt.
- What is the possible interpretation of the bicycle wheel? Can we see in it the integration of movement in the work of art? Or a fundamental starting point, like the Chinese, who invented the wheel?
- This machine has no purpose, except to get rid of the appearance of the artwork. It was a fantasy. I did not call her "work of art." I wanted to finish with the desire to create works of art. (...)
- What about geometry book exposed to the weather? Can we say that it is the idea of \u200b\u200bintegrating time in space? "Playing with the term" geometry in space "and" time " Rain or shine, whose intervention would transform the book?
- No. Nor is the idea of \u200b\u200bintegrating movement in sculpture. It's just humor, unequivocally humor, humor. To denigrate the seriousness of a book of principles.
Sometimes things are simpler than they appear and try to complicate too the creative process always leads to no good purpose, as they rarely correspond to the procedures of an exact science.
I think there's some validity to what you said that once the work is done and exposed to public consideration, that work no longer belongs to its author. Since then his opinion is a more possible, perhaps the most authoritative and the next, yes, but one of thousands possible to enrich the final product.
After reading this interview, I would like to witness an anachronism, because I can not help wondering what it would be an interview conducted by Luis Majul Duchamp: for rent balcony!
