Scholar Thierry de Duve Analyzes Duchamp's Legacy in MoMA Exhibition Interview

Scholar Thierry de Duve discusses Marcel Duchamp's enduring influence in an interview about MoMA's new exhibition featuring seven "boîtes-en-valise." De Duve describes Duchamp's miniature exhibitions-in-a-box as anticipating museum logic, calling it "Duchamp's typical genius." The interview explores what it means to live in a "post-Duchamp" world, with de Duve noting that Duchamp's "Fountain" brought transformative news to the art world. The exhibition includes works from 1935–1941. Art fair coverage spans Chicago, São Paulo, and New York, with reports on Expo Chicago, SP-Arte's 22nd edition, IFPDA Print Fair at Park Avenue Armory, and Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair. A virtual talk with MacArthur grant winner Tonika Lewis Johnson is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15, focusing on social practice art and segregation. Other content includes a sponsored exhibition "In Kyoung Chun: Make Room" at Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, a remembrance of performer Agosto Machado, studio features on artists Billy Biondi and Katya Granova, and an archival piece on Duchamp's 1953 Dada catalogue designed to be discarded.
