Visual Arts, Columbia University, New York

This course examines ways of looking and ways of seeing, both personally & professionally as artists and in a larger cultural context. Through field trips to contemporary art and other cultural sites, conversations with visiting critical thinkers and practicioners, readings, discussions, and visual & written responses, we will examine how we look, think, act, create and respond--critically questioning our own artistic practices and ways of looking at the world.

strange fragment of a strange artwork


This image is a fragment of a photography of "The Fountain" of Marcel Duchamp. I think that this signing is very important to understand the artwork (or to don't understand it). The artist didn't sign with his real name. The pseudonym was a way to be "grotesque". Nobody really knows why Duchamp sign "R.Mutt".
 In fact, this is the most inapprehensible
 fragmented picture of one of the most inapprehensible artwork.
The date is the only true thing...why ? Why not ?
