"Duchamp's 'Fountain' is the message that brings us the news. The news that we no longer live in an art world where, in order to be an artist, you have to be a painter or a sculptor, or a poet, or a composer, or a playwright, or a novelist, you name it."
"Fia Backström's Queens Museum exhibition replaces beauty and complexity with a visual and narrative language that reduces the region to a site of suffering."
Marcel Duchamp's solo exhibition at MoMA celebrates his return to New York after more than 50 years. The exhibition highlights his revolutionary contributions to modern art, including the iconic 'Fountain.' Thierry de Duve discusses Duchamp's influence, emphasizing that art no longer requires traditional forms like painting or sculpture. The newsletter also features responses from artists addressing contemporary issues in the art community, including affordability and representation in exhibitions, reflecting ongoing challenges for artists in New York.
