In the Future the Artist Will Say: That Object is a Work of Art
A Group Show Curated by Raul Zamudio
Friday, June 22, 7 pm // 195 Morgan Avenue


The exhibition's title, In the Future the Artist Will Say : That Object is a Work of Art, is a quote by French surrealist artist Marcel Duchamp. In response to a query about the readymade, Duchamp replied that in the future, the artist will not make anything, but simply point to an object and say, that is a work of art.

This exhibition explores how artists demarcate a thin line between what is art and what is an ordinary object. In another reference to the readymade, Duchamp stated that his Bottle Rack (1914) should be considered an object that had lost its destination. Rather than ending up in oblivion at the museum’s restaurant, his Bottle Rack was inadvertently dropped off in the museum’s exhibition space, thus transforming it into a work of art.

Curated by Raul Zamudio, this exhibition will bring together disparate works in painting, work-on-paper, photography, sculpture, video, audio, performance, and installation.

With music and complimentary beer.
