Ch 36: Marcel Duchamp Stir everything Up. Paul causes a stir at the Sunday market with his prototypes of old dial phones converted to allow cell phones ( top left) & gets quite a few orders. Dadé and Mona head to Beaubourg walking by the Bazar de l‘Hôtel de Ville, BHV ( top right) which is where MD‘s ‘Bottle Rack‘ ( bottom right) originated from, he called it ‘ready-made‘. Later on MD would submit ‘Fountain‘ ( bottom left) to an exhibition cont‘d

mcctrish The exhibition claimed they would accept any/all contributions but didn‘t want the ‘ready-made‘ urinal. MDs stirring of the art world pot led to art movements like Dada, surrealism and pop art. MD “wants to break conventions. Always. …. he draws our attention to society‘s ways, to what it decided is normal. “ we need artists to push boundaries #europacollective 1d
