Project #11: Assisted Readymade
Due date 4/24/2020 mostly UNCHANGED!
A term coined by Marcel Duchamp in 1915 to describe prefabricated, often mass-produced objects isolated from their intended use and elevated to the status of art by the artist choosing and designating them as such. The term “assisted Readymade” refers to works of this type whose components have been combined or modified by the artist.
“A piece of art that is used more to picture the work of art with the mind rather than the eye” – Duchamp
