The so-called father of conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp’s influence on modern and contemporary art is wide-ranging. From readymades to Dada, his free-thinking and innovation has inspired generations of artists.
In Marcel Duchamp: Art of the Possible, a new documentary available now on iTunes and Amazon, contemporary masters speak directly to how Duchamp influenced their work. The film not only tells Duchamps’s life story, but shows how his ideas and artworks live on after his death, continuing to influence artist’s thinking and practice.
Carolee Schneemann, whos work with performance art was revolutionary, is one such artist. In a deleted scene below, shown exclusively by Art & Object, Schneemann shares a special memory of Duchamp.
