Duchamp Duchamp! (My Dinner with DD)


 by Group Art Tangent
with Mona Hurri, Jules, and Madeleine Baker

July 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 at 6:30 pm @ site-specific venues 
- All tours start at Clemente Soto Vélez - 107 Suffolk Street $20

Renowned French art historians Mona Hurri, Jules, and Madeleine Baker will
reveal (through interactive lecture, performance, and art archeology) the life and
work of the little known, widely influential artist and theoretician Duchamp
Duchamp. Less known than his sister Suzanne Duchamp and his three brothers
Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Marcel Duchamp, André
Duchamp, also known as “DD” then Duchamp Duchamp, was a butcher and
delicatessen owner before turning to the field of art to challenge his famous
brother Marcel. He developed unique and widely dispersed polymorphic work
and a theory of art, which became the seeds for the Art Tangent movement, one
of the precursors of the Constructivists. The curators of this program will
organize “a series of events around his personality, in various places
(delicatessens, dry cleaners, museums, art galleries, etc.) to share our knowledge
of this man who has for too long remained in the shadows.”

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
