Biography: Duchamp and his Game

Duchamp and his Game

During May was the end of year show for my first year of degree studies where I exhibited this Sculpture as my final piece. It was an interesting project which definitely focused on ideas and concepts as appose to hand drawn illustration or narrative based work. The project began looking at the life of Marcel Duchamp. I played with the idea of his Readymades and chess which took up the majority of his later life. I mainly wanted to have fun with this and incorporate humor just as Duchamp did in his art. By using everyday objects which were just gathered from around the flat, I think viewers approach this piece more easily and are intrigued by objects they are familiar with.
