In celebration of the museum's recent acquisition of Marcel Duchamp's
"Box in a Valise," one of the most influential works of art of the
twentieth century, Hood Director Michael Taylor will explore the complex ideas
behind this portable museum, in which miniature reproductions of the
artist's most significant works are cleverly arranged inside a red
valise.

Marcel Duchamp is famous for inventing the "readymade"—a form of art that reframes ordinary commodities as art. This seemingly simple gesture has had an enormous impact on art since 1960. By focusing on the objects on view at MAM, David Joselit, Carnegie Professor in the History of Art, Yale University, gives an account of the readymade's complexity and variety.
