Reading Duchamp
Sat, Nov 12, 2011–Mon, Jan 9, 2012

“It has always bothered me that art is referred to as 'visual art', that it has something to do with looking. Art simply adopted this position and nobody ever questions what kind of position that is." Bethan Huws
Reading Duchamp is the title of Bethan Huws’ installation, which is made up of nine photographs and seven texts. The photographs, taken by Huws in 1999 and 2000, portray fountains in parks and around the city. The seven texts were written during her ongoing linguistic and iconografic research into the works of Marcel Duchamp.
