"3 Standard Stoppages," Marcel Duchamp발음듣기

Marcel Duchamp had been trained as a painter.발음듣기

He was a very capable painter in the Impressionist style, a very terrific painter in the Cubist style.발음듣기

At the end of 1912 Duchamp decided "Painting is dead, I'm going to turn to different things."발음듣기

1913 was the year that Duchamps made his first Readymade by putting an ordinary, store-bought bicycle wheel atop an ordinary store-bought kitchen stool.발음듣기

What Duchamps said is, "It is my power of choice, it is my deed of making a selection, that makes a work a work of art."발음듣기

One of the things he did in 1913 was re-imagine how long a meter could be.발음듣기

He did so with the work of art behind me called The Standard Stoppages.발음듣기

He called The Standard Stoppages a Readymade because it was it was a readymade idea that a meter is a given thing, so he was making a new meter.발음듣기

It was just a Duchampian meter, and here's how he made it.발음듣기

He decided to cut 3 threads a meter in length and then to stand with the 3 threads a meter above 3 canvases.발음듣기

He then proceeded to drop each thread to the canvas below.발음듣기

And he fixed each of the threads on the canvas, cut down the canvas into a rectangle, and pronounced these the new standard.발음듣기

It was a work that was beautiful in its concept.발음듣기

If you're going to make a new meter stick, you should use it.발음듣기

It shouldn't be an abstract tool that you have sitting around.발음듣기

The way Duchamps decided to put The Standard Stoppage to use was on an old painting that he had made several years ago and abandoned.발음듣기

Tracing with his templates that he had made from the way the threads fell on the canvases, these very beautiful curvy shapes to grow kind of like this weird coral, calling the picture Network of Stoppages.발음듣기

Duchamps remains, 100 years later, one of the most daring challengers of ideas that, a century on, we still hold pretty dear about what a work of art could be.발음듣기
