Marcel Duchamp is today considered one of the most significant 20th
century artists worldwide. His far-reaching influence is visible
within a variety of areas of creative production and critical
inquiry, extending far beyond the world of art. Duchamp
Accelerated: Contemporary Perspectives examines Duchamp and his
reception through a series of essays that explore the ongoing
impacts of his life, ideas and practice on innumerable fields of
research, practice and study. Contributors include art historians,
curators, artists and writers who offer histories and approaches
that actively challenge dominant narratives on Duchamp, discussing
his influences from a multitude of different disciplinary and
cultural perspectives. Written in the specific context of the 21st
century, this volume situates the artist firmly in a global context
and highlights the numerous influences – from theories of
perception and the writings of Georges Bataille, to travels in
Argentina – that shaped his ideas and art. This volume pushes
current understandings of Duchamp beyond existing limits by
accelerating the histories, encounters, dialogues and
interpretations of his practice, with a focus on contemporary
perspectives. The 'accelerated' Duchamp that emerges from this
analysis is one who not only speeds up notions of art in relation
to cultural and political histories, but one whose practice is
actively informing future developments in the worlds of art and
material culture today.
