I shall do this through an investigation of Duchamp’s readymades and his writings on “indifference,” as well as Duchamp’s most complex work, The Large Glass. I shall show that Duchamp’s works accomplish a recalibration of the work-spectator relationship through which modern art reclaims and proclaims the object’s inherent rights to self-manifestation and self-affirmation. I conclude by showing that the challenge posed by Duchamp’s art does not pertain to art alone, but calls for a genuine renewal of our ethical relationship with the other generally. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
