‘Change Generators’
COLLECTION FOCUS
May 2021 -
Oct 2021
When celebrated French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) began presenting mass-produced, utilitarian objects — which he called ‘readymades’ — in a gallery setting, he disrupted the centuries-long concept of the artist as a skilled creator of original, handmade art. This Collection display featured works by artists who alter everyday items to transform how we think about them.
‘Change Generators’ was on display in GOMA’s Foyer Cabinet from 29 May to 31 October 2021.
