I have to say that I find it disturbing to read the responses of unenlightened people who refer to themselves as artists. Duchamp was probably one of the most advanced artists in history. The idea that displacing an object from its natural environment (Such as a bicycle wheel or bottle dryer) and putting it into an alien one turns said object into art was absolute genius. The problem lays with the people who take Duchamos work at face value and call it elementary or even fake. I believe that Duchamp is directly challenging his viewer. He himself said that he is an artist and therefore what he makes . We can each judge his work -and all work for that matter - to be either good or bad but we cannot label it as fake or "not art". Now, all this being said, I really like the work you've done here. I enjoy the irony of the word chosen because everyone who has heard of Duchamp seems to have a strong opinion of him that almost always hinges toward one extreme or the other.
