Curated by Hanna Regev this past fall, The Seduction of Duchamp: Bay Area Artists’ Response, investigated the influence and legacy of Marcel Duchamp on San Francisco Bay Area artists.

About:
According to Hanna Regev, the exhibition examines Duchamp's long lasting fascination and influence on today’s Bay Area artists who continue to grapple with critical questions he raised about the conditions under which art is created and marketed setting a trend that has not abated. Duchamp’s influence on Bay Area artists is seen through merged and new imagery in a diversity of artworks that evokes Duchamp’s
masterpieces and provocative works.

Two of the 35 artists that were represented in this exhibit are local architects Luke Ogrydziak and Zoe Prillinger of the firm Ogrydziak / Prillinger Architects. On January 19th, Luke Ogrydziak and Zoe Prillinger will discuss the making of their model, Time-Out / Temps Mort, as it relates to Duchamp and the exhibit:

Artist Statement:
A space-filling machine releases incipient curves into a closed space. Endowed with velocity and an erratic sense of direction, the curves wander freely, indifferent and indeterminate, constrained only by the law of non-self-intersection. Eventually, the curves exhaust their geometric potential and the computational limit of their maker.

The machine is at work. These are the traces of three of an infinite number of possible lifetimes.

The moderator of the program is Theo Armour and Matthew Peek will give the commentary and the context of their model.
