Art can be fun, too. And few things are funnier than meddling with canonised artists, whether they be idols, precursors or stereotypes. This contribution to my series Danke! paraphrases Portrait multiple de Marcel Duchamp (Five-Way Portrait of Marcel Duchamp) from 1917. Having recently arrived to the United States, Duchamp took a photo in photo-booth that depicted him simultaneously from five different vantage points with the help of hinged mirrors. These booths mechanically produced photo-postcards, usually in a small edition that could be shared with friends.
Art theorists would probably write something about fractured identity now, but I prefer to write about my own relationship to Duchamp, which is also somehow fractured. Being one of the (the?) most influential artists of the 20th century, I am still unsure if he did art a favour with his infamous pissoir. However, there’s one thing I absolutely admire about him: unless most of his conceptual followers, he had a great sense of humour.
And allegedly, he liked postcards, a passion that I also share! So I guess I can make it public: Merci Marcel!

Has your feed been flooded with Biennale stories like mine? Are you overwhelmed with FOMO? Dreaming of diving in excrements? 🤿
In 2021, @thehat and me applied for the Austrian Pavillon as F.A.I.L. (Failed Applications International League) with a project that had the catchy title UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICATION FOR THE PROJECT COMPETITION FOR THE CONCEPT AND REALISATION OF THE AUSTRIAN CONTRIBUTION TO THE 59TH VENICE BIENNALE INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION 2021 ✨
We were not selected, as was our goal from the beginning. Since then, I ask myself: If you fail intentionally, is that success? 🤔
Here’s some pages of our application 🤓

This installation would have been part of my booth at SPARK art fair this March. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. I still like it, though 🤓
