In View Of/Crank Mail For M Duchamp (detail)
In View Of/Crank Mail For M DuchampThis piece is a response to critics of Duchamp’s Étant donnés insisting that the scene isn’t a place of violation or danger. I am connecting the idea of safe spaces, who gets to define those, and what it means when the viewer’s gaze is forced to peep. With this work, I use traditionally feminine materials, demanding that the viewer sense their role in a potential violation when they choose to peep.Vintage zippers, wooden spool, peephole, label tape, wood, paper, pins, thimble, ribbon, light. 30” x 16” x 7”2022
