What is "Étant Donnés"?

Marcel Duchamp, Étant - Womens (installation External)

1946 -1966. Assembling of different materials

242,5X177,8X1245cm, Philadelphia Museum of Art - Philadelphia

This three-dimensional assemblage is the work of Duchamp works in secret last two decades of his life: the only person that knows about it is the wife Teeny, which among other things helps him find the necessary materials. Part of the components of this complex structure are in fact purchased in Spain (an ancient wooden door and bricks within which is walled); other (leaves and dead branches) are collected by Duchamp during special outings with his wife accompanying Marcel driving an old station wagon; bricks used or waste are recovered in New York, for hiding the road by paper bags. When Duchamp is forced to change study and to move from 14th Street to 11th ^ a moving company takes care of the most bulky parts, while he carries the whole piece by piece and the rest with the utmost care. In 1968, when he left New York to go to spend the summer in Europe, work is now completed and Marcel Before dying cares for organizing its final presentation preparing an instruction manual for installation of the building, enclosing photographs , notes and a scale model. The work will be presented at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. At the museum visitor is initially shows only a door, there is an impediment in the wall of a room: the door is closed and to see what there is inside you have to peek through two holes placed at eye level. In this way, the work of art viewer turns into a curious voyeur. Giovanni Bonanno
