“Sounds Lasting and Leaving” at Luxembourg & Dayan
Among the many little notes that Duchamp stuffed into hisGreen Boxis one about what the artist calls “musical sculpture”:“Sounds lasting and leaving from different places and forming a sounding sculpture which lasts.” The quote has been borrowed and slightly modified for the title of a new show at Luxembourg & Dayan that brings together an impressive cadre of artists from the early 20th century to today (Joseph Beuys, David Hammons, Marina Abramović, Derrick Adams)who have pushed at the limits of Duchamp’s definition. - Taylor Dafoe
