Marcel Duchamp: The Art of the Possible

Directed by Matthew Taylor

  • “Duchamp broke down hierarchies and empowered the individual... He equalized everything.”
    Jeff Koons
  • “Duchamp's legacy never dies. There are so many things still for us to discover. ”
    Marina Abramovic

Marcel Duchamp: Art of the Possible explores the life, philosophy and impact of one of the most influential early 20th century modernists, Marcel Duchamp. The film breaks down Duchamp’s ideas and applies them to both historical events and the modernist explosion that blanketed the early 20th century. Art of the Possible isn’t simply a biopic; rather, the film shows how Duchamp’s ideas changed the public consciousness, and our understanding of aesthetics, art, and culture. The film highlights the singular impact of Duchamp’s philosophy on art, and, more importantly, examines how Duchamp’s revolutionary ideas from the early 20th century have shaped the 21st century and modern day.  

Ultimately, Marcel Duchamp: Art of The Possible is a guide to exploring the possibilities in every art endeavor and showcasing how Duchamp’s ideas gave generations of artists the intellectual backing to pursue new ideas.

Featuring Jeff Koons, Marina Abramovic, Larry Bell, Ed Rucha, Michel Gondry, Paul Matisse, Edward Ruscha, Stefan Sagmeister, Bibbe Hansen, Arturo Schwarz, Carolee Schneemann and more.
