Reception: Saturday, January 9, 5-8pm

First presented at the Slaughterhouse Space in Healdsburg, CA, curator Hanna Regev has traveled the show to the ArtZone 461 Gallery in San Francisco. The exhibition runs from January 9 through February 7, and includes over thirty artists who created new works representing their response to the influence and importance of Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968).

ArtZone will host two programs associated with the exhibition: Architects Zoë Prillinger and Luke Ogrydziak will discuss on Tuesday, January 19 at 6:30 pm, the implications of algorithmic design and probability as an Art form. The discussion will be moderated by architect Theo Armour who worked as a program manager for many releases of the leading design software AutoCad.

The second panel discussion: Unraveling the Duchamp Enigma will feature artists Richard Berger, Naomie Kremer and Jan Wurm on Sunday, January 31 at 3:00 pm.  The artists will discuss how Marcel Duchamp’s interests, preoccupations, styles and media has influenced their art practices.
