Readymades

Okay, In 1917 Marcel Duchamp created this instillation called 'Fountain'
the basic premiss was to shock and provoke the audiance by taking an obscure object; in this case a urinal, and exhibiting it signed R.Mutt. 





























At the time this was ground breaking, and fresh.

Skip forward to 2006, and Michael Ratulowski thinks this is a ground breaking stroke of genius. 























Do you see what he's done their. He's taken the basic concept of the readymade and progressed it ever so slightly by adding a fro-back pop culture reference.

I love originality.
