3 ‘erotic objects’ by Marcel Duchamp:
Dart Object/Objet-dard, 1951, cast 1962 - bronze (Tate)
“The French title, Objet-Dard, is a pun on ‘objet d’art’, or work of art. The word ‘dard’, or ‘dart’, suggests masculine aggression, but the limp phallic form could as easily refer to impotence as to sexual satisfaction. Dart Object was based on a part of the mould of Etant donnés that had been situated directly under the breast of the ‘bride’, holding the ‘skin’ in place. After he had finished with the mould, Duchamp broke it, and the shape of one of the broken pieces gave Duchamp the idea of using it as a work of art. Inverting the scriptural source in which Eve is created from Adam’s rib, Duchamp creates an emphatically male symbol from a rib-like structure in a model of a female figure. The raised strip along the upper surface, painted silver, echoes the strip of lead inlaid in the original plaster.” — Tate online text

About

Avatar The Whole World's a Stage

When we put satellites around the planet Darwinian nature ended. The earth became an artform subject to the same programming as media networks and their environments. The entire evolutionary process shifted...from biology to technology. Evolution became not an involuntary response of organisms to new conditions but part of the consensus of human consciousness. - McLuhan
