Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid to Perform at Final-Friday Event Denver Art Museum's "hipster"Â final-Friday event in March will highlight the world of irreverent artist Marcel Duchamp, and will feature guest musician "DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid"Â on March 30 from 6-10 pm.
Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. "DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid,"Â is an electronic and experimental hip-hop artist who has remixed sound recordings of Marcel Duchamp in some of his work. He's coming to Denver from the East Coast specifically to perform at Untitled #2 (Readymade).
Like the Untitled final-Friday event of every month, Untitled #2 (Readymade) will offer new music, unusual tours, a cash bar, and other art-related activities, all with a dose of the unexpected. This month's event highlights Duchamp, arguably the most influential artist of the 20th century, who made a life of examining the nature of art and challenging the limits of what it can be.
Duchamp's pioneering gestures-among the most radical was the designation of manufactured everyday objects as "readymade"Â works of art-carried his signature flair for irreverence and irony and sent shockwaves through the art world that still reverberate today. Visitors at Untitled #2 (Readymade) will have a chance to experience the impact of his ideas on the art world, and can take tours such as "You Say Urinal, I Say Fountain."Â They'll even be able to participate in the creation of a "readymade"Â collaborative sculpture in the Museum. Visitors who wish to "give up art"Â for chess, as Duchamp did, can participate in the chess tournament with a chess master in the Duncan Pavilion. Catering will be provided by Bistro Boys and Gourmet Fine Catering.
The Untitled final-Friday series of events are all included in regular Museum admission. In April the Museum will host Untitled #3 (Babel/Babble), where visitors will be tempted to speak their minds and explore the power of words in art. May's final Friday gets naked! Untitled #4 (Birthday Suit) will pay homage to the human body and explore how artists since the beginning of time have drawn inspiration from the human form. -- www.denverartmuseum.org
