Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, by ejvaze on Feb 21, 2008 19:13:40 GMT 1, OK so it may not be street art but it was as revolutionary and even more controversial than street art was in it's day in the art world.
Tate Modern 21st February to 26th May
Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia
Three friends who together helped create Dada movements in NY and Paris. They shared an irreverent and anarchistic attitude towards life and art and their pioneering ideas about art continue to reverberate to this day.
I went to a PV last night and thought this a Very Good Exhibition.
Three great artists.
In the first room as you enter there are 2 small mirrors framed along with some portraits One mirror signed by Duchamp, he is reported as saying as he sighed it
'I am signing ready made portraits', it made me laugh out loud.
And for those worried about Neate painting on card well don't be Picabia was doing it back in 1921 and the painting Astralabe still looks good today.
Painting on found objects and using recycled materials they were doing it way back then in the early 1900s ...nothings new.
Love Man Ray's motto at the end of his life
'The least possible effort for the greatest possible result'
Remind you of anyone? 
A really good exhibition worth seeing

Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, by Coach on Feb 21, 2008 19:25:42 GMT 1, thanks for the info vazie.
i went to a man ray exhibition about 15 years ago at the serpantine. his photos are certainly worth seeing in the flesh at full size, rather than just in a book. spectacular

Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, by ejvaze on Feb 21, 2008 20:24:08 GMT 1, This exhibition has photos film drawings sculpture and paintings by all three artists side by side and is really good.
You can see the influence they have had on the art that followed even on street art.
Loved the graphics work they did and was amused at Duchamps obsession with changing his identity even cross dressing. Man Ray dressed as an Egyptian.
Some of the photographic pieces were so tiny the size of the little Slinkachu picture which Bigman gave me at the BRP and so well framed, gave me an idea on how to frame my little picture..
One piece reminded me of Faile a collage of many different layers that looked weathered and like a street piece.
The exhibition shows how the three friends ideas, interests and jokes effected each others work throughout their lives and encouraged each to progress.
I have seen Man Rays work before but never the three artists works together.
In fact I had never seen Picabia's work in the flesh before and was really drawn to it.

Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia at Tate Modern, by romanywg on Feb 22, 2008 0:54:10 GMT 1, Love Man Rays work. Probably my favorite artist. Visited his grave last year when I was in Paris. Amazing graveyard, full of artists.
