Rauschenberg`s piece: Express - oil and silkscreen on canvas
He created this artwork in respons of Duchamp`s rejected piece: Nude descending a staircase.
The pice presents horses, dancers of Cunningham and other pictures where the movement takes the main importance, the movement can be associated with Duchamp`s Node.
The exhibition is unique, creating a multidisciplinary scenario where there are present painting, print, sculpture, installation, music, dance by real live performers. Rauschenberg created Minutiae, an installation for the group of dancers, performers of Cunningham. He explained, that in between the installations the performers were represented as material. The exhibition highlights Duchamp`s main goal, to blur the boundaries between art and life. However this exhibition blurs the boundaries between the different art fields, between artist and object, artist and his artwork as well.
An installation is much more powerful then the traditional ways of creating art like painting, sculpture. While the traditional methods` outcome can hold an extraordinary aesthetic value, is also frozen in time.The installation happens in the present moment, even if is a minimalist installation.
