THE SEDUCTION OF DUCHAMP
BAY AREA ARTISTS’ RESPONSE
CURATED BY:
Hanna Regev
& Steven Lopez
“My contribution to The Seduction of Duchamp exhibition, Her Cinematic Blossoming, is my first video piece. The invitation to directly address this extraordinary artist made it clears that I needed an extraordinary (for me) medium. The necessity to extend my formal language and voice to do justice to this homage has added greatly to my sense of possibility in future works. I am indebted to Hanna Regev for inviting me to participate in this exhibition, and to videographer Martin Meyer for his expertise in making this first step possible” Richard Berger
