LOUISVILLE, KY.- The Speed Art Museum is excited to present to Louisville an exhibition of Marcel Duchamp: Marcel, Marcel, on view through February 17, 2008.

Assembled between 1935-41, Boîte-en-valise is a "traveling museum" of 69 works by Duchamp that includes Fountain, Large Glass, Broyeuse de chocolat, Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy, Tu m', Paris Air, Pliant de voyage, 3 Stoppages Etalon, Bride, Comb, and others. Duchamp said he wanted "to reproduce the paintings and the objects [he] liked and collect them in a space as small as possible." However, the traveling museum of miniature reproductions is not as simple as the artist would have us at first believe. Juxtaposing two versions of Boîte-en-valise, this exhibition investigates the complexity of Duchamp's thinking and reflects upon the notions of authenticity and uniqueness in the work of art. Admission is free.

The Speed Art Museum is located at 2035 South Third Street in Louisville. Other features of the museum include a hands-on Art Learning Center for families, a café and gift shop. Gallery hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and Sunday 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays.
