For the 130th anniversary of Marcel Duchamp's birth (Blainville-Crevon, July 28, 1887 - Neuilly-sur-Seine, October 2, 1968), the Spazio Ophen Virtual Art Gallery at the 57th Venice Biennial in 2017 intends to focus on As an independent and contemporary event at the "Pavilion Lautania Virtual Valley" at Marcel Duchamp and Kurt Schwitters, who fully summarize the concept of inquiry as the privileged place for discovering dreams and utopias that in the metaphysical and mental dimensions suggest worlds and collective imaginations. In the three-dimensional "Etant Donnés" assembly, Duchamp works in secret for the last twenty years of his life. In 1968, when leaving New York to spend the summer in Europe, work is now over and Marcel before he dies is concerned about organizing his final presentation by preparing a construction instruction manual, including photographs , Note and a scale model. The still little-known work arises in the need to go beyond, to define and fully shape the possible extension of the other, in the further need to metabolize reality. A whole-game invention on screening of fragments and "possible universes", between the freedom of creation and the intelligent globality of doing art. In this second international group there are 72 works of the same number of important artists who wanted to share this proposal as border artists at the margin of a possible boundary and watershed to the approved art system of official art.

BIOGRAPHY
MARCEL DUCHAMP (1887-1968) Biography Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp was born on 28 July 1887 near Blainville, France. In 1904 he attended painting courses at the Academy of Julian until 1905. His first works are post-impressionist style. It is exhibited for the first time in 1909 at the Salon des Indépendants and at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. His paintings of 1911, in close relation with Cubism, however, tend to represent later images of a moving body. In 1912 he painted the definitive version of Nudo that descends the stairs: the work is exhibited at the Salon de la Section d'Or of the same year and later, in 1913, at the New York Arthur Show, where it will stir up great scalpore. Duchamp's iconoclastic and radical ideas push for the birth of the Dada movement, which will take place in Zurich in 1916. Since 1913, abandoned painting and traditional design, he devoted himself to experimental artwork by drawing mechanical drawings, studies and annotations that will be included In his great work of the years 1915-23, The bride bare by his bachelors, too. In 1914 he made the first "readymade" (objects commonly used, sometimes modified, presented as works of art) designed to have revolutionary effects for many painters and sculptors. In 1915 Duchamp stayed for the first time in New York. Since the mid-30s he has worked with surrealists and has participated in their exhibitions. He settled definitively in New York in 1942 and became a US citizen in 1955. In the 1940s he was in contact with the surrealists who had emigrated to New York and exhibited them several times. In 1946 he began to produce Etant donnés, a great assemblage to which he would secretly work for the next two decades. He died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris on October 2, 1968.
