Intervención Duchamp / BA

A neon light sign that reads “It’s impossible to hear hear”, an assertion by Marcel Duchamp, is a permanent intervention by visual artists Gabriela Golder and Mariela Yeregui displa- yed in the house where the master of conceptual art and other forms of contemporary art stayed in Buenos Aires.

A myth holds that he discovered his passion for chess in Buenos Aires, and authors such as Raúl Antelo and Graciela Speranza tracked his footsteps through the city, his cultural quests, and even his assertion that he had come to Buenos Aires only to play chess. Howe- ver, most of his visit continues to be shrouded in mystery.
