The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen — every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it — is a Duchamp.
He simply found that object, gave it his name. What then did he do? He found that object, gave it his name. Identification. What then shall we do? Shall we call it by his name or by its name? It’s not a question of names.
One way to write music: study Duchamp.
Say it’s not a Duchamp. Turn it over and it is.—John Cage, from ‘Statements Re Duchamp,’ see Marcel Duchamp in Perspective, ed. Joseph Masheck
