Marcel Duchamp is one of the 20th century’s best-known artists, yet his work is often misunderstood, writes Nicole Rudick. Now, a major US retrospective seeks to show the philosophy behind his provocative readymades.

Arts Junction is back this Monday, 13 April, with a smorgasbord of poetry, music, art & theatre at the Victoria Institute, Arundel from 7.30. This month there are two poets, Rebecca Zeman & Christopher Horton. Mike Carey will provide musical interludes and I will talk on the subject of AI in Art.
