Duchamp's Large Glass Blog

The reading itself was very confusing, mainly the point of the machine never really got to me. The ideas none the less were rather interesting in the depth that they were capable of. The idea behind the bride and the bachelors and the separation between them , in the sense of what the machine represented brought a mysterious side to the whole thought process that Duchamp must have gone through when inventing this contraption. When reading about a work from a man like Duchamp, you really need to look at his work from an alternative perspective from your original. A different kind of thinking has to go into it. The idea of 'mind, body and spirit' all come together when discussing his work, because all these pieces intertwine. Overall, the reading although difficult brings out the absolute 'craziness' in a sense of what Duchamp's mind was like, so in turn, I really like the reading, mainly the ideas behind it though.
