Project Title: Peripheral Relations: Marcel Duchamp and New Zealand Art 1960-2011

Dr. Marcus Moore was invited guest curator for the Adam Art Gallery, Wellington, New Zealand. In addition to 黑料网 Research Funding, this major exhibition received support from Victoria University of Wellington, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Christchurch Art Gallery and Auckland Art Gallery. The exhibition was based on Moore's research and showcased seldom-seen works by Duchamp held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, to document the little-known gift of his works as part of the Isaacs Bequest (1982), and it referenced the ground-breaking exhibition of the Sisler Collection of Duchamp's works that toured New Zealand in 1967 (a Collection Moore has researched in full, including its origins and its circulation from New York to London to Auckland). These actual instances of Duchamp 'in' New Zealand were set alongside three generations of New Zealand artists who register a debt to his example. The show brought together works by 29 artists. Marcus Moore's approach, which was evident in the selection and layout of the exhibition, was to explore how Marcel Duchamp's legacy can be read uniquely from a New Zealand perspective. http://www.adamartgallery.org.nz/past-exhibitions/peripheral-relations-marcel-duchamp-and-new-zealand-art-1960-2011
