Trouvez l'objet

Trouvez l'Objet - Find the Object - is a commentary on 40,000 years of Human Art. The first object to find is a 40000 year old ice age carving - the oldest known work of art attributable to a human. The second object, the urinal built into the structure in the foreground, is Marcel Duchamp's iconic "Objet Trouve" - Found Object - which kicked off the idea of conceptual art which continues to evolve to this day. Everything in between you have to imagine - and all this set in my local overground commuter train station! An alternative title to this image might be The History of Art, or perhaps The Other Side of the Tracks. As Rene Magritte aptly commented "No object is stuck with its name so irrevocably that one cannot find another which suits it better." Homage to Duchamp and Magritte.
