For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Pablo Echaurren Description An account of the resource Pablo Echaurren was born in Rome in 1951. He started to paint at the age of 18, inspired by Gianfranco Baruchello, and was soon discovered by the critic and gallerist Arturo Schwarz, who promoted his work in Italy and abroad. His work was initially characterized by a certain minimalism, with a conceptual approach and a rejection of pictorial conventions, offering an alternative to the idea of the work of art as fetish. Since then, he has always been looking for new languages and new forms of expression, never resting on his laurels.  Not just a painter, he has engaged in a wide range of activities, such as illustrations, writing, as well as the creation of “metacomics” that investigate the possible relationship between avant-garde and popular art, seeking that necessary and fertile short-circuit between “high” and “low,” culture and frivolity. His work has been presented in numerous museums. Among the most recent exhibitions: Contropittura(La Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma 2015-2016) and Du champ magnétique(Scala Contarini del Bovolo, Venezia 2017), Pablo Echaurren(Mart, Rovereto 2019).

Title A name given to the resource Looking for a Rembrandt Description An account of the resource This work by Echaurren also reflects some Duchampian elements and echoes. The unrealized project depicts a bronze sculpture of a monkey holding an iron with its right hand: if the animal is adherent to all the artist's work declined to the universe of primitives (such as the last film Pablo di Neanderthal, released in 2022 and directed by Antonello Matarazzo), the iron recalls in a veiled way Marcel Duchamp's famous phrase "Using a Rembrandt as an ironing board". As with the other works donated to MoRE, this project has no specific commission. The reasons for its not being realized are logistical and appear as theoretical exercises on which the artist continues to question himself. <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/5205/1/Pablo%20Echaurren_Looking%20for%20a%20Rembrandt.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Mon Alice Description An account of the resource Mon Alice is a small plastic sculpture measuring a few centimeters (8 x 4 x 3 cm); it is a maquette for a larger sculpture designed by Echaurren in 2018. The sculpture represents Alice in Wonderland in the Disney version, the one now ingrained in the collective imagination of adults and children alike. To this small sculpture, the artist has painted in ink on the face two mustaches and a slight stubble. Right from the start the work recalls the famous L.H.O.O.Q. the rectified ready-made made in 1919 by Duchamp that depicts Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa with a fine mustache and a goatee drawn on her face by the French artist. A game of ambiguity is hidden in both works. Indeed, both Mona Lisa and Alice change identities by adopting elements typical of the male sphere, Echaurren as Duchamp adopts a well-known figure, an icon of contemporaneity to make changes dictated by a simple and essential gesture. If Duchamp works on language through the play on words in the title (L.H.O.O.Q. pronounced in French sounds like Elle a chaud au cul - She is hot in the ass), Echaurren always works through a written part but only mentioning Leonardo's work in the title of the work, Mon Alice instead of Mona Lisa. The medium clearly changes from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, but Echaurren's intentions would seem to be the same as those that moved the French artist. <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/5206/1/Pablo%20Echaurren_Mon%20Alice.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Monumento Fortuito Description An account of the resource Pablo Echaurren's project, like many others, is elaborated through notes written in blue pen on a page of a squared notebook. The artist's intent is already clear from the title "Monumento Fortuito". In fact, in 2015 the artist plans to create a monument dedicated to Marcel Duchamp, an artistic operation that is rooted in the intentions and artistic methods typical of the French artist. For this work Echaurren thinks of the concept of “chance”, wanting to create the monument through the action of "picking up a leftover, a human waste from the street and electing it as an urban monument. The words "rectify it" and "place it on a pedestal" also emerges from the short text, all definitions come to Duchamp's work. With this operation, Echaurren works in the conceptual framework of the French artist, dedicating a work to him with his own design methods. <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/5207/1/Pablo%20Echaurren_Monumento%20Fortuito.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.

Title A name given to the resource En attendant la mariée Description An account of the resource The project consists of a combined installation of two spinning wheels that move a system of threads, the threads descend from a chrysalis attached to the ceiling. The quote is clear and obvious. In fact, Echaurren mentions the famous ready-made of 1912 but also the International Surrealist Exhibition held in 1942 at the Whitelaw Reid mansion in New York, organized by André Breton with the collaboration of Marcel Duchamp. This exhibition, in addition to being considered a "landmark exhibition" (Tate Papers, 2009; Stedelijk Studies Issue, 2015), presents an installation curated by Marcel Duchamp and created through a complex system of ropes woven throughout the exhibition space. This system allowed the visitor a partial and complicated view of the pictorial works set up on the wall. The French artist's operation was entitled “Sixteen Miles of String”. Echaurren's work combines the two Duchampian operations through the creation of an installation that, like the original design, wanted to occupy the entire exhibition space. In addition to the combination of these two famous works by Duchamp, Echaurren also mentions “The Large Glass”, not directly but by elaborating an installation in which the string came out of the chrysalis that define the sex of the insects. In fact, the threads would have started from the chrysalis to be subsequently taken from the two spinning wheels placed in the center of the room. Echaurren writes a handwritten note: “The insect bride Þ the male molds Þ females with wings”. This reference to the chrysalis also brings out the artist's attention to entomology. In fact, Echaurren has stated several times that as a young man he wanted to be an entomologist. <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/5204/1/Pablo%20Echaurren_En%20attendant%20la%20mariée.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Rouge Selavy Description An account of the resource Rouge Selavy is the title of a work that Echaurren designed in 1977, a fundamental year because on that very date the artist decided to (temporarily) abandon art to devote himself to politics. The artist writes with a blue pen over a lined notebook one of the first projects where the figure of Marcel Duchamp emerges. In fact, the unrealized work consisted of a performative action: to be exact, a parade. In the Eucharren notebook he writes: "making Duchamp banners", then creating "silent" banners (conceptual, we could say), which had to show only verbal elements such as the question mark and question mark made with a red marker.  This because? Echaurren explains the reasons in the points below. The artist speaks of the concept of imagination and develops it under various aspects, affirming that the imagination does not stop at a banner, that the imagination must be brought onto the banner itself and finally the same banner is defined as "doubtful" and "without certainties". The title of the work is a distortion, one of the first distortions made by Echaurren on the titles of Duchamp's works (see Mon Alice, a project on display inside MoRE). Indeed, the famous portrait as a woman by the French artist Rrose Selavy is transformed into Rouge Selavy. There is a desire to highlight red as the color of life, in fact the marker strokes on the page that draw the exclamation and question marks on the banners are red. Furthermore, this continuous use of the word imagination can only bring to the mind the famous slogan of the seventies "the imagination to power". <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/5208/1/Pablo%20Echaurren_Rouge%20Selavy.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.

Natura morta - 2 Description An account of the resource The unrealised project Artisti coraggiosi proposed by Pablo Echaurren in 1974 to Galleria La Margherita in Rome, involved the participation of the artist who, seating at a table inside the bare spaces of the gallery, equipped with papers, scissors and glue, would have asked the audience to join him in a performance: the visitors were asked to buy one of his work, deciding the price in advance, without knowing what they were going to buy. The hypothetical buyer was supposed to pay the artist in cash, with one or more notes, depending on his choice. The banknotes would become the artwork: cut, torn or intact, they would have been glued to sheets of paper and signed, as if they were traditional still lifes. <a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/3842/1/echaurren_perna.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.
