recycles the Duchampian bicycle wheel
Does the highlighted sentence imply that both the work in question and Francis Alys's The Modern Procession use a copy of Duchamp's bicycle wheel in their artworks? My problem is with the word recycle. Because the work in question uses a copy of Duchamp's bicycle wheel and put it apart and make a real bicycle out of it while Francis Alys's modern procession only represents a copy of Duchamp's bicycle wheel without making any changes in it.
As with Gonzalez-Foerster’s piece, then, a tongue-in-cheek, ‘postproductive’ relationship with recent art history is invoked – which, intriguingly, also recycles the Duchampian bicycle wheel, as Francis Alys did in The Modern Procession– witnessing the reversal of modernism’s framing of the objet trouv´e as art.
