MARCEL DUCHAMP AND THE FORESTAY WATERFALL
Events and information
The Association Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp (Association KMD) was founded in 2009 in the aim of organizing a symposium and an international event devoted to Marcel Duchamp and the Forestay waterfall, in may 2010.
In summer 1946, Marcel Duchamp spent five weeks in Switzerland, including five days at the hotel Bellevue (today, Le Baron Tavernier) near Chexbres, on lake Geneva. There he discovered the waterfall Le Forestay. No research was ever done as to why the artist chose this waterfall and not another to become the starting point for and ultimately the landscape of his famous final masterpiece, Étant donnés: 1° la chute d’eau, 2° le gaz d’éclairage…. A multidisciplinary event in Cully, on lake Geneva, near the waterfall Le Forestay, attempted to provide answers to this and many other questions about Duchamp’s work.
