driving the doubts away
Driving the Doubts Away is an info comedy about how Olof gets into art school and gets confused.
We also meet the artist Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), who failed to get into art school, spent his early career doing comic drawings for cheap magazines, and who at the age of sixty-three still only owned one suit.
In 2004, Duchamp’s Fountain (1917) — a urinal on a pedestal — was voted the most influential art work of the 20th century.
To an artist, Fountain represents the ultimate freedom to create — art can be almost anything.
While to an art investor, when a urinal becomes a million dollar art work — it’s the mystery of money for almost nothing.
But maybe Duchamp simply intended Fountain as a joke?
Driving the Doubts Away features 170 illustrations and five original songs.
Duration: 55 + 45 minutes, with a 20-minute break.
Fountain, by Marcel Duchamp.
