1st April – 14th May 2017
A group show with visual artists, sound artists, poets and storytellers
A collaboration between Hull School of Art and Design, Armitage Shanks, Studio Eleven at No. 12 and Kingston Art Group in Hull. Fountain ’17 celebrates the one hundred year anniversary of Marcel Duchamp’s iconic readymade “Fountain”, and two hundred years of Armitage Shanks.
Fountain ’17 explores this coincidence of anniversaries and celebrations in 2017. Artists, poets and designers have been commissioned to respond to Duchamp’s intervention one hundred years on.
