Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain” is enlarged and abstracted, incorporating forms of religious architecture and the human body. A portal allows viewers access to a quiet interior space where white walls frame the open sky. Duchamp’s readymade urinal, once exhibited inside a gallery, becomes a gallery itself in which the viewer becomes the subject.
