“One has to search far back in the history of art to find a personality more varied or inventive [than Marcel Duchamp].” 
- Arsenberg Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1954

“Lovingly, Rrose Selavy” is a proposal for an exhibition at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum, which  occured in the Spring of 2018 under the title: “Rose Ocean: Living with Duchamp.” This design expresses the dichotomy critical to Duchamp’s work through contrasting masculine and feminine energies, exploring materiality and various means of perspectival viewing, and experiencing the exhibition through the blurred line between the rigidity of cages, meshes, and grids and the fundamentally sensual characteristics of lingerie. The concept of obstructing the art from the viewer present in my screen designs was carried into the final proposal submitted by the studio after collaboration.
