Joan Brossa, Catalan readymade artist, was born a hundred years ago the “day” in which Duchamp made two monumental claptraps: to paint moustaches to the Gioconda ensuring that “she has a hot ass” and “sell” to a collector in New York 50 cc of Paris air. We sell air from the Caula and undisciplined approach our teachers: Duchamp and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Man Ray, Mina Loy, Dalí, Maruja Mallo and for the last meeting Joan Brossa in the year of his centenary.
Under the influence of Dada, Brossa invented the square carriage wheel, the post-theatre and a seven-sided dice and another one rounded, even more difficult; like Duchamp himself, without making a single performance, he became master of it and here we harbor a secret: the art of action is not a kinetic or futuristic question, nor even less realistic, but real if…
