Beyond the Readymade

R180

Beyond the readymade is an exhibition of artworks in the Wits Art Museum collection that include “found objects”. When artists select everyday objects to be used in artworks the objects move from everyday social practices and are embedded in the discourses of art. Through this process, the objects are distinguished from others like them that remain part of the everyday. A found object may be whole, or a fragment that can be used as material, and is altered when embedded in an artwork.
