In this course
Monte Factor appears primarily as a historical facilitator rather than a theorist—he organized Marcel Duchamp's significant 1963 Las Vegas trip, an event the readings use to explore Duchamp's engagement with American consumer culture and spectacle at a pivotal moment in postwar history. The course seems to invoke Factor through this biographical detail to ground Duchamp's conceptual interests in the material circumstances of mid-century American life, particularly the aesthetics and infrastructure of Las Vegas as a site where art, commerce, and technology converge.
