From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Marcel Broodthaers (1924 - 1976), was a Belgian poet, filmmaker and artist with a highly literate and often witty approach to creating art works. He was associated with the Groupe Surréaliste-revolutionaire in Brussels from 1945 and dabbled in journalism, film, and poetry until focusing on the production of art after 1962. He worked principally with assemblies of found objects and collage, often containing written texts. His most noted work was an installation in his Brussels apartment which he called Musée d'Art Moderne, Départment des Aigles (1968), and was later reconstructed at the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle for an exhibition in 1972. For such works he is associated with the late 20th century global spread of both installation art, as well as "institutional critique," in which interrelationships between artworks, the artist, and the museum are a focus.
