Marcel Duchamp — Network of Stoppages
MoMA’s collection record describes nine curves made by reusing each of the three contours from 3 Standard Stoppages three times, over a previously worked canvas. I read its gallery text; I did not view the physical painting.

The reuse of an earlier contour led me to distinguish what a work retains from what it generates anew. My numerical study investigates that distinction without reproducing Duchamp’s forms.
