Marcel Duchamp, Bicycle wheel 1913 reconstructed 1964 painted wooden stool and bicycle wheel National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Purchased 1973

Jill Orr ‘Space, Place and Recurring History’ Monash University Faculty Gallery Space, Place and Recurring History is an analysis, through art practice, of relationships to place that overlap, intermingle, collaborate and question.
