In the past few years we have been celebrating aMemorial Birthday Party for Marcel Broodthaers

on 28. January, the day he was born and died (1924-1976).Since last year the event also takes place halftime, in the summer,

on 28. July (1 and 7 are similar enough. January and July too!)

As fate sometimes happens, 28 July turns out to be Marcel Duchamp’s full birthday, this year a round one:

130! (28.07.1887)Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard...

...Therefore, this year we are celebrating MBhalf and MDfull,

with artists’ contributions and presentations, in search after connections, contradictions, relations, negations, similarities, differences, triumphs

and failures, or so we hope.
