• In 1916 in New York City, while working for the Society of Independent Artists, she met Marcel Duchamp. In January of 1920, Dreier, Duchamp, and Man Ray founded the Société Anonyme in Dreier's Manhattan apartment.

• Dreier planned to convert her house in West Redding, Connecticut into a museum to house the Société Anonyme's collection of artwork, in addition to her private collection. She contacted Yale University about managing the museum, and Yale suggested that the collection be merged with the Yale University Art Gallery. She sent the Societe Anonyme's collection to New Haven, Connecticut in October of 1941. In 1942, she was still attempting to have her house in Redding, Connecticut become a museum for her private collection. Without any financial backing, she decided to sell the house.

• In April of 1946, she moved to a new home in Milford, Connecticut and continued to add artwork to the collection at Yale. In 1947, she attempted to reopen membership to the Societe Anonyme and printed a brochure, but Yale blocked distribution of the brochure because its name appeared on it. In 1948, Dreier and Duchamp created a catalog of the collection.

• In 1942, Andre Breton organised a retrospective exhibition of Surrealist art in New York: First Papers of Surrealism.

• For the vernissage Marcel Duchamp created this installation – a gigantic web – called the Mile of String.

• He and Breton furthermore arranged for a number of children to ball in the room thereby making it very difficult for the guests to see the paintings.

• El término instalaciones fue utilizado por primera vez por el minimalista Dan Flavin, hacia 1968, para designar sus obras espaciales con tubos fluorescentes.

• Hay quienes consideran a las instalaciones como obra de arte "total" rastreando entre sus componentes a la arquitectura y al teatro.

• Dirá Glusberg: "La instalación es una obra única, que se genera a partir de un concepto y/o de una narrativa visual creada por el artista en un espacio concreto en el que se establece una interacción completa entre los elementos introducidos y el espacio considerado como obra total". (1)

• Debemos tener en claro, además, la diferenciación entre ambientación e instalación. – La ambientación supone un entorno que exige ser recorrido por

el espectador, quien atraviesa así por una serie de situaciones inesperadas, generalmente festivas.
