| - | As an adjective the term '''ready-made''' means [[made|made]] or [[prepared]] in [[advance]] of need. As a noun the term '''readymade''' denotes an [[everyday]] [[object]] [[designated]] as [[art]]. This article focuses on the second meaning. | + | # To [[bring forward]]; to move towards the [[van]] or front; to make to go on. |
| - | + | #: ''They . . . '''advanced''' their eyelids.'' —Shakespeare | |
| - | The term '''found art'''—more commonly ''found object'' ([[French language|French]]: ''[[objet trouvé]]'') or '''readymade'''—describes [[art]] created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a [[mundane]], [[utilitarian]] function. [[Marcel Duchamp]] was the originator of this in the early 20th-century. | + | # To [[raise]] to a higher rank; to [[promote]]. |
| - | + | # To [[accelerate]] the growth or progress; to further; to forward; to help on; to aid; to heighten. | |
| - | Found art derives significance from the designation placed upon it by the artist. The context into which it is placed (e.g. a gallery or museum) is usually also a highly relevant factor. The idea of dignifying commonplace objects in this way was originally a shocking challenge to the accepted distinction between what was considered ''art'' as opposed to ''not art''. Although it is now widely accepted in the art world as a viable practice, it continues to arouse media and public hostility, as with the [[Tate Gallery]]'s [[Turner Prize]] exhibition of [[Tracey Emin]]'s ''[[My Bed]]'', which consisted literally of her unmade and dishevelled bed. | + | #: ''to '''advance''' the ripening of fruit'' |
| - | + | #: ''to '''advance''' one's interests'' | |
| - | Found art, however, has to have the artist's input, at the very least an idea about it, i.e. the artist's designation of the object as art, which is nearly always reinforced with a title. There is mostly also some degree of modification of the object, although not to the extent that it cannot be recognised. The modification may lead to it being designated a "modified", "interpreted" or "adapted" found object. | + | # To bring to view or notice; to offer or propose; to show. |
| - | ==Origin: Duchamp== | + | #: ''to '''advance''' an argument'' |
| - | [[Marcel Duchamp]] coined the term ''readymade'' in 1915 to describe his found art. Duchamp assembled the first readymade, entitled ''[[Bicycle Wheel]]'' in 1913, the same time as his ''[[Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2|Nude Descending a Staircase]]'' was attracting the attention of critics at the [[Armory Show|International Exhibition of Modern Art]]. His ''[[Fountain (Duchamp)|Fountain]]'', a urinal which he signed with the pseudonym "R. Mutt", shocked the art world in 1917. ''Bottle Rack'' is a [[bottle]] drying [[rack]] signed by Duchamp, and is considered to be the first "pure" readymade. | + | # To make earlier, as an event or date; to [[hasten]]. |
| - | + | # To [[furnish]], as money or other value, before it becomes due, or in aid of an enterprise; to [[supply]] beforehand. | |
| - | Research by [[Rhonda Roland Shearer]] indicates that Duchamp may have fabricated his found objects. Exhaustive research of mundane items like snow shovels and bottle racks in use at the time failed to reveal identical matches. The urinal, upon close inspection, is non-functional. However, there are accounts of [[Walter Arensberg]] and [[Joseph Stella]] being with Duchamp when he purchased the original ''Fountain'' at J. L. Mott Iron Works. | + | #: ''Merchants often '''advance''' money on a contract or on goods consigned to them.'' |
| + | # To [[raise]] to a higher point; to [[enhance]]; to raise in rate. | ||
| + | #: ''to '''advance''' the price of goods'' | ||
