Since 2023, NCAR and AAC have been conducting a three-year joint project focusing on Marcel Duchamp’s (1887–1968) seminal work The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (commonly known as The Large Glass) (1915–23, Philadelphia Museum of Art). The project centers on The Large Glass-Tokyo Version (LGTV) (1980, Komaba Museum, University of Tokyo), as well as the preparatory studies produced in preparation for the LGTV (Tama Art University). The aim of this project was to archive these preparatory studies as a collection of AAC and explore their use as educational resources with relevant materials.
This symposium provided the first opportunity for curators and researchers from Japan and abroad, including Sweden and the United Kingdom, where replicas of The Large Glass have been produced—to gather and exchange their knowledge. Discussions ranged widely, covering the historical context of replica production, their creation and conservation, exhibition practices, and potential future applications.
