Acclaimed director of American Independent Cinema, Todd Solondz, portrays the American society via a “wiener-dog” in his latest film. Being carried away from one home to another, this dachshund is adopted by owners of various ages and professions, yet they all have one thing in common: being weird. Being pretty politically-incorrect and having a lot to say about the American experience, Wiener-Dog has a star cast of independent cinema.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
