This 4 minute video is taken from the BBC archives. Marcel Duchamp himself defines here his "Readymade", in which the choice of the Artist is enough to turn an ordinary object (like a rack or a wheel) into a work of art. There is a comprehension quiz but no transcript or notes. Students may discuss their views on the distinction between higher and lower forms of art.
