“I picked [Duchamp&Sons] particularly because it’s not really, in a sense,educational, it’s more of a kind of place where you know you can debateabout art, you can talk about art but it doesn’t have to be kind ofrestricted in terms of the tone…” (Brandon, 18)
“I saw the blog and things were actually being done, it wasn’t just (…)people sitting and talking about what they wanted to do instead of doingit. (…) Also I was applying for jobs and I knew I [wanted] to be doingsomething creative.” (Jenny, 23)
“It is quite interesting. I feel like I am really part of the furniture…I quitelike it because [I feel] part of something,…you know that if you go thereyou will be recognized and they will remember you…” (Inês, 21)
“My skills developed a lot in Duchamp&Sons, working with artists and kindof understanding their practice and how you apply your practice to ayouth group as an artist.” (Gabby, 22)
“Yes, definitely. I think obviously it brings more audience. Like I have neverbeen to the gallery before (…)” (Inês, 21)
“Yes, because art galleries could feel quite elitist (…) it is just sort ofmaking [young] people feel like they are part of the gallery, it is a publicgallery, so anyone from the public can come here.” (Jenny, 23)
