Duchamp Is My Lawyer: The Polemics, Pragmatics, and Poetics of UbuWeb, 2020, Log

UbuWeb is the most significant and largest online archive of avant-garde art; it was initiated and is led by conceptual artist Kenneth Goldsmith. UbuWeb has grown into a relevant and recognized critical institution of contemporary art. Artists want to see their work in its catalog and thus agree to a relationship with UbuWeb that has no formal contractual obligations. [1]

As of 2024, UbuWeb is no longer updated, but remains available on its website and mirrors.
