Fountain by Duchamp is an installation in the sense that is was an ordinary object put into a space that it would not ordinarily be seen. it changes the idea of art from what is pleasing to what the artist says is art and to what is out of the ordinary. We have all seen a urinal, at least men have but what is so interesting about the work is that Duchamp saw a urinal and thought of a fountain changing the entire beaning and purpose of what a urinal is and went a step further by taking it out of the public rest room and moving it into a gallery which is a different sort of public space.
