Alun,
Duchamp's lecture,"The Creative Act" was given at Rice University in Houston Texas in 1957.
Here's the opening line:
"Let us consider two important factors, the two poles of the creation of art: the artist on the one hand, and on the other the spectator who later becomes the posterity."
Body of (complete?) text can be found at ....

Hope this helps,
