The Prix Marcel Duchamp was created in 2000 by the ADIAF to showcase the French art scene and promote its international influence. Its aim is to recognize the artists who are most representative of their generation and to promote the diversity of the visual arts in France.
Since its creation, the works of over 100 artists, including 23 prizewinners, have been presented. The long-term partnership between the ADIAF (Association for the International Diffusion of French Art) and the Centre Pompidou reflects the desire to make the French art scene known to the widest possible audience and to reaffirm the necessary support for these artists.
Since 2016, the four nominated artists have been exhibiting together at the Centre Pompidou before the winner is announced, offering visitors an insight into current artistic creation. The artists nominated for 2024 – Abdelkader Benchamma, Gaëlle Choisne, Angelica Detanico and Rafael Lain, Noémie Goudal – show the diversity of artistic creation within the “French scene” through their backgrounds and references, their practices (drawing, hybrid installations, photography, video, sign systems) and their formal universe. Their respective entries for this year’s prize are driven by the same “cosmic” question and reflect the concerns raised by the universal upheavals we are all experiencing today. The works presented explore the depths of time and delve into science, astrology and mythology, becoming places of fictional, imaginary and reflexive contemplation of a world order that has become incomprehensible; interstitial spaces through which invisible or distant phenomena appear; spaces in which the many faces of present reality and possible futures are revealed or brought to life.
