“Honour to the finalists of the 23rd Prix Marcel Duchamp, all credit to Tarik Kiswanson, the winning artist, whom I congratulate on behalf of the 300 collectors of the ADIAF. It is important to remember that the Prix Marcel Duchamp is not a competition, but a designation of artists who exemplify the French art scene and showcase it on the international stage. More than a prize of €90,000, of which €35,000 is awarded to the winner, it is a comprehensive support scheme with a programme of international exhibitions organised by the ADIAF, supported by the Institut Français, and residencies for the finalists: in France at the Sèvres Manufacture, and in the USA at Villa Albertine, which will host our winner in 2024 for an exploration residency.”
Claude Bonnin, President of the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art
The exhibition of the four finalists is on view at the Centre Pompidou in the Galerie du Musée and the Galerie d'art graphique on level 4, until January 8th, 2024.
