The Adiaf unveiled the names of the four artists of the 23rd edition of Prix Marcel Duchamp: Bertille Bak, Bouchra Khalili, Tarik Kiswanson, and Massinissa Selmani.

Created in 2000 by Gilles Fuchs, founder and president of Adiaf, the Marcel Duchamp Prize aims to highlight the creative abundance of the French scene at the beginning of the 21st century and to support artists in their international career. Each year, this collectors’ prize distinguishes one laureate among four French artists or artists living in France, working in the field of plastic and visual arts: installation, video, painting, photography, sculpture, performance and so on. Like the important artist who lends his name to it, and with the complicity of the Marcel Duchamp Association, which supports this initiative, it distinguishes the most significant artists of the French scene of their generation and encourages all new artistic forms that stimulate creation.

“After a long and rigorous process that began 10 months ago, four artists have been chosen by our Selection Committee composed of eleven Adiaf collectors. The finalists will be invited by our great partner, Centre Pompidou, for a three-month exhibition, the opening of which will take place on October 2, 2023. I look forward to seeing you on October 16, 2023 for the announcement of the winner, who will be chosen by an international jury”, said Claude Bonnin, president of the Adiaf.

The work of the four artists will be presented in a collective exhibition at the Centre Pompidou starting October 16, 2023. Prix Marcel Duchamp is endowed with 90,000 euros, including a prize of 35,000 euros for the winner, who will also benefit from a residence in the United States at the Villa Albertine.
