IVÁN ARGOTE invited for a two-year residency by Sèvres-Manufacture and national museum

Signed in 2019, the partnership between the ADIAF and Sèvres-Manufacture et Musée nationaux enables an artist from the Marcel Duchamp Prize to be invited for a two-year residency at the Manufacture de Sèvres and thus experience the art of ceramics.

After Thu-Van Tran (nominated in 2018) and Katinka Bock (nominated in 2019), Iván Argote has been chosen for a 3rd residency following the call for projects launched last June among the artists of the 2021 and 2022 editions.

Nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp in 2022, the artist proposed the project “WE ARE MELTING – NOUS FONDONS”, which was selected by a jury comprising members of Sèvres – Manufacture et Musée nationaux and ADIAF collectors.

His residency will run from December 2023 to September 2025.

An exhibition of the artist’s work produced during the residency will be organized in 2025.

Against a backdrop of a resurgence in cultural and artistic activity, private collectors constitute a major asset in supporting creation. As outstanding ambassadors for artists, playing a vital role in the long-term promotion of our art scene in France and abroad, collectors have always been the natural and indispensable partners of art galleries. This is why the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art (CPGA or French art dealers committee), an organisation representing the gallery profession in France, and the Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l’Art Français (ADIAF or association for the international dissemination of French art), which brings together 300 collectors of contemporary art, are keen to reaffirm their complementarity and interdependence.

Curator: Alfred Pacquement assisted by Daphné Mallet

Organized within the context of the 12th edition of the Croisements Festival,
HIGH-TENSION brings together eight of the winning artists from the Marcel Duchamp Prize, all of them strongly committed to their uncompromising approach to today’s world. A sensitive and sometimes critical approach that takes into consideration the circulation of information, the impact of new technologies, urban developments and the memory of warring conflicts … High-tension, meaning a refusal of neutrality coming from artists in debate with contemporary society and its contradictions. Here, art is message, reflection and field of investigation. But also, High-tension meaning the transmission of energy: by manipulating images or constructing imaginary spaces, these artists show us a high voltage world; a world reinvented yet founded on reality and imbued with poetry.
