“TOI QUI CHEMINES IL N’Y A PAS DE CHEMIN” – BEIJING, CHINA

Journey exploring the artists of the Marcel Duchamp Prize

Exhibition at the Red Brick Art Museum from 26 April to 26 June 2019 in Beijing, organised with the support of the French Embassy in China and the Institut français, as part of the 14th edition of the Croisements festival.

Opening on Friday 26 April 2019.

This third exhibition of the Marcel Duchamp Prize in China offers a fresh look at the French scene through 14 laureate artists and nominees for the Marcel Duchamp Prize. Annabelle Ténèze, curator, has chosen to select the works with a focus on paths, i.e. on travels, journeys and discovery. Taking as its starting point a line by the Spanish poet Antonio Machado (1875-1939), “Toi qui chemines il n’y a pas de chemin” (travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking), this project brings together works in which travel is as much a subject as it is a metaphor. Each work thus becomes an opening, a path of discovery.

The artists: Yto Barrada (2016 nominee), Neïl Beloufa (2015 nominee), Michel Blazy (2008 nominee), Mohamed Bourouissa (2018 nominee), Ulla von Brandenburg (2016 nominee), Mircea Cantor (2011 laureate), Clément Cogitore (2018 laureate), Latifa Echakhch (2013 laureate), Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (2017 laureates), Camille Henrot ( 2010 nominee), Bertrand Lamarche (2012 nominee), Anri Sala (2002 nominee), Zineb Sedira (2015 nominee).

Curator : Annabelle Ténèze assisted by Daphné Mallet.

Curator: Alfred PACQUEMENT, Daphné MALLET, assistant

Honouring some 70 artists since its creation in 2000, the Marcel Duchamp Prize offers a wide panorama of the various trends of contemporary art in France. The organization of the exhibitions of the artists honoured by this collector’s prize throws invaluable light on the current energy and vitality of the French scene. The ADIAF can be credited with fifty or so exhibitions, including about 15 worldwide. Empowered by the prize’s international renown and the new impetus gained in 2016, the ADIAF is going on world tour again. Five major events are programmed for the first half of 2017- including two major exhibitions in China in Beijing and Canton, organized with the support of the French Embassy in China and the Institut Français, within the context of the 12th edition of the Croisements festival.

The HIGH-TENSION exhibition (Red Brick Art Museum, Beijing) and HIGH-TENSION 2 (Times Museum, Canton) brings together eight of the winning artists from the Marcel Duchamp Prize, 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.

Curator of the exhibition: Alfred Pacquement
Alfred Pacquement is an art historian and museum curator. He has been the Director of the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Delegate to the Plastic Arts, Director of the Ecole nationale des Beaux- Arts de Paris and of the Musée national d’art modern, Centre Pompidou from 2000 to 2013.
