Exhibition of the 2019 Marcel Duchamp Prize at the Centre Pompidou :
9 October 2019 to 6 January 2020
Selection Committee for the 2019 Marcel Duchamp Prize
The exhibition of the Marcel Duchamp Prize 2019 at the Centre Pompidou will take place from 9 October 2019 to 6 January 2020 in Galerie 4, level 1.
For its 19th edition, the Marcel Duchamp Prize presents projects with varied plastic foundations and thus reflects, thanks to the choices of the ADIAF selection committee, the diversity of practices coexisting today in France. Eric Baudelaire, a filmmaker by preference, is putting together a comprehensive exhibition project based on a film shot with schoolchildren from Seine-Saint-Denis. Katinka Bock and Marguerite Humeau offer two different approaches to sculpture. The first delicately re-reads the legacy of contemporary sculpture based on a delicate materiality. The second takes up narrativity again and promises new mythological subjects based on scientific premises anchored in the present. But the most remarkable event of this edition is undoubtedly the return of painting, which for a long time was absent from the Marcel Duchamp Prize, thanks to the roguish project of Ida Tursic and Wilfried Mille: the duo questions with serious wit the very possibility of painting today.
On Monday 14 October 2019, the panel met to choose the laureate of the 2019 Marcel Duchamp Prize from among the four artists nominated for this edition: Eric Baudelaire, Katinka Bock, Marguerite Humeau and Ida Tursic & Wilfried Mille. These deliberations followed a presentation of the artists by their rapporteurs, in the above order: Philippe Mangeot, Katrina Brown, Alexandra Midal, Bernard Marcadé.
The panel of judges comprising seven leading figures in the art world – Bernard Blistène, Gilles Fuchs, Joao Fernandes, Jean de Loisy, Afroditi Panagiotakou, Catherine Petitgas and Akemi Shiraha – awarded the 2019 Marcel Duchamp Prize to Éric Baudelaire, born in 1973 in Salt Lake City in the United States, who lives and works in France and is represented by the Greta Meert Gallery in Brussels, Barbara Wien Gallery in Berlin and Juana de Aizpuru Gallery in Madrid.
