1 - Marcel Duchamp Prize

Centre Pompidou – Galerie 4
Artists nominated for the 2017 edition : Maja Bajevic, Joana Hadjithomas et Khalil Joreige, Charlotte Moth et Vittorio Santoro
Exhibition curated by Alicia Knock, from 27 September to 8 January 2018

Maja Bajevic, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Charlotte Moth and Vittorio Santoro have all created new work for the occasion. Pursuing their respective investigations, they explore the image, the poetics of the archive, the hidden genealogies of objects and words.

Trained in Sarajevo and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Maja Bajevic exhibited at Documenta 12 in 2007 and at the last Venice Biennale (”All the World’s Futures”) in 2015. She makes politically engaged work that examines contemporary geopolitical situations, access to information, and the categories of power (notably economic).
Based in both Paris and Beirut, and also showing at the Venice Biennale in 2015, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige collaborate on work chiefly concerned with transmission of knowledge and the narrative potential of the different strata of the image.
For her first museum show in Paris, Charlotte Moth – a British artist living in France – continues her exploration of space as architecture and as potential, tendentially transforming history of art into poetic vision.
Born in Switzerland to Sicilian parents and now based in Paris, the self-taught Vittorio Santoro came to artistic attention in France with an exhibition at the Fondation Ricard in 2012. Closely connected to literature, his work offers minimalist narratives of objects from a rigorously “exploded” perspective.

While all already have work in the Centre Pompidou’s collection, these artists – young and not so young – will be showing there for the first time, incidentally illustrating the international pull of the French art scene. All are in some way are engaged in a reflection on the languages of the image and their ability to generate stories both real and fictional, charged with poetry.

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.

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.
