1 - Marcel Duchamp Prize
“What a long way we’ve come in the last twenty years when ADIAF decided to take action for the French scene! Today, the Marcel Duchamp Prize embodies an open and diverse mindset which is perfectly illustrated by the laureate of this 20th Prize.”
Gilles Fuchs, President of ADIAF
“The wealth and complexity of Kapwani Kiwanga’s project, situated somewhere between anthropology and art, opens up a vast poetic and political programme, a genuine laboratory of today’s thinking on memory and archiving as sources for the transfiguration of the world.”
Bernard Blistène, Director of Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou
