All the modes of expression of the visual arts and visual are concerned: sculpture, installation, photography, video, painting, etc

The budget is of 35.000 euros. The prize winner is invited to create a then exposed original work in the Pompidou center for two months and whose expenses of production are dealt with by the ADIAF with 30.000 euros height.

For each edition, a catalog devoted to the prize winner and nominated is published.

Price Marcel Duchamp 2005

Prize winner

Claude Closky

Unfolding

The price was decreed saturdays October 8th 2005 with the International exhibition of Contemporary art of Paris (FIAC) in the presence of Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, Minister for the culture and the communication.
According to the official press release of the ADIAF: the jury particularly appreciated the step of Claude Closky in the complexity of its visual language and the multitude of the supports employed by the artist (books, Internet sites, video work, photographs, paintings…). Closky shows a great control in the diversity and the complexity of its vocabulary. It knew to pre-empt the use now widespread of a diversification of the media. The universal language that it implements appears of a great plastic maturity.
For the first time since the creation of the price, the artists presented to the public each one a work within the framework of Fiac. Although the price rewards an artistic course, this exposure had an important influence on the jury and gave a popular legitimation (public having obviously appreciated the Journal of Closky more than works of its three competitors). Closky did not leave favorite, the Barber for example had almost announced the victory of Kader Attia, and the Journal of Arts commented on the event (10/21/05) in manner extremely négative.
The October 10th 2005, in its speech in favor of the artists in Fiac (which constitutes the first assembled to the crenel of a Prime Minister in favor of the Contemporary art since Georges Pompidou), Dominique de Villepin congratulated Claude Closky.
Le May 16th 2006 was in the installation “Horse-gear” created by Claude Closky with Space 315 of the Center Pompidou within the framework of the Duchamp Price. For the occasion, the Duchamp price was officially given to the artist, in the presence of the Minister for the Culture Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres.
