On Monday October 18, 2021, the jury met to select the winner of the Marcel Duchamp Prize 2021 from the four artists nominated for this year’s edition: Julian Charrière, Isabelle Cornaro, Julien Creuzet, Lili Reynaud Dewar. These deliberations were followed by a presentation of the artists by their respective rapporteurs: Martin Guinard-Terrin, Clément Dirié, Maboula Soumahoro and Manuel Segade.
The seven-member jury – Xavier Rey, Claude Bonnin, Leon Amitai, Shalva Breus, Emma Lavigne, Akemi Shiraha, Annabelle Ténèze – awarded the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2021 to Lili Reynaud Dewar. Born in La Rochelle in 1975, she lives and works in Grenoble. The artist is represented by Clearing, Brussels & New-York; Emmanuel Layr, Vienna & Rome.
“It was difficult to decide between four personalities destined for a magnificent aesthetic career. Since it was necessary to do so, the passionate discussions between the members of the jury singled out Lili Reynaud Dewar, whose universal approach, effective institutional and social criticism, and above all her risk-taking with her own body were particularly touching. I salute this exemplary work, whose scope in no way compromises the demands of form, with the utmost accuracy.” Xavier Rey, Director of the Musée national d’art moderne
“Once again this year, the Marcel Duchamp Prize has made an exceptional selection, echoing the great challenges facing the world and society, and demonstrating the power of artists to enlighten and move us. The winner Lili Reynaud Dewar, with her original and, in short, “Duchampian” practice, honors the French scene that ADIAF has been defending for over twenty years.” Claude Bonnin, President of ADIAF
