A new award for Grenoble born artist Julien Prévieux, 40, who recently won the Marcel Duchamp Award this Saturday at the Paris FIAC.

This prize rewards his work entit­led « What shall we do next ? » crea­ted bet­ween 2006 and 2011. Conceived as both a cho­reo­gra­phy and a movie, his work stages what « Elie During refers to as the ges­tures of the future », based on a cata­log of signs rela­ted to the tools of our contem­po­rary era.

For this pro­ject, Julien Prévieux sur­roun­ded him­self with pro­fes­sio­nal actors and dan­cers, mixing dance, plas­tic arts, tech­no­logy and expe­ri­men­ta­tion. For that mat­ter, he was accep­ted in resi­dence at the Los Angeles Flax Foundation during 2014.

The Grenoble born artist, now based in Paris is repre­sen­ted by the Jousse Entreprise gal­lery. His work was exhi­bi­ted nume­rous times, in par­ti­cu­lar at the Delme Synagogue, the Adhemar Castle in Montelimar, the Maison Populaire in Montreuil or at the FRAC in french low-Normandy.

A pres­ti­gious award in contem­po­rary art

The Marcel Duchamp Award was crea­ted in 2000 by the ADIAF, french asso­cia­tion for the inter­na­tio­nal cir­cu­la­tion of french art, gathe­ring over 350 contem­po­rary art col­lec­tors in France. It aims to present the most inno­va­tive artists from the french scene and sup­port their inter­na­tio­nal exposure.

Each year, one of them is picked out for his work in the fields of plas­tic and visual arts. Last year, artist Latifa Echakhch was awar­ded for her ins­tal­la­tion cal­led « Le Modèle ».

Thanks to this award, Julien Prévieux will get to be invi­ted in September 2015 for a per­so­nal exhi­bi­tion at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris.
