Centre Pompidou has announced that Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige are the winners of this year’s Marcel Duchamp Prize. The prize, which is awarded by Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) ‘to bring together the most innovative artists from the French scene and help them raise their international profile’, includes a €35,000 prize (approximately £31,400) and a painted bronze sculpture by artist Fabrice Hyber. The 2017 jury (Bernard Blistène, Gilles Fuchs, Carmen Gimenez, Erika Hoffmann, Mao Jihong, Jérôme Sans and Akemi Shiraha) chose Hadjithomas and Joreige from a shortlist of artists including Maja Bajevic, Charlotte Moth, and Vittorio Santoro.
