Alice Anderson nominated for the 2020 Prix Marcel Duchamp

Alice Anderson has been nominated for the 2020 Marcel Duchamp Prize. Organised by the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, the prize is considered one of the most prestigious in France.

Anderson's work is performative; her sculptures, paintings and drawings result from performances invoking the notion of the sacred. Her studies on movement led her research to the Kogi culture in the heart of the Sierra Nevada in Colombia where observation of 'the rituality of gestures' and their ancestral practices fed her reflection on the place of the human in contemporary digital societies.
