Prix Marcel Duchamp
Centre Pompidou, Paris
Tatiana Trouve' has been awarded the last edition of Prix Marcel Duchamp. Her exhibition at the Centre Pompidou redefines the geography of Espace 315 to produce an indeterminable space, putting perception into question through the play of scale and perspective. Corridors stretch to infinity, while the space is divided in the middle by a pierced black metal grille; on the walls are new drawings, black on black, in which forms drawn in graphite pencil or cut from sheet tin emerge and disappear with changes in the angle of view. In addition, Miroslav Tichy' presents a series of photograps.
Tatiana Trouve' - Prix Marcel Duchamp
Established by the Adiaf (Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l’Art Français) http://www.adiaf.com in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the Prix Marcel Duchamp is intended to promote the international recognition of artists working in France.
The prize for 2007 has been awarded to Tatiana Trouvé, born in Cosenza (Italy) in 1968, who in recent years has made her mark with exhibitions in France’s leading contemporary art spaces (Double Bind, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2007, Aujourd'hui, hier, ou il y a longtemps..., CAPC, Bordeaux, 2004) and solo shows in London and New York, as well participating in group shows in France and abroad.
Trouvé’s exhibition at the Centre Pompidou redefines the geography of Espace 315 to produce an indeterminable space, putting perception into question through the play of scale and perspective. Corridors stretch to infinity, while the space is divided in the middle by a pierced black metal grille; on the walls are new drawings (from the “Remanence” series), black on black, in which forms drawn in graphite pencil or cut from sheet tin emerge and disappear with changes in the angle of view. Bronze sculptures seem to defy the laws of physics, a rope rises up to curve through the air… A whole new world in the interstices of the old.
The title of the exhibition, 4 BETWEEN 3 AND 2, refers to the idea presiding over the creation of this world, the search for an intermediate dimension, a fourth, temporal dimension, between the three dimensions of sculpture and the two dimensions of drawings – a temporality that finds physical expression in the time of the exhibition in a continuous fall of black sand across the walls of the principal space, suggesting the gradual disappearance of the exhibition itself, its obliteration in and by time.

Miroslav Tichý
This is the first exhibition in France of the photographic work of the Czech artist Miroslav Tichý, now more than 80 years old. Only recently discovered, his work reveals the distinctive talent of a marginal and somewhat monomaniacal figure who steadfastly refused the social, political and personal values of the Communist period, form its beginning in 1948 to its end in the late 1980s.
Tichý took up photography in the mid-1950s, reinventing it as it were from scratch and building his own cameras and enlargers from shoe-boxes, tin cans, recycled glass and other waste materials.
His timeless and uncategorizable images, shot instinctively or carelessly on handmade cameras with makeshift optics, offer an extraordinary vision of a fantastical, eroticised reality, half real, half dream. Women on the TV screen : these are his single, obsessional subject.
Rescued from neglect by his neighbour, the film director Roman Buxbaum, in 1989, Tichý's work was first shown at the Sevilla Biennale in 2004. This exhibition at the Centre Pompidou brings together a number of cameras and some hundred photographs, mostly from the Foundation Tichý Ocean.
