Awards of the Week Prix Marcel Duchamp 2026artBrognon RollinPrix Marcel DuchampBrognon Rollin wins the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2026. Coming together as a duo in 2006, Brognon Rollin’s practice is distinguished by its focus on human experience, making encounter its driving force and people its primary material. Their work gives form to experiences of time, duration and waiting, while remaining closely connected to those whom society marginalises or renders invisible. For the 2026 edition of the prize, they present an immersive installation combining mechanical devices, light and remote participation, drawing on testimonies related to sobriety and addiction, while exploring themes of waiting, vulnerability and resilience. Image: Exhibition view, Prix Marcel Duchamp 2026, Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris. © Romain DarnaudAbout the Prix Marcel Duchamp Prix Art & Environnement 2026artLivia MelziPrix Art & EnvironnementLee Ufan Arles and Maison Guerlain have announced Livia Melzi as the winner of the fourth edition of the Prix Art & Environnement. Born in Brazil in 1985, Livia Melzi lives and works between Paris, São Paulo and Zurich. An oceanographer and artist, she explores museum collections and the narratives surrounding them. During her residency at Lee Ufan Arles, Livia Melzi will develop her project The Proxy Collection. Following a project initiated in the ruins of the National Museum of Brazil, in which she explored objects lost to fire, she now turns her research to the Rhône River in Arles. Beneath the water lies a collection of ancient objects preserved by their environment, inaccessible yet protected from oblivion through research, traces and narratives. Image: Installation view, Livia Melzi, Laboratoire pour un musée du futur, OFFSCREEN, Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, Paris, October 20–25, 2026. © Romain DarnaudAbout the Prix Art & Environnement Isamu Noguchi Award 2026artDanh Vo Yohji YamamotoIsamu Noguchi AwardDanh Vo and Yohji Yamamoto are the winners of the thirteenth annual Isamu Noguchi Award. Staging conversations across history, Danh Vo is drawn to the Trojan Horses, the beautiful gifts and fabulous drag by which power persuades, conditions, and assimilates itself to those it shapes and exploits. Vo’s projects emerge via objects that have accrued meaning in the world through their proximity to specific events, or their currency as universal icons. Since establishing Y’s in 1972 and presenting his first Yohji Yamamoto runway collection during Paris Fashion Week in 1981, Yohji Yamamoto has rejected conventional ideas of fit, proportion, and gender. Known as the “poet of black,” Yamamoto has redefined the idea of beauty, subverting stereotypes in pursuit of a new geography of the body and a universal silhouette. Images: Exhibition view, Danh Vo, White Cube, New York, 2026.

Anna Ridler is a British artist and writer whose work explores complex systems—whether technological, financial, or ecological—and the ways in which they both reveal and conceal. Circadian Nocturne is an installation composed of AI-generated animations depicting nocturnal flowers, originally commissioned for Times Square’s Midnight Moment. Since there is no official record of these nocturnal flowers—which are considered to have no economic value—the artist created her own archive by consulting scientists and cultivating certain plants, then trained neural networks using this data. The work illustrates Ridler’s approach of archiving what official systems overlook and using AI to reveal the collision between different systems of value and temporality. Image: Anna Ridler, Circadian Nocturne, 2023.About the Prix Arts numériques Révélation Design 2026designAnatole PonsRévélation DesignAnatole Pons is the winner of the Révélation Design 2026 for his project OVERCAST. OVERCAST is a research project on concrete, developed on construction sites in direct collaboration with specialized craftsmen. It is based on an understanding of formwork principles, pouring processes, and the systems that govern the material’s application. The project takes into account the constraints specific to concrete—its weight, its irreversibility, and its integration into the context—and explores how these factors translate to the scale of the object. Image: Anatole Pons, OVERCAST, lamp, bench, armchair, sideboard, fiber-reinforced concrete 15mm, 2026. © Anatole Pons, École des Arts Décoratifs – PSL, Paris, 2026.
