Brognon Rollin Wins France’s 2026 Prix Marcel Duchamp
The jury named David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin as the 2026 winners of France’s Prix Marcel Duchamp. The duo works across installation, sculpture, video, performance, and photography. The €35,000 award’s nominee exhibition took place at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris because the Centre Pompidou is closed.
The 2026 award went to David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin, a duo whose work moves among installation, sculpture, video, performance, and photography. The prize carries €35,000, equivalent to a little more than $40,000.
Five artists were nominated this year rather than the usual four: Joël Andrianomearisoa, Joséfa Ntjam, Laura Henno, and Brognon Rollin. Their group presentation was mounted at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, since the Centre Pompidou remains shut; the caption identifies an installation view of Brognon Rollin’s “5,376 years, 1,892 months, 1,110 days, 1,201 hours.”
The award may raise Brognon Rollin’s visibility among international curators, collectors, and museum audiences, potentially opening more opportunities for large-scale and interdisciplinary projects. Because the Pompidou is closed, the shift to the Musée d’Art Moderne could draw different local visitors to the nominee show and may reinforce Paris’s museum ecosystem as a site for major art prizes. Audiences and emerging artists could also see how institutional disruption reshapes where contemporary art is presented and debated.
