The French-born artist of Algerian heritage, Kader Attia, has been awarded the 2016 Prix Marcel Duchamp, France's most prestigious art prize and comes with a €35,000 cash prize. Attia explores different cultures and questions western hegemony. Kader Attia was chosen over three other shortlisted artists: the Paris-born Yto Berrada, German Ulla von Brandenburg, and Barthélémy Toguo from Cameroon. The Marcel Duchamp Prize has been granted to a French artist or artist living in France each year since 2000. Founded by the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF), the prize has been organized in partnership with the Centre Georges Pompidou since its inception, and with FIAC since 2005. Previous winners include Thomas Hirschhorn (2000), Tatiana Trouvé (2007), Cyprien Gaillard (2010), and Melik Ohanian (2015).
