Almine Rech congratulates Joël Andrianomearisoa on being selected by the Adiaf as a finalist for the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2026.

This prize, one of the most important in the contemporary art world, annually recognizes an artist for the excellence of their artistic practice. The announcement of the Prize winner will take place on October 22, 2026. The four nominated artists will be featured in a dedicated exhibition, opening on October 2, 2026, at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris.

Joël Andrianomearisoa expresses himself through various mediums and materials, seeking to give form to non-explicit and abstract narrations. From sculpture to installation, from craftsmanship to writing, from textile to architecture, he adopts a plural approach inspired by his Malagasy roots but also by the world and its multiple geographies.

Imbued with complex emotional experiences, his work gives rise to delicate and tension-filled creations, mirroring the breaths of our lives. A series of exercises in constant evolution … continuous explorations of the materiality of emotions.
