The juxtaposition of the artists nominated in 2014 and the former prize-winners in the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum makes the unambiguous affinity to the themes and strategies of the eponymous artist Marcel Duchamp. Conceptual shifts in the meaning of everyday objects can be found in a wide range of variations in the exhibited works. The selection of artists furthermore underscores the significance of Marcel Duchamp as one of the key forefathers of contemporary art.
