For eleven years running, France’s ADIAF has awarded a French artist a fantastic opportunity – €30,000 to produce an exhibition of work at the Centre Georges Pompidou. In honor of its namesake, the Prix Marcel Duchamp seeks out pioneering and challenging French contemporary artists, and this year’s nominees have worked in media ranging from digital animations in shower drains and white cubes crashing through museums to figurative sculpture and thumbprint ink drawings. The jury includes Centre Pompidou director Alfred Pacquement, Miami-based collector Rosa de La Cruz, and Documenta 13 director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Meet the four artists in the running.

The simple exhibition title Experience only hints at the range of perceptual distortions and adventures in store at the New Museum. The survey covers eighteen years of work by German artist and former entomologist Carsten Höller. Höller’s scientific past is evident, though visitors needn’t feel pressured to study up, as these interactive installations celebrate youthful discovery and play. Upon entering the exhibition, you can don Höller’s disorienting Upside-Down Goggles and encounter larger than life Giant Triple Mushrooms, sculptures that merge features of the psychoactive fly agaric mushroom with other mushroom species.

The latest New York City museum shows have us watching these four contemporary artists. At the Whitney, Aleksandra Mir seduces Galileo and collages the Virgin Mary with Saturn V rockets. Though many have tried, Doug Rickard’s series at MoMA may be the first successful photography project based entirely on images from Google Street View. Maurizio Cattelan goes into retirement with one final prank at the Guggenheim, dangling an entire career of work from the ceiling of the rotunda. Finally, in November, Clifford Owens assembles an all-star team of African-American artists to score performance works for his solo show at MoMA PS1.
