We are delighted to announce that Xie Lei has been awarded the 2025 Prix Marcel Duchamp, recognizing his distinctive contribution to contemporary painting.
Rooted in the long tradition of figurative and symbolic art, Xie Lei’s practice renews the language of painting by exploring the tension between visibility and evanescence. His works unfold as thresholds between the real and the imaginary, the physical and the psychological. With subtle chromatic vibrations and phosphorescent hues, he creates spaces where time seems suspended — a poetic resistance to the acceleration of the present.
For the 25th edition of the Prix Marcel Duchamp, Xie Lei presents seven monumental canvases, a chromatic symphony of luminous greens that blur the boundaries of perception and transform gravity into a dreamlike state. His works invite viewers into an experience of slowness and contemplation, reconnecting painting with its capacity for reverie and reflection.

Piece for A Clock
Performance

In their performance Piece For A Clock, Mara Wohnhaas & Magdalena Frauenberg play a barrel organ duet. Since the instrument is limited to only 20 notes, the selected pop songs are transformed into abstract/reduced melodies and an exploration of the instrument, promises, limitations, and expectations. The title is derived from Mozart’s three pieces for barrel organ, which he himself classified under the title “A piece for an organ work in a clock.” He wrote them as a commission and only because he was in an unsatisfactory financial situation.

German artist Claudia Wieser works with photo-based wallpaper, ceramic tile, and other seemingly decorative elements to create environments filled with crisscrossing historical and biographical narratives. Working between art and utilitarian object, she considers the various components in her structures, which refer to art, architecture, design, film, and theater, as “individuals in a constellation.” Initially trained as a blacksmith, Wieser also worked in set design while getting her degree in art. Both experiences, she says, played an important role in shaping her thinking and practice. [...]

Gerhard Richter. Image and Reflection brings together some 40 works across a variety of media—including paintings, glass objects, mirror pieces, and tapestries. The focus is on the motif of mirroring as a central principle within Richter's oeuvre. The artist not only uses mirroring as a physical phenomenon—with reflective glass surfaces and actual mirrors—but also as a pictorial strategy: by repeating and multiplying structures and colours, as in his Strip paintings. The mirror installation 10 Graue Spiegel, übereinander (10 Grey Mirrors, On Top of One Another) from 2024 underscores the ongoing relevance of this theme within Richter‘s work. With a new comprehensive essay by Dieter Schwarz.

The artist duo FORT—Alberta Niemann (b. 1982, Bremen) and Jenny Kropp (b. 1978, Frankfurt/Main)—connects art and everyday life in striking ways. With precisely chosen artistic strategies, they evoke stories of remarkable intensity. Their current exhibition FANTASY ISLAND features large-scale sculptures, enigmatic objects, and expansive installations across more than 800 m².
In conversation with curator Ingo Clauß, FORT offers insight into their practice. What inspires them? What societal role does art play for them? What is it like to work as a duo? The talk spans from their beginnings in Bremen to national and international projects, and delves into their newest works.
The evening concludes with the presentation of the exhibition catalogue (hardcover, 80 pages, 29 euros at the museum counter).
