Acne Studios to launch first standalone art gallery in Paris
Acne Studios will launch its first standalone art gallery in Paris this June, replacing its boutique inside the Gardens of the Palais Royal. The gallery, curated by the team behind Acne Paper, is called Acne Paper Palais Royal, and is designed to present a dynamic, cross-disciplinary program of exhibitions, artist talks, magazine launches, book signings and cultural events. The brand plans to open the new art space with a solo exhibition by Paul Kooiker, when it will host celebratory summer evening drinks in the storied and beautiful gardens on Wednesday, June 25. 'Conceived as a space for creative exchange, the gallery will offer a platform for both established voices and emerging talents, inviting each to engage in a unique conversation with the space and its context,' the Stockholm-based brand said in a release. Entitled 2025 Paul Kooiker, the debut art show will feature 42 portraits of art students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. 'While reminiscent of the tradition of school portraiture, which typically commemorates milestones in academic and personal development, these images observe the unstable present. Where the desires of youth collide with the unknown, where hope and despair are forced to coexist,' read the Acne Studios release. Born in Rotterdam, the sexagenarian Kooiker studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In 1996, he won the Prix de Rome Photography, and in 2009, he received the A. Roland Holst Award for his oeuvre. Kooiker's works have been displayed in multiple solo and group exhibitions and can be found in many international collections, both public and private.
