Reiffers Art Initiatives - "Infiltrées, 5 manières d'habiter le monde" Exhibition
"INFILTRÉES – 5 manières d’habiter le monde" is the second group exhibition of the Reiffers Art Initiatives 2023 Prize.
The exhibition "Infiltrées - 5 manières d'habiter le monde" highlight the artistic process of five emerging artists from the contemporary scene: Meriem Bennani, Han Bing, Bianca Bondi, Binta Diaw and Ser Serpas.
The exhibition invites the five artists to take over the Acacias Art Center - whose new architecture will be revealed on this occasion - to display works that are almost entirely new. Artists who are not content to simply engage with the world, but who work just as hard to reconfigure it aesthetically and conceptually to propose other visions and other ways of making the world, together. At the end of the exhibition, one of them will be awarded the Reiffers Prize. With the support of Mazarine Group and La Mode en Images.
For the second edition of the Reiffers Art Initiatives Prize, the artistic committee members chose five emerging artists from the contemporary scene. This new group exhibition highlighted the artistic approach of these young talents. This year's prize goes to the artist Serpas.
The artist's works form abstract poems that tell of our relationship with our environment and our ability to make it our own, to reassemble it as much as to sublimate it. Represented by Galerie Balice Hertling, the artist is not content to simply grapple with the world, but works just as hard to reconfigure it aesthetically and conceptually, to propose other imaginaries and other ways of making the world, together. Voted for by the public and the Reiffers Art Initiatives artistic committee, the work of this young American artist living in Paris was singled out for its artistic approach and the sensitivity of its works, which faithfully reflect the tensions shaking today's society.
The art book "Infiltrées - 5 manières d'habiter le monde" features the exhibition at the Acacias Art Center of the 2023 edition of the Reiffers Art Initiatives Prize.
The exhibition featured works by five emerging women artists from four continents (Africa, America, Asia and Europe), selected by the artistic committee: Meriem Bennani, Han Bing, Binta Diaw, Bianca Bondi and Ser Serpas, the 2023 winner.

Reiffers Art Initiatives - Mentorship Exhibition 2023
The third exhibition of the Reiffers Art Initiatives mentoring program at Paris + by Art Basel.
Lorna Simpson mentors artist Gaëlle Choisne for the third exhibition resulting from the 2023 mentorship, presented at the Acacias Art Center on the occasion of Paris + by Art Basel.
For this latest edition of its Mentoring Program, Reiffers Art Initiatives is presenting an exhibition by artist Gaëlle Choisne, accompanied by her mentor Lorna Simpson - a pioneer in the 80s of conceptual photography that closely links text and image - whose work has been exhibited in numerous prestigious art institutions and events, including the Venice Biennale in 1990.
Gaëlle Choisne is a French artist based in Paris. The artist likes to cross intellectual and artistic disciplines. Singing, music, sculpture, videos, debates and voodoo rites.
Gaëlle Choisne's artistic approach is guided by multiple inspirations. In her installations, created at the crossroads of sculpture and photography, she evokes her relationship with her Haitian origins. Represented by Galerie Air de Paris, the artist has already exhibited internationally, notably in London, Kyoto and the United States.

Oscar de la Renta - New York
Mazarine New York partnered with Oscar de la Renta to unveil New York, a fragrance that captures the spirit of the city that never sleeps.
The campaign follows Candice Swanepoel as she arrives in NYC, blending the vibrant energy of the iconic metropolis with the timeless elegance of Oscar de la Renta.
With notes of strawberry, rose, and sandalwood, the scent encapsulates the essence of the city, while the flacon’s vertical fluting pays homage to NYC’s Art Deco architecture. The fragrance’s soft pink hue reflects the ephemeral femininity of the Oscar Woman, merging vibrant urban energy with refined sophistication.
