Acne Studios Launches Its First Permanent Gallery in Paris
Summary In the lead-up to Paris Fashion Week,Acne Studioshas announced the opening of Acne Paper Palais Royal, its first permanent gallery space. Nestled between the storied arcades of Palais Royal in Paris, the new venue ushers in a new era for the Swedish house, deepening its presence in art, design and publishing. Following the recent collaborative capsule and in-store exhibition with artistJonathan Lyndon Chase, and the revival ofAcne Paperin 2021, this announcement comes as a natural next step for the Jonny Johansson-led label, who's legacy is inextricable with conceptual photography and off-body artistry. Named after the brand's semi-annual publication, much like Acne Paper, the gallery will serve as an interdisciplinary forum for emerging and established voices making waves in their respective lanes. The space, which overlooks the lush garden complex, will host a range of rotating exhibitions, artist talks and book launches, furthering Acne Studios' commitment to creativity at large. Acne Paper Palais Royal will open on June 26 with a solo exhibition by Dutch fashion and fine arts photographerPaul Kooiker, whose surreal captures recently graced the pages of the latestGoldenedition. The inaugural show, titled2025, will present 42 portraits of students at the Gerri Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. With a picture day-esque flair, the images capture the uncertain tension of the present often tied to life milestones. The gallery not only affirms the brand's 'porous,' cross-cultural ethos, but pays tribute the early days of ACNE, the design and film-focused creative collective that gave rise to the house that so many know and love today. Since its founding in 1996, Acne Studios has treated fashion as just one part of a wider creative language, and with this space comes a new chapter, steadfast and true to that mission.

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.
