acne studios launches its first permanent art space in paris<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Acne Studios<\/strong><\/a> unveils a new permanent gallery<\/strong><\/a> space in Paris<\/strong><\/a>, Acne Paper Palais Royal, with ‘2025’, a solo exhibition<\/strong><\/a> by photographer Paul Kooiker on view through July 27th, 2025. Located at 124 Galerie de Valois, beneath the historic arcades of the Palais Royal<\/strong><\/a> and overlooking its iconic gardens, the space marks a significant chapter for the Swedish fashion house as it extends its presence beyond fashion into the realms of art, exhibitions, and cultural events.<\/p>\n

from magazine to life<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The gallery is named after Acne Paper, the biannual magazine<\/strong><\/a> of the Stockholm-based house<\/strong><\/a>, featuring fashion, art, design, and writing. Much like the magazine, this new space is designed to host a mix of creative content that spans from art shows and photography exhibitions to talks, book signings, and cultural events. It\u2019s intended as a space for dialogue and experimentation, where both well-known and emerging artists can share work and ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first exhibition at Acne Paper Palais Royal will feature new works by Dutch photographer<\/a><\/strong> Paul Kooiker, known for his unusual, stylized images that often explore the human body in surreal or theatrical ways. This choice fits well with Acne Studios\u2019 visual identity and its longtime interest in photography and conceptual image-making. Since its founding in 1996 in Stockholm as a multidisciplinary collective, Acne Studios has treated fashion as just one part of a larger creative practice. This gallery in Paris reinforces that approach, placing the brand in one of the most iconic cultural locations of the city.<\/p>\n

2025 photographic exhibition by Paul Kooiker<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paul Kooiker’s 2025 photographic exhibition, on view through July, 27th, 2025, gathers forty-two portraits of art students from Amsterdam\u2019s Gerrit Rietveld Academie, offering a sharp yet nuanced meditation on the ambivalence of young adulthood. While formally echoing the conventions of school portraiture, Kooiker\u2019s images resist nostalgia and instead document a generation caught between uncertainty and resilience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each portrait stands as a rite of passage and a snapshot of emotional ambiguity. The familiar format, head-on, tightly framed, and meticulously lit, serves as a canvas for psychological tension. These are not celebratory tokens of academic progression but rather open-ended reflections on a volatile moment. The students\u2019 expressions, neither entirely hopeful nor wholly anxious, channel the complexity of a world where optimism is tempered by crisis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
