Reiffers Art Initiatives - "Infiltrées, 5 manières d'habiter le monde" Exhibition

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. 

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 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.

"The Moon Is Leaving Us" is a large-scale installation by Hong Kong-based artist Phoebe Hui, exploring the symbolic power of the Moon, between cultural representations and scientific realities.

Opening at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2018, Albedo, so titled for its reference to the amount of solar radiation a surface reflects, takes the form of a large-scale temporal pavilion of upturned, reflective umbrellas of varying sizes. The work continues the Aerocene Foundation's effort to raise awareness of the increasing fragility of the planet's atmosphere and to propose imaginative solutions to free the world from the need for fossil fuels.

This experiential work called "Slow-Moving Luminaries" invites visitors to question the relationship between man and nature. On the upper level, miniature buildings appear and disappear from the pool throughout the day. The mechanically complex installation evokes buildings submerged by climate change. In striking contrast, the lower level reveals a labyrinth of plant elements.

With this new artistic collaboration, Audemars Piguet continues its strong commitment to art and the environment.

Sun Xun reveals "Reconstruction of the Universe", a monumental bamboo pavilion housing a surreal 3D animated film in stop motion inhabited by half-human, half-animal creatures and dreamlike landscapes. The artist combines traditional Chinese ink, woodcut and animation to explore the theme of the metaphysics of time.

The "Ice Cycle" exhibition draws its inspiration from ice structures to express the purity of nature and the passing of time. Its main thematic elements are 3D representations of ice and water.

"Curiosity” takes the form of a floating cottage standing in front of the iconic modern abandoned structure of Miami's Marine Stadium. The chalet hosts events throughout the week.
