Acacias Art Center - "You are my petrol" Exhibition
Acacias Art Center by Mazarine is pleased to welcome You are My Petrol, My Drive, My Dream, My Exhaust an exhibition by Laure Prouvost. FIAC 2018.
You are My Petrol, My Drive, My Dream, My Exhaust was born from a collaboration between curator Martha Kirszenbaum and the artist Laure Prouvost, selected to represent France at the 2019 Venice Biennale.
Laure Prouvost's immersive films, installations, drawings and wallpapers, combining the representation of desire, onirism and a fantasized description of nature, jeopardize our relationship to language and understanding through the intrication of complex narratives and surrealist moments that feed her unusual approach to the conventions of cinema and image.
The artist gives particular importance to language and its representation, and brilliantly masters this way of playing with words.
It strives to make visible the unimportant objects, those that the consumer system that governs our daily lives has left behind: residues, rubbish, broken or dysfunctional objects, unloved. You Are My Petrol, My Drive, My Dream, My Exhaust reveals the two sides of the same coin, through a diptych of videos that were presented through a resin-based installation, objects such as relics, a motorcycle, an LED or a vodka bar evoking the two environments, one rural and French, the other urban and American.
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.
