Reiffers Initiatives - Mentorship Exhibition 2025
The fifth Reiffers Initiatives Mentorship Exhibition opens on October 24 during Art Basel, featuring a unique exhibition by Daniel Buren and Miles Greenberg.
On the occasion of Mentorship 2025, Daniel Buren presents a permanent in situ work entitled ‘La Façade aux Acacias,’ entirely covering the Reiffers Initiatives Foundation venue at 30 rue des Acacias, Paris 17th.
Daniel Buren’s ‘La Façade aux Acacias’ covers the entire façade with large isosceles triangles and zigzagging diagonals, creating a dynamic interplay between geometry, light, and the surrounding cityscape. Alongside this, he presents a second in situ work, ‘New Images of the Sky.’ Both works, created to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the mentorship program, transform the building into an artistic canvas and invite viewers to see urban space in a new way.
As a mentee in the 2025 program, Miles Greenberg presents new monumental aluminum cast sculptures and a never-before-seen performance by Yseult. His exhibition, ‘Gods of Solaris,’ explores the dialogue between his sculptural and performative practices.
His large-scale immersive works place the body at the center, exploring its poetics through slowness, the decomposition of form, and the lens of the African diaspora. His extreme performances become sculptures and videos, creating ritual spaces where audiences experience emotions beyond language.
Reiffers Art Initiatives is a foundation created to support young contemporary creation and cultural diversity.
Reiffers Art Initiatives’ mission is to support France’s new art scene and give it international visibility. It finances and gives exposure to thirty emerging artists every year, who will influence tomorrow’s contemporary art scene.
