Eleye returned to her birthtown Deurne (Noord-Brabant), working in the studio in Eindhoven, and sleeping over at her family. The works in the exhibition investigate family, the loss of childhood and changing family relationships. This 7-week residency project was concluded with this solo show. Visitors were able to meet family members in real life in the exhibition, who normally only show up as subjects in the works.

Offspring 2020/Zigzag, 2020
De Ateliers Amsterdam


curated by Fabian Schöneich 












  

This exhibition concluded two years of working at post-academic institute De Ateliers in Amsterdam.

A range of various works were shown that represent the different media, materials and people that take part in Eleye’s practice. For example the nightstand piece, a collected object from the family home, a short experimental film portraits her relationship with her mother in a conflict about the family table. The swearwords often used by her father in wood hang onto the wall and a monumental picture of the father’s torso with relationship tattoo, he and her mother still wear after their divorce, stands in the middle of the space.


Deze tentoonstelling rondde de tweejarige werkperiode af waarin Eleye werkte bij de post-academische instelling De Ateliers in Amsterdam. In deze tentoonstelling zijn werken gekozen die de verschillende materialen, technieken en personen laten zien die een rol spelen in Eleye’s werk. Een voorbeeld is het nachtkastje waar haar broertje naast is geboren en De Eetkamertafel (2020), waarin de relatie tussen haar moeder en haar zichtbaar wordt in een conflict over de familietafel.

This series of wall sculptures is inspired by the typical swearwords of Eleye’s father. The words are familiar in her hometown region and can be considered as portraits of her father. The bords remind the viewer of practical self-made signs often used for houses, bars, camping sites or boats. They are made out of domestic scrap-wood coming from renovated interiors that show signs of past use and deconstruction.

Deze serie wandborden is geïnspireerd op de typische scheldwoorden van haar vader. Hier wordt zowel de manier van vloeken weergegeven die zowel typisch is voor Zuidoost-Brabant waar Eleye’s familie woont als de manier waarop haar vader scheldt. Het werk herinnert aan knutselachtige doe-het-zelf naamborden die vaak aan huizen, boten of in café’s hangen. Ze zijn gemaakt van resthout, afkomstig uit gerenoveerde huizen die huiselijke sporen uit het verleden tonen.
