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.
