Vernissage fredag 25 april 2014 kl 17–22
”Split” är en undersökning av den flyktiga hemkänslan och en skildring av möbler som ett medel för vilseledande. Den typ av hem det handlar om är hemmet för någon som förlorat många, vilket gör det flytande och kryptiskt.
Då den ursprungliga användningen för möbler främst var för transport härstämmar ordet mobili på italienska, meuble på franska eller möbel på tyska alla från mobilitet. I detta sammanhang är de svävande möblerna i rummet helt gjorda av flyttlådor, vilket antyder föreställningar om rotlöshet samtidigt som de ger ett kortvarigt intryck av domesticitet. Under tiden skapas ett andra lager av inhemska föremål genom metodisk manipulation av ljus och skuggor. Detta lager av projektioner överlappar möblerna och lämnar åskådaren (eller den tillfälliga invånaren) med en dubbel illusion.
Hale Güngör Oppenheimer är intresserad av mellanrum och resultaten av att byta hem. Hon har tagit sina kandidatexamina på Parsons School of Design i Paris (Fri Konst 2004) och på Pratt Institute i New York (Måleri 2010), samt sin masterexamen på Konstfack i Stockholm (Textil i det utvidgade fältet 2013). Oppenheimer representeras av Pg Art Gallery i Istanbul och bor och arbetar i Stockholm sedan 2010.

“Split” is an investigation of the fleeting sense of home and a portrayal of furniture as a means of deception. The specific type of home that is dealt with is that of someone who has lost many, and therefore quintessentially fluid and cryptic.
Since the original utilization of furniture was mainly directed towards transportation, the word mobili in Italian, meuble in French or möbel in German were all derived from mobility. Within this context, the pieces of furniture floating in the room are made entirely out of cardboard moving boxes, hinting at notions of unsettledness while simultaneously giving a short-lived impression of domesticity. Meanwhile, a second layer of domestic objects is created through the methodical manipulation of lights and shadows. This layer of projections overlaps the pieces of furniture, leaving the viewer (or the momentary inhabitant) with a twofold illusion.
Hale Güngör Oppenheimer is interested in in-between spaces and the outcomes of relocation. She holds her BFA degrees from Parsons School of Design in Paris (Fine Arts 2004), and Pratt Institute in New York (Painting 2010), and her MFA from Konstfack in Stockholm (Textile in the Expanded Field 2013). Oppenheimer is represented by Pg Art Gallery in Istanbul and has been living and working in Stockholm since 2010.
Hale Gungör Oppenheimer är inbjuden av Andreas Ribbung.

Zines of the Zone at Candyland
We usually believe that the artists
communicate emotions and express ideas. We suppose that it is their
reason of being. That's why we find appropriate that public
institutions or private sponsors support some of them. In the time of
Niccolò Machiavelli that role was taken by rich princes. They
invited artists to decorate their house to shine brighter than other
princes’ houses. Apparently, it's seems to be a win-win situation
because the artists need resources not only to produce art but also to
show it. Meanwhile, we can wonder about the tastes and the motivations
of the princes. They surely make art happen as long as it fits their
ways. So we can also wonder: How independent is the art production? Who
is really in charge, communicating emotions and expressing ideas? And
what if artists produce things by themselves without compromise to
satisfy a sponsor?
Zines of the Zone is a project run by young French photographers
traveling through Europe to collect and show photo books auto produced
by photographs. On the 7th of May, they will be at Candyland to present
their ambulant library and make it grow. Welcome and have a look at
pictures made by independent artists, individuals communicating
emotions and expressing ideas for the beauty of it.

ZINES OF THE ZONE is a mobile library dedicated to selfpublished
photobooks, photozines, and any DIY printed matter related to
photography.
The photobook phenomenon is increasing and becoming trendy: more and
more photographers and graphic designers explore its possibilities,
more and more galleries and collectors are attracted by these objects.
As these objects are limited in their edition and as they are sold at a
fair price, they appear to be quickly sold out - and for that reason,
out of reach, hard to find.
Considering this, we started to think about the idea of creating a
library.
Our aim is to create a public collection so that anybody can have a
look at this printed matter, whether it is sold out or not. This
collection would act like a memory, a permanent place for the these
quite-ephemeral objects : a place where the books continue to live,
give inspiration, be manipulated. We consider self-publishing as a
practise of its own, and it deserves to be shared.
From january to july 2014, we travel across Europe by van, in order to
meet people involved into the self-publishing scene. We want to get a
deep understanding of how is self-publishing considered in Europe, who
are the makers and why do they make DIY printed objects. In each of the
50 cities of our tour, we organize a pop-up event.
ZINES OF THE ZONE is supported by the European Commission (Youth in
Action Programme), Ville de Nantes, and Région Pays de la Loire.
