Galleri CC proudly presents the group exhibition 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝐹𝑜𝑔𝑔𝑦 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 with dylan ray arnold, Alma Edvall Bons, Mrah Gazi, and Mari Mattsson. The artists have been selected through our annual Open Call. The exhibition showcases sculptural installations, video, sound, and paintings/collages and explores domestic patterns, the routines that shape our days, and how our homes and private spaces are embedded with memory and ambiguity.
Autumn brings us inside. Leaves turn yellow, orange, and brown and start falling. There is a change in the air, and the weather becomes increasingly unsettling. Nights grow longer while the artificial lights inside grow stronger. The urge to be at ‘home’ and inside becomes more present. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝐹𝑜𝑔𝑔𝑦 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 invites you ‘home’, inside domestic daily life with everything that follows: familiar patterns, wallpapers, memories, nostalgia, routines, decorated interiors, and secret drawers. These settings and objects silently witness our lives, collecting our memories and tracing our upbringing. But inside the familiar hides a presence of something unknown or forgotten, that shapes us without us knowing.
Mari Mattsson’s work 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 (𝐻𝑢𝑑𝑎, 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑦, 𝐵𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠, 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑖, 𝐴𝑚𝑦, 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑦, 𝐽𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒 & 𝑆𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑝) is a sound installation with eight different interpretations of the graphic score 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟. The instructions on how to sing the score changes with the help of a clock and depending on the interpreter’s daily routine or their location. The ensemble in this version consists of a group of artists who shared a residency in an old train station. Each interpretation was recorded in the artists' respective homes, then arranged into a multi-channel composition, with one voice per speaker.
Mrah Gazi’s works explore visual contrasts between romanticism in cinema and interior/exterior environments. His drawings of azulejos (meaning "polished stone") from Portugal, along with other architectural lines and patterns, are removed from their original contexts and placed in the highly stylized interior environments of Soderbergh’s "Ocean’s" films. In these films, contrasting and heavily decorated interiors, along with dramatic lighting, play an essential role in conveying a sense of romanticism and artificial idealism.
dylan ray arnold’s scupltural installations, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃ℎ𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑡 and 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑁𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠(𝐼&𝐼𝐼) (𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑠 𝑁𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸𝑥𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑎𝑤𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔) combine gestures of hiding, concealing, covering, revealing, and retreating. These works use motifs such as flowers, drawers, and altered domestic materials like textiles, paper, and ceramics. The works explore a nocturnal sense of metamorphosis — an ongoing, and somewhat hidden, process of becoming.
Alma Edvall Bons presents the work 𝑅𝐴𝐷𝐻𝑈𝑆, consisting of photographs taken at the artist's grandfather’s house just before it was sold. The house has not been renovated since it was built in 1971 and it is like walking into a memory. It investigates the questions: What do you notice in a home? What do you see when everything is familiar? How do you remember a wallpaper? 𝑅𝐴𝐷𝐻𝑈𝑆 is about materials, memories, and how they taste. About a very squared lamp and notes on the key cabinet with quotes by Tolstoy.
