You can also bring a drawing or a written text on the subject MLP - critical or maybe based on memories. Filmclips as well as vintage commercials will be shown throughout the evening.

We look forward to an evening of interesting meetings and discussions.

Anna is contemplating about MLP. Really, what was it all about? Why did I love them so much? What did the ponies do all day long? Were they all girls or did they have a gender at all? One thing is for sure, the commersial MLP-world was not the same as my MLP-world but I was ofcourse influenced by it. To re-fresh your memory: MLP was created by Hasbro, the first edition is from 1983 presenting six ponies. You can find MLP in toystores today but they look diffrent from the 1980's MLP. As an exampel: the legs are slimmer today as well as their bodies and the eyes are bigger and more "sparkley". The pink bubble of Rainbow Valley raises a lot of questions about fantasy worlds created by companies. But also you can't help that warm feeling you get from looking at your old toys. My MLP collection really makes me understand how a moulded plastic object stirs up a lot from the past. In what way did MLP influence me? Look at the picture above, from grooming ponies to grooming myself. Is there a connection? Did I learn this from playing? The funny thing is, MLP has nothing to do with real horses or ponnies. I didn't even like the real thing. So what was it all about? The picture of the three ponies features Emma's favourites.

Spring 2009
Abandoned Gallery
Abandoned Gallery was created in 2007 by the artists Emma Philipson, Kristian Körner and Robert Moreau. In February 2008 curator Anna Norberg joined the group and the concept was developed further more. When exhibitions are presented the spectator can only see and experience the current exhibition through a glass door, the gallery space can only be entered during openings. Speakers are placed outside the gallery to enable sound to be heard, it is thus possible to show a video even though the gallery is abandoned. In 2009 the concept has been reworked, our direction is video based art, events and workshops. The idea is not complicated - Abandoned Gallery wants to create a relaxed atmosphere for those interested in art and popular-culture.

Vernissage 24 oktober. Jan Cardell.
Jan Cardell
Abandoned Gallery presenterar filmen Papyra.
Vernissage 24 oktober kl.18-21
Öppettier: ons-fre kl.13-16, fre-lör kl. 13-17
Under vintern 2005-2006 fick Cardell i uppdrag att uppföra en musikalisk skulptur till det nybyggda biblioteket i Alexandria, Egypten. Skulpturen står placerad i konferenscentrets entré och består av ett fundament i stål, på ovansidan är själva instrumenten placerade d.v.s. gräset som avger ljud – åskådaren kan själv styra skulpturen genom att enkelt vrida på gjutna aluminiumknoppar vilka är placerade på fundamentets sidor. Gräset som symbol är en viktig del av Egyptens liksom vår historia – via papyrus har kunskap nedtecknats, bevarats och förts vidare. Skulpturen heter därför Papyrus. Filmen Papyra som visas på Abandoned Gallery är en film om skulpturens tillkomst på plats i Alexandria. Som betraktare får vi följa Cardells ankomst till Alexandria och hans möten med lokala hantverkare som hjälper honom med att bygga skulpturen. Filmen ger en intressant inblick i en skapelseprocess som för galleribesökaren annars är främmande, samt att man faktiskt ser hur det går till att svetsa, gjuta och tekniskt bygga upp en skulptur med metoder som för oss i Sverige kanske ter sig gammalmodiga. Som betraktare få vi se platser och möta människor som vi förmodligen inte skulle göra som turister.
Varmt välkomna.
Filmens längd är 45 minuter. Filmen börjar kl.13 och loopas fram till kl. 16 ons-fre och till kl. 17 lör-sön.
Jan Cardell är från Göteborg men bor och är verksam som konstnär i Malmö.
