OPENING 14 MAY 18-21 JENNIFER VANDERPOOL

Abandoned Gallery is proud to present Jennifer Vanderpool, Los Angeles, USA.

Vanderpools exhibition Förgylld Trädgård will be a Technicolor, varied media, indoor garden installation that germinates a dialogue between allure and entrapment, seduction and demise. The potential polarizing of ideals and realities will be exemplified both in the form and content of Förgylld Trädgård.

Vanderpool employed a conceptual compost heap of items collected from her past to build the garden. From the heaps of refuse and memory will emerge her topography of flowers made of plastic bags, duct tape, and bubble wrap blooming among bedazzled suspended sculptures that extrude viscous trails laden with glittery treasures and shiny beads. Her playful and vivid compositions serve as pleasant distractions to the daunting realities of wanton consumption. A darker truth lurks in the bushes of this Fool’s Paradise as the piles of discarded remnants threaten to overtake us. However the capacity for renewal lies in transforming the wisdom of our errors into a new mythology.

Vanderpool creates large scale installations that include video, animation, audio, and performative elements. Vanderpool’s working process often explores her heartland roots where she was raised to be a gritty domestic goddess. She now employs her shopping skills to gather food stuffs and landscaping goods to create multifaceted and sometimes meandering installations that comment on domesticity, constructed environments, and pop culture.

Vanderpool has exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States, Mexico, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Her work has been written about in The New York Times, Art Papers, Artweek, Art Ltd., Angeleno, Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Houston Chronicle, Kansas City Star, Tulsa World, Dagens Nyheter, Politiken, and El Universal as well as numerous other national and international publications. She has been awarded two International Artist Grants from the Danish Arts Council, and has also received project funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

“Under 2009 bodde jag i Hanoi, Vietnam, och arbetade då med en serie papperscollage, jag kallar den ’Spirit of Vietnam Series’. Samtidigt verkade det som om jorden höll på att kollapsa omkring mig. Filippinerna slets i bitar och halva Vietnam verkade ligga under vatten. I 40 graders hetta låg dock Hanoi i dvala. 2009 var en av de torraste somrarna på länge, sjön utanför fönstret sinade och människorna blev lättretliga. Det kändes som lugnet före stormen, eller som uppgivenhet när jordens undergång redan är ett faktum. Med dessa tankar och längtan efter frisk grönska och svenska badsjöar drömde jag mig in i mina collage. När jag behövde en paus från att klippa ut färger ur gamla modemagasin eller sträcka på benen hände det ofta att jag filmade ut genom mitt fönster. Det blev filmen ’Hanoi Bay’. En liten film med mål att fånga atmosfären på min gata.”

Ylva Landoff Lindberg, född 1981, bor och arbetar i Stockholm/Hanoi. Hon är utbildad vid Umeå Konsthögskola samt vid Hanoi Fine Arts University. De senaste åren har hennes verk visats på ett flertal olika gallerier och filmfestivaler i och utanför Sverige. 2009 mottog Landoff Lindberg
Konstnärsnämndens Arbetsstipendium.

“During 2009 I lived in Hanoi/Vietnam and there I started working with a series of paper collages. I call them ’spirit of Vietnam Series’. Meanwhile the world around me seemed to collapse, the Philippines’ were torn apart and half of Vietnam appeared to be under water. But Hanoi was more like in a coma/torpor. With a temperature around 40 degrees C, Hanoi lived through one of the driest summers in decades. The lake outside my window dried up and people got peppery. It felt like the calm before the storm or acceptance of despair when the end of the world is already a fact. With these thoughts on my mind while longing for fresh greenery and a Swedish clean lake, I disappeared into my collage. To rest my eyes from cutting out colours from piles of old fashion magazines and stretch my legs, I often filmed the view from the window. That became the video ‘Hanoi Bay’. A short video that tries to catch the atmosphere of my street.”

Ylva Landoff Lindberg, born in 1981, lives and works in Stockholm/Hanoi. She has her degree from Umeå Konsthögskola and Hanoi Fine Arts University. Her works has been exhibited at a number of galleries and film festivals both in and outside of Sweden. In 2009 Landoff Lindberg received the Swedish Arts Grants Committee working grant.
