FROM THE DEPTHS DEEPLY BURIED - Emma Willemse - 2026
17 July - 30 August 2026 - The Reservoir Gallery, OLIEWENHUIS ART MUSEUM

Solo Exhibition by Emma Willemse - DOWNLOAD - from-the-depths-deeply-buried.pdf

In this solo exhibition Emma Willemse presents works that engage thematically with the site of the exhibition.

The Reservoir Gallery, an underground exhibition space, once used for water storage, houses Willemse`s artist`s books installation, called 101 Ways to Long for a Home, as well as five large-scale suspended installations.

The motif of the boat, explored extensively in both these bodies of works, is part of a continued investigation of the meanings that the boat generates in the context of displacement.
