'A defense' an exhibition by Emile Hermans
Greylight Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Emile Hermans titled A Defense. Early 2021, during a sars-cov-2 lockdown, the artist conducted a two-month residency at Greylight Projects and the results of this residency forms the exhibition A Defense.
A Defense is Emile Hermans´ response to the pandemic and how we had to adapt to the world-wide implemented restrictions: lockdowns, face masks, social distancing, etc. The artist says: ¨It made me rethink isolation and its impact on the mind – something I have always been interested in and somehow idealized.¨
The artist has a fascination for bastioned fortifications; beyond their once – assumed – power to protect, their geometry has an aesthetic quality that still endures – especially seen from above, away from the hustle bustle on the ground – despite the ravages of time. These once mighty forts have turned into ruins, remnants have become buried deep into the fabric of a 21st century settlement (Maastricht, for example).
Can we have an aesthetic experience of what’s left of these forts – their abstract geometry – now their original function has been lost to a past? Moreover, can an aesthetic experience of abstract geometry – idealized as symmetry and harmony – offer consolation in times of social isolation and the violation of bodily integrity?
Emile Hermans (1988; www.emilehermans.com) is a Maastricht-based artist. He has a BFA from the Academy of Fine Arts Maastricht (2015) and a MFA from LUCA School of Arts Brussels (2017). He is a member of the collectives Nowhere Collective and Center for Artistic Sensibilities.

The gardener’s function is regeneration by Darcy Neven
The gardener’s function is regeneration is a project and presentation by Darcy Neven in Greylight Projects’ garden. Neven shows an overview of her practice with her mobile greenhouse Het Huis (i.e. The House) as the centerpiece. The title of the project is a reference to Clarissa Pinkola Estés´ Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype.
Darcy Neven has been working on this project since 2012. She walked with her mobile greenhouse from Maastricht to Heerlen where it was shown in Schunck Museum as part of the exhibition ‘in search of Sharawadgi’ around the works of Piet Outdolf.
The mobility of the greenhouse makes it a center to gather stories; Neven´s and other people´s stories. For the artist and eco-feminist, gardening is political as it is a form of radical healing by grounding us in an active life of connecting to and learning from the world at large.
Adjacent to Greylight Projects´ garden, in the canteen, the artist will show documentation of her projects and her ceramics. Darcy Neven will be able to sow seeds to have conversations. For the artist, starting these conversations are ways to inspire people to rethink the food industry.
The presentation is the starting point of her artist-in-residency; during her residency she will work in the garden (a former schoolyard) and in the canteen, where she will turn documentation of her projects and stories into a narrative. The residency will run till the end of the gardening season (i.e. autumn).
The presentation The gardener’s function is regeneration by Darcy Neven is part of the STADEXPO in Heerlen organized by ‘PAND.
Darcy Neven (1991) is a visual artist, writer, gardener, and educator of art and ecology.
