Discover the Wianda Keizer Artist Residency: Creating for the EXODUS Exhibition at Buitenplaats Doornburgh

This page highlights the artist residency of Wianda Keizer, who is creating a new work for the upcoming EXODUS exhibition. Keizer's practice focuses on the material, arranging and repeating elements to create poetic, wordless images that respond to their environment.

Wianda Keizer (born 1969) is featured in a residency where she will develop a new artwork for the EXODUS exhibition, scheduled to be shown at Buitenplaats Doornburgh starting March 2023. Her artistic practice is an ode to the simplicity and strength of materials, creating seemingly calm and sober works through arrangement, ordering, and repetition. Keizer's spatial work is characterized by a poetic atmosphere devoid of words, driven by a search for form, line, beauty, and silence without sentimentality. Keizer draws inspiration from the lines found in nature and architecture, using their layering and structure as guiding principles. She emphasizes that her installations are direct responses to the space they inhabit, reacting to its color, structure, atmosphere, light, and lines, often creating the work on-site. During her residency at Buitenplaats Doornburgh, she will focus her research and new creation on the unique heritage of the former monastery's architecture and the natural environment of the estate.
