WEINER WALL 7.30 PM: Hans den Hartog Jager in conversation with Hadassah Emmerich ‘WAX DIPPED NEON’ ‐Location Marble Hall/Gerhard Hofland Gallery /entrance Bilderdijkstraat 165‐B, Amsterdam Hadassah Emmerich, ‘Wax Dipped Neon’ 2015
Much of the practice of Hadassah Emmerich(1974) could be considered ‘expanded painting’: she works with acrylics and oil on canvas, pray‐paint on walls, linocuts, drawing, and more; often combining and collaging. For the past decade, Hadassah Emmerich has developed an extensive, experimental painting practice with room for site‐specific encounters. She has been strongly preoccupied with representations of ‘the exotic, and approaches this complex issue through a mixture of references to (art) history, pop‐culture and an interest in psycho‐analysis, which she translates and renders into a personal signature style.
Hadassah Emmerich has created a mural in the reception hall of the Housing & Working Building Tetterode in Amsterdam. She has done so in imitation of the American artist Lawrence Weiner, who created an artwork on the same wall two decades ago.
