| Art historian and
journalist. Willems was a conservator at the Stedelijke Musea
Gouda for many years and has been director of the Dordrecht
Visual Arts Centre for the past few years. Together with Maarten
de Kroon, he developed the idea for Dutch Light, researched
the project and co-wrote the script. Willems commutes from
his home in the green heart of the urban sprawl to his office
in Dordrecht, a journey that takes him from one kind of Dutch
light into another. He confirms Mirbeau’s remark that
the real Holland begins around Dordrecht, about ten kilometres
north of Breda, but, he adds, we mustn’t forget Zeeland. |
