4th - 19th April
Ursula Keller
“The Curtain‘s Edge”
Opening 25th April
A body of work consisting exclusively of mixed media triptych, Ursula has developed a unique 3D process which evolves photographic layers in a translucent medium resin coated to achieve an opaque transparency, her aim is the translation of the concept of Triptych into a contemporary context.
Ursula was a long term collaborator of George Wyllie, most notably coordinating the Berlin end of Wyllie’s Berlin Burd project in 1988.

In typical Wyllie style George didn’t call his making space his “studio” but plainly referred to it as “the basement”
Situated in the undercroft of the family home in Gourock and overflowed into the garden overlooking the Clyde Estuary, as does the Wyllieum.
We titled our community making space “The Upstairs Basement” in tribute.
As well as being a making space, the Upstairs Basement features a rolling exhibition programme.
Further details of our 2026 programme will be announced soon.
