Emii Alrai: River of Black Stone

January 2025

Emii Alrai’s solo show River of Black Stone is opening soon at Compton Verney, Warwickshire.

Responding to Compton Verney’s nationally important Naples Collection, this new commission by Alrai considers themes of volcanic eruption and geological rupture as metaphors for our times. Through a sequence of darkening rooms that emulate nightscapes and archaeological digs, the artist will dramatise the moment of discovery, just like the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun lit by a single match.

Opening: 15 February – 15 June 2025
