10161055: A group exhibition with diez gallery

Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann lives and works in Paris. Her artistic practice is based on the development of a project-based method. Her research is part of an intersectional feminist approach that crosses psychology and constructed environments, focusing on forms of emancipation and empowerment as much as on structures of conditioning and alienation. Badaut Haussmann works in sculpture, installation, image, text, video and sound, with the exhibition as her main medium, and her approach systematically contextual and situated. Drawing on her specific knowledge of cinema, literature, architecture and design, she explores these disciplines as social and political expressions, injecting these references into her artistic devices, demonstrating the interdisciplinarity and transversality at play in the approach to her projects. She has recently had solo exhibitions at La Salle de Bains, Lyon; BOZAR, Brussels; and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham. Her work has recently been presented in group exhibitions in BOZAR, Frac des Pays de la Loire, Palais de Tokyo, Musée d'art contemporain de la Haute-Vienne, and MRAC, among others. 

Simnikiwe Buhlungu  (Johannesburg, South Africa, 1995) lives and works in Amsterdam. She has an interest in navigating personal and socio-historical narratives presents itself as a complex web of [re] imagined engagements which are surrounding, but not exclusive to, experiences embedded within the complexity of knowledge production(s) - which are (un)written, (un)spoken, (un)heard and made (in)visible. Through this, her practice begins to develop into moments that pose questions and attempt to provide answers to these ideas. The work has existed in a variety of forms — text, print, video, sonic negotiations and installation in a number of exhibitions, happenings and spaces. She also engages with printed material and publications, their production and dissemination — in conversation with her practice. She has recently had solo exhibitions at Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam; Chisenhale Gallery, London; KIT–Kunst im Tunnel, Düsseldorf; and Kunsthalle Bern.  Her work has recently been presented in group exhibitions in Nottingham Contemporary, De Appel, Association for Visuals Arts Gallery, Cape Town, and Van Abbemuseum. She participated in the 26th Bienal de São Paulo in 2025 and in the Venice Biennale in 2022. 

 

Sands Murray-Wassink (1974, Topeka, Kansas) is a painter, writer, body artist and perfume collector based in Amsterdam. A long-overlooked cult figure in the city's art scene, his work spans decades, touching on themes of gender, desire, intimacy, mental health and self-exploration. Sands has long existed in a space between institutional visibility and secluded phases of production, continuously developing his own framework for making and sharing work. Since 2016, he has mainly focused on what he calls Horse Drawings. These drawings, while sometimes devoid of actual horse imagery, all bear the same title and embody the spirit of equine grace, symbolising a personal journey towards healing. Sands' engagement with this motif ties together the broader themes in his practice: gender fluidity, mental health, feminism and the transformative potential of art.

Ian Waelder (1993, Madrid) lives and works in Frankfurt am Main and Mallorca.

Jessica Wilson (1991, New York City) lives and works in Amsterdam and New York. Wilson's practice moves between computer animation, sculpture, and assemblage, turning everyday infrastructure into instruments of ambiguity. Working with light signaling, electrical outlets, and repurposed objects, she probes the line between sensation and perception, the virtual and the physical, attending to the ambient forces that shape states of alarm, care, and disquiet. Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include: Petrine, Paris; diez, Amsterdam; The Photographer's Gallery, London; a solo presentation with Kai Matsumiya at Liste Art Fair, Basel; the New Museum, New York; and Page (NYC), New York.
