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. Her work was included in group shows at Punt WG, Amsterdam; Soldes, Los Angeles; The Fulcrum Press, Los Angeles; Public Gallery, London; Central Fine, Miami; Nahmad Contemporary, New York; and Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Riga.
Wilson was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, between 2023 and 2025. Her animations have screened at the ICA, London, as part of the Frieze x ICA Artists' Film Programme; the Eye Filmmuseum, Amsterdam; KM28, Berlin; and the International Film Festival Rotterdam. In the coming months, her work will be on view at Punt WG, Amsterdam, and Frieze, London.
