Jiska Huizing (b. 1991) is a Dutch artist living and working in Oslo, Norway.
Their artistic practice is a reflection on the world’s coexisting realities; how everything is relative and in constant change. Working with media such as sound, photography, artist books, text and guided walks, they create work that contains a sense of searching and of wandering, and that questions how we perceive our surroundings. Huizing’s projects are often developed over a longer time and interconnect through an interest in how we create systems and structures in order to reach a level of understanding, while inherently containing certain instability as well.
Their current research focuses on forest gardens and how we orient ourselves.
Recent projects include Tiden bretter seg, a commissioned sound work as part of Marie Nerland’s exhibition Theia at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Bergen (2024), Particular Universal, group show curated by nyMusikk at Nitja senter for samtidskunst (2024), Sporene, a text in the Wetland Pavilion’s field book (2024) and Decennial Dialogues, a group exhibition at Academy Minerva, Groningen (NL) (2023).
Other work experiences in the cultural field include: producer for The Wetland Pavilion (long-term artistic studies of the Østensjøvann area in Oslo) (2022-now), editorial work for The Wetland Pavilion’s field book (2024), board member for the Young Artist Society (UKS) (2020-now), and part of UKS’ Climate working group since 2022, held a workshop on sound map making (2023) and made a series of 3 video-tutorials on microphones for Nuts & Bolts (2022).
