Riet Wijnen

Riet Wijnen (b. 1988, Venray, the Netherlands) is an Amsterdam-based artist whose practice spans sculpture, photograms, publications, text, and type design. Her work explores incomplete histories of abstraction through research into overlooked artists, thinkers, and cultural figures, often bringing them together in speculative conversations that reconsider the past and imagine new futures. Wijnen is the author of several publications on language and modernism, including Saloua Raouda Choucair, Homophone Dictionary, Grace Crowley, and Marlow Moss. She has exhibited internationally at venues including SculptureCenter, New York; Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam; Casco Art Institute, Utrecht; Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation, Stockholm; and P/////AKT and Lumen Travo, Amsterdam, and teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague.
