Jesse van Epenhuijsen (1997) is a conceptual artist living and working in Rotterdam. He dwells within the domain of public space, working with spatial installations, performance, and text. Often, he finds himself in and around urban sites—situations where traces of human intervention are visible. He investigates what kind of influence they have with a highly sensitive approach. By giving care and attention to the places he inhabits for extended periods of time, he reconfigures architectural elements he finds in public space.

By highlighting specific elements and weaving them into works of art that sketch non-fictional spatial narratives, he, in his own words, tries to show us an invisible network of urban infrastructure, change, and affection.

His work was showcased in Goes, Kattendijke, through the KunstpodiumT MasterApprentice programme, has been nominated for the Jan Naaijkens Prize, exhibited in Groningen with nomadic art initiative Het Resort, exhibited at Gallery De Bouwput, a self-initiated exhibition together with Hanna-Lee Daled, Sjors Smit, and Puck Kroon, and recently performed at PIPexpo Den Haag that resulted in a collaboration with Fenna Koot. His work has been supported by the Mondriaan Fund, Stichting Droom & Daad, and the AFK (Amsterdamse Fonds voor de Kunsten) in Amsterdam.
