Ouvrages de Dames | Ariane Toussaint

‘Ouvrages de Dames' (Ladies' Works) is a solo show featuring a new series of curtains by Ariane Toussaint on the topics of textile crafts and domestic labour. Made of found domestic cloth, they are pieced into patchworks and hand printed with patterns taken from handicrafts books. Thus, by zooming in and enlarging found images of sewing details, the artist explores how a feminist handwriting can be developed, giving importance to hidden narratives that are usually found behind curtains, in the intimacy of our homes.

OPENING FRI.OCT.10 from 17:00
ON VIEW OCT.10-19.2025

Life drawing session | Nice Flaps x Ariane Toussaint

You are warmly invited to the life drawing session inside the exhibition 'Ouvrages de Dames' by Ariane Toussaint. For two hours two models will pose while bathing in the pools of coloured light, acting out a choreography in the space that will contrast the abstract nature of Ariane's textile works.

The drawing session will echo the colour and geometry of the works by allowing the audience to draw it in relation to the human body. It will also help consider themes of privacy, intimacy and vulnerability that occur when thinking about curtains and the naked body.

part 50 (thanks for putting on the feedbag) it is part of an ensemble at See Lab (Sept 1 – Oct 6)

This September and October, the collective it is part of an ensemble takes over the project space at See Lab for a five-week residency. The group transforms the space into a fluid studio for sound, music, drawings, objects, performance and everything in between. With a strong focus on process, collaboration, and experimentation, the project welcomes anyone interested — for a day, a week, or the full duration.

Workshops, shared dinners, beach walks, nocturnal moth expeditions, and experiments with clay instruments and aquaphones are all part of the plan. The space is intentionally low-threshold, especially for those who feel less at home in the traditional art world.

During the residency, the collective has been working on recordings for an upcoming LP at See Lab. How does a collective create a record? How does the freedom of improvisation relate to what is rehearsed? The flirtatious song of the wood pigeon, a visit to a dead room, a stove song, a choir of visitors, an anecdote about ten herons and an onion song — these have all found their way into the process.

We invite you to join us for:

Saturday 4 October, 17:00 – 22:00 Open studio, See Lab, Scheveningen

An evening of layer sessions, jam sessions and listening sessions — moments to share what has emerged and to explore together how a collective voice can take shape.
