jeanne van heeswijk: the faculty of being public

 

"artizen" autumn school keynote address

 

Friday 15/10/2010 GradCAM 15:00

 

Jeanne van Heeswijk (www.jeanneworks.net)is a visual artist who creates contexts for interaction in public spaces. Her projects distinguish themselves through a strong social involvement. With her work, van Heeswijk stimulates and creates new public spaces or remodels existing ones. To achieve this, she often works closely with citizens, artists, designers, architects, software developers and authorities. Recently, she was selected as a finalist for the newly founded International Award for Participatory Art. For extensive documentation of the artist's work and examples of her writing as well visit www.jeanneworks.net

 

This keynote address by one of the most dynamic and critically challenging artists working in Europe today, will be the opening event in the "Artizen" Autumn School facilitated by Blue Drum working in conjunction with a national network of partners.

 

Participation is free, however, places are limited so booking is strongly recommended: email artizen(at)gradcam.ie
