Between 1993-1998 ‘Room with a View’ was a continuing collective project between Jeanne van Heeswijk and various artists. Key interest in the project was the exploration of the boundaries defining the art world.
The definitions of sculpture, performance, theory and text, as well as the difference between art and life were investigated. ‘Room with a View’ is a space consisting of four walls, a door and wheels. As a physical space it surrounded and protected that which takes place within these walls. The room invited, enclosed and excluded. As a conceptual space it was provocative. The room created a place for action. ‘Room with a View’ was an event as well as an invitation to participate: it was a constantly changing space.1993, Rotterdam photography: Bob Goedewaagen |
