Room with a view (Private) Room with a view (Private)In 1993 the ‘Room’ was set up in Jeanne van Heeswijk‘s studio and covered with diary-like illustrations, drawings and objects that could be cause for a conversation. Twenty-five people, including artists, curators and critics from her circle of friends, came to exchange thoughts with Van Heeswijk on ‘public and private spaces’ and to examine the concept of the ‘Room‘. These conversations were not recorded or documented. The only tangible remainder of ‘Private’ is a poster with the text: ‘Private faces in public places are wiser and nicer than public faces in private places.‘1993, Amsterdam, Rotterdam Photography: Bob Goedewaagen |
