Jeanne van Heeswijk: SYSTEMS gives a first comprehensive overview of 
Jeanne van Heeswijk’s socially engaged artistic practice, and at the 
same time presents models for the design of social spaces as well as 
directions for the analysis of their structures. The first part is 
dedicated to games people play, as rehearsals of social interactions, 
the second part investigates the rooms people inhabit, i.e. the urban 
structures of social cohabitation, which are the external reference 
points of social conditioning, and the third part deals with the 
communities people create as structures of individual, artistic 
positioning. The works, spaces and strategies presented are documented 
through rules and drawings, texts and photographs. Here too, Van 
Heeswijk offers space for alternatives, as anecdotal remarks and 
comments by the participants create a broad collage of possibilities, 
producing insights into a wide-ranging field of experiment. With texts 
by Carlos Basualdo, Marjolein Schaap and Axel Lapp. Design: Anja Lutz

On 17 November 2007 at 5.00 pm, a first presentation of this book will 
take place in the Museum De Paviljoens in Almere, The Netherlands 
(Odeonstraat 3-5, 1325 AL Almere, NL) on the occasion of the opening of 
the exhibition 'At Random? Netwerken en kruisbestuivingen', to which we 
would very much like to invite you.

Jeanne van Heeswijk (*1965) lives and works in Rotterdam and New York. 
She 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 develops 
cultural production and creates new public spaces or remodels existing 
ones. To achieve this, she often works closely with other artists, with 
designers, architects, software developers, authorities and citizens. 
She regularly lectures on urban renewal, participation and cultural 
production, and currently works on the long-term projects ‘The Blue 
House’ in IJburg, Amsterdam. Van Heeswijk was included in the Busan 
Biennale (2006) and the Venice Biennale (2003), and participated in 
numerous shows all over the world.
