'Can we take that serious' on the role that art can play in urban renewal

With her projects visual artist Jeanne van 
Heeswijk moves between the various levels of 
inhabitants, designers, but also commissioners. 
And although people think these projects are 
interesting, nice and also important, there is 
always the question 'can we take that seriously'? 
A question that mainly comes up if the 
responsibility of the person or organization is 
at stake.

With this question Van Heeswijk directly touches 
the role a visual artist can play in the often 
strongly directed process of urban renewal and 
revitalization. In her lecture at the Netherlands 
Architecture Institute she will go into this role 
by using recent and ongoing projects like 'The 
Blue House' and 'Face Your World' as a practical 
example.

Jeanne van Heeswijk (1965) is a visual artist. 
Her projects distinct themselves through a strong 
social involvement. Van Heeswijk stimulates and 
develops cultural production and creates new 
public (meeting-)spaces or remodel existing ones. 
She often works closely together with artists, 
designers, architects, software developers, 
governments and inhabitants.
