Citizens' Tales

On 10 January from 16.00 hrs an opening reception and new year's get-together will take place.

RAM Gallery will start 2010 with a presentation of four works of art made by Jeanne van Heeswijk ( www.jeanneworks.net ) in the past years and that so far have not been exhibited in the Netherlands.
The exhibition will therefore be a topical presentation of the broad and international scope of the artist.

The many art projects of Jeanne van Heeswijk are characterized by her high social awareness and have attracted a great deal of international interested. It is her objective to stimulate and develop cultural production and to create new public (meeting)spaces or transform existing spaces for that purpose. She therefore often cooperates closely with other artists, filmmakers, designers, architects, software developers, residents and entrepreneurs.
Citizens' Tale will be on show from 10 January till 29 February 2010.
