Room with a view (Annex) Room with a view (Dependance)KunstRAI 1994. The Flatland Galerie had reserved a stand for Jeanne van Heeswijk, which she decided not to take. Instead, she placed the ‘Room’ in the entrance hall of the KunstRAI, where she hung works from the collection of the Flatland Galerie. The ‘Room’ contained works by a/o Erwin Olaf, Korrie Besems, A.M. Kopper, Bob Negrijn and Bea Visser. A desk with on it a vase of flowers, a typewriter, a radio and piles of paper was put in the’ Room‘. Just like in a normal gallery there were price lists and the opportunity for the interested audience to acquire works. Behind the desk Mrs de la Plume sat, a stand-in gallerist, played by Anke van der Pluijm. She played the part of an actress playing the role of a stand-in gallerist. Her script consisted of tens of preconceived one-liners that she could use as she saw fit from behind her desk as conversation with the stream of visitors. The responses from the visitors were recorded and later adapted for a play with the title: ‘A conversation on an Art Fair‘.1994, Amsterdam |
