Welcome Package Welcome Stranger Welkomspakket Welcome StrangerWhen a new housing estate was put into use in Amsterdam in 1998, the project ‘Moving In’ was organised in these new houses. Several artists were asked to create a work for these new homes. Jeanne van Heeswijk put together a welcoming package, that consisted of a box of art works and books that she thought might contribute to ‘new living‘. Twenty-five inhabitants received a box personally delivered by Jeanne van Heeswijk and she gave a detailed explanation of the contents. The welcoming package consisted of the catalogue Welcome Stranger by Welcome Stranger, the CD ‘Break. Dance.’ by Jeanne van Heeswijk vs. Jonny Clark, the book Inlet by Karin Arink, the magazine Casco Issues by Casco, the CD ‘Noisy Neighbour Gift’ by Jason Coburn, a subscription to Dinsdaggedichtdag by Engelen & Engelen, ‘Memo’ by Wapke Feenstra, the book Do You Know Mr. Chauvin? by Edwin Janssen, the map of the Randstad by Buro Schie, a photo of Plaza de la Merce by Albert van Westing and 2 b-bekers by Wanders Wonders.1998, Amsterdam |
