My first meeting with Michelangelo Pistoletto took place in the timeless setting of an old mill which houses his foundation, Cittadellarte, at Biella. We immediately got into a casual discussion as we visited that old industrial wasteland, where artistic creation nurtures many different projects, educational, social, economic and ecological alike… That was a very special day: the enthusiasm I felt about that approach to art’s role in our society and the desire to share it with as many people as possible fuelled my decision:
I gave carte blanche to the artist for EVENTO 2011.
Since then Bordeaux has become the turf where, surrounded by young curators, Michelangelo Pistoletto has been developing his vision of living together, his contribution to social change centred around a concept: art for an urban re-evolution.
It is bold, it is risky, and it is a novel approach.

EVENTO 2011 will propose an art connected to the present-day state of the world, along with its issues and its hopes. It will also offer its public, in its various forms, works produced as a result of the commitment of international as well as many Bordeaux born and/or based artists, in a powerful participatory dimension.
EVENTO 2011 will delve into our historical, urban, social and cultural roots and help to stimulate and enrich our shared future project.
EVENTO 2011 will experiment, call on us, exercise us and, I hope, bring us together in games where imagination, creativity and pleasure will all be combined with reflection.

This EVENTO will offer a new chance to share and assert the inventive energy of our city and its inhabitants.
It will invite new forms of dialogue for which Bordeaux will be the theatre throughout next October.
I hope that this new look at the city can be embraced by as many people as possible and that it will be received beyond our boundaries like an invitation to everyone to develop their openness to the world, their curiosity and their humanism

Mayor of Bordeaux
First vice-president of the Bordeaux Urban Community

                    [post_content] => This year, the recipient of the third Leonore Annenberg Prize is Jeanne van Heeswijk, who is being recognized for permanently engaging citizens to enact social change within their own communities. Her projects, which have been exhibited in internationally renowned biennials such as Venice, Busan, Taipei, and Shanghai, are realized through her integration into local communities, where she becomes an active citizen, and encourages neighbours and community members to participate in the planning and realization of the project.



The award will be presented at the third annual Creative Time Summit conference in NYU on September 23, 2011. Jeanne van Heeswijk, known for her intensive, long-term commitment to community organizing and social involvement as artistic practice, is the third artist to receive the Annenberg Prize. Previous recipients of the award include the Yes Men (2009) for their ongoing efforts to raise awareness around critical social issues through their media-savvy interventions and Rick Lowe (2010) for his work on Project Row Houses in Houston, which has become a model for the integration of the arts into a neighbourhood infrastructure.

Jeanne van Heeswijk's work is distinguished by her strong social engagement with citizens to enact social change in their own communities. Her practice integrates artists, designers, architects, software developers, governments, and community members in the planning and realization of cultural production, the creation of new public spaces, and the remodelling of existing ones. In particular, she took part in the Blue House project in Amsterdam, where artists from all over the world were invited to interact with inhabitants of the Ijburg neighbourhood. 

"For my practice, becoming part of the community and being part of the whole process of change that a neighbourhood is undergoing is key." said Jeanne van Heeswijk. "And for this you need to create an understanding of public domain as a shared space, where everyone’s contribution makes a difference. I am very honoured by this award for my work, which is the collaborative effort of many people who share the need to work towards a better world in which everyone has a stake."
