Publication about the experiences gained during the conceptualization, realization and evaluation of the exhibition 'Ik + the Other. Art and the Human Condition', held in 1994 at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam The premise was a context that was not strictly defined by art. The exhibition was to be the result of a co-operation between two institutions that, in a manner of speaking, were unaware of each other's existence: the institution of art (the artists and the exhibition makers) and the Red Cross. With this project, writer, curator and activist Ine Gevers and Van Heeswijk wanted to create a context in which the different positions and discourses would enter into dialogue with one another. The exhibition was based on the following question: 'What is the state of human dignity and humanity in a time dominated by violence, intolerance, xenophobia and even genetic manipulation?' Works by thirty national and international artists, visual and archive material from the Red Cross and the media offered an overview of different ideas and visions on this issue.
