As part of European economic and political union, national borders, including those separating Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, were opened, and many border patrol offices were shut down as of January 1993. In the summer of the same year artist Suchan Kinoshita proposed reopening several of these as part of her project Grenspost ('Border Post') (1993). Dutch, Belgian and German artists, musicians, architects and theatre makers developed projects centred round their countries' abandoned border crossings. The premise of this project was based on the actual locations, the artificial concept of a border, the typical architecture of the posts and their obsolete function. Jeanne Van Heeswijk's contribution, Het Bureau (The Office)(1993), consisted of offering Suchan a service, that of her administrative skills in organizing and realizing the entire project. This also involved creating an information booth for press and visitors.
