Onomatopee 73: Research Project
The revelation of the concealed
Politics (in)form: Freedom of Information
Act results
By Renée Ridgway
Freedom has its limitations. While a visual culture of revealing liberties is in the forefront, concealed images barely draw any public interest: simply because their subject is hidden and their existence is non-existent in the public eye. But who is concerned with the ‘redaction’ of concealed documents and why is this so important? Since 1980 anyone in the Netherlands can request disclosure of information and documents controlled by the government institutions with the WOB (The Freedom of Information Act, (FOIA). The WOB makes public access possible to government records, archives and documents, in the form of paper records; not all files are digitalized [removed];
Artist Renée Ridgway searched the archives of Buro Jansen & Janssen, an investigation agency that critically follows the police, judiciary and intelligence services and uses the WOB as one of its research tools. Taking a critical stance on governmental policies and actions, Ridgway selected various files to be turned into readymades of political aesthetics. These A4s are palimpsest, remnant texts merging into newly created and visually poetic [removed];
This project pragmatically explores the actual conduct of these redacted documents. In diverse reflections, Freek Lomme, Renée Ridgway and Simon Ferdinando trace the capacity and relevance of this artistic turnover whilst Rick van Amersfoort of Buro Jansen & Janssen positions the practical implications of the [removed];
To uncover the politics involved in communication requires a game of hide and seek. The revelation of concealed data might very well both acknowledge and extend our understanding of rights and wrongs, leading us to an image of the political. As a counterpart to this power, this display allows a possibility to not only reveal the concealed but to reaccess its implications.

Spatial narratives with a purifying effect
By Jeroen Doorenweerd
motionless, the giraffe in the open country overseeing the panorama … or is it a meerkat, cheeky and sneaky, spying on something that is emerging from the grass… this exhibition brings together recent works by spatial narrator Jeroen Doorenweerd and offers you the opportunity to enter into a travelogue of field arrangements – observing the contemporary adventures that we endure in nature and culture, and fulfilled by those potential experiences. As the coordinates on our compass point us in set directions, we can pick up the binoculars and undergo the purifying effects that the scene can have on our vision. Curator: Freek Lomme
Editors: Freek Lomme and Jeroen Doorenweerd
Graphic design publication: Ingo Oszkinat
