Onomatopee: Book launch: March 22 / Renée Ridgway/ The revelation of concealed: Politics (in)form / Wob (Freedom of Information Act) results
Publication, public intervention and exhibition in collaboration with Onomatopee.
The past years Renée Ridgway delved into the archives of Buro Jansen & Janssen, an investigation agency that monitors the police, judiciary and intelligence services using the Wob (The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)) as one of its research tools. She selected various files as readymades of political aesthetics. These A4s are palimpsest —censored texts merging into newly created and visually potent images.
In different locations in greater Eindhoven, advertisement boards in and around the city of Eindhoven were hijacked for two weeks with a Wob image and the announcement for the exhibition opening on January 20,2012 at Onomatopee.
Exhibition: until March 25, 2012 at Onomatopee, Eindhoven, NL
Support: Mondriaan Funds, Buro Jansen & Janssen
