Purpose
With this project Onomatopee objectifies to unveil the poetic domain in the presentation of visual art: what exactly is poetic in the art on display, how can this be envisioned and experienced and how can one bring this out to the public? These are the questions we put forth to the selected three poets to be realized within their guest role as curator.
Within the field of visual art presentation, through museums, presentation spaces and galleries we encounter a growing tendency towards heteronymous roles: the PR employee, the curator and artists, to name a few key figures, tend to blur their roles. They all interfere in each other’s work, as nowadays everyone seems to tolerate it when interfering with another's work. And this is justified on behalf of the project since, when art, as is often been said, really revolves around poetry, then it's pure logic is to envision this poetical domain!
A Task for Poetry is a concept of and is managed by Freek Lomme, freelance curator and writer.

Warren Neidich,
Lost between the extensivity/
intensivity Exchange
+ the Neuroaesthetic Library
Organized within the framework of 'Images and imagination, The construction and reception of a visual object' a co-production between De Overslag and Onomatopee.
What are the possibilities for an exchange between the cognitive and the visual domain? Presentation space De Overslag and production label Onomatopee both invited an artist/thinker to represent their world. De Overslag presents the Belgian artist Yoann Van Parys, Onomatopee presents the Berlin based US artist Warren Neidich.
On Neidich's work:
today's Economic Crisis is the result of attempting to use theoretical apparatti and techniques developed to administer the conditions of an extensive economic, political, social and psychological order to comprehend and fix an intensive distribution for which they were not adapted. The multiplicitous, interconnected networks of our now emerging global context in which the real abstraction is more real then the real, can only by corrected with the use of instruments conjugated according to its different logics.
