Two Rooms,
Annabelle Binnerts
In Two Rooms, the publication is approached as a building in which words serve as pointers to elsewhere. Annabelle Binnerts places her site-specific spatial approach to language ‘back’ onto the page. Two Rooms features two spaces with wall paintings that were made during her residency at De Ateliers specifically for this publication and can only be ‘visited’ by unfolding these two ‘rooms’. ︎︎︎ read more
Arabic is still in my quotidian, yes it is.
Siwar Krai(y)tem
Since moving to the Netherlands, Siwars’ focus on language and multilingualism have been her driving force. In early 2021, she wrote two letters to her mother tongue, Arabic. The diary-like series in this publication responds to those two letters, documenting Siwars’ evolving relationship with the language, mainly as a testament to herself and a way of keeping her promise to the language. ︎︎︎ read more

Wat ik je nog wilde zeggen,
Rianne Zijderveld (ed), studio Dennis Vanderbroeck, Annabelle Binnerts, Dean Bowen, Natalia Papaeva, Vibeke Mascini, Szu-Yi Wang, Diego Tonus, Katarina Petrović, Benzokarim, Department of Speculative Facts, and Maureen Ghazal.
Our social spaces are largely defined by language and linguistic interaction. The language we use and are confronted with can—by being of one kind or the other, through word choice, and by its tone, rhythm, or intensity—coursen or polish, connect or obstruct, create paths or impediments. Language helps us navigate the physical world. It is the substrate on which we tread, whether we realise it or not. ︎︎︎ read more
Het is jij of ik,
Marilou Klapwijk
Het is jij of ik is a search for the irreducible aspect of the other. An amazement at the variety of perspectives. With an archive of images and texts taken from (digital) life, artist Marilou Klapwijk shows us that valuable grey. ︎︎︎ read more

Unformed Informed (Publishing) treats publishing as an active, open-ended process rather than a final product. We approach each project as a space for entanglement, where roles blur, conversations unfold, and meaning is shaped collectively.
Our work moves across stages and formats, inviting artists, readers, and collaborators to step in, respond, and reshape. A publication, for us, is not the end of a line but the beginning of a dialogue. It’s a gesture that cracks things open, makes space, and allows artistic work to keep moving, shifting, and living on.
We publish to continue — not to conclude.
