For her installation at Art Au Centre, she departs from a very common item: the key ring (le porte-clés). Yet, this seemingly banal object attracted Amber’s attention, in the ways in which it is personalized and made recognizable by their owner: the key ring becomes a token of singularity, a personal carrier of memories in constant motion. Her installation at Art Au Centre brings together a new ensemble of works, collected as key rings of absurd and playful dimensions. Their oversized dimensions make them unhandy to carry—or perhaps they are key chains to the city. Thanks to the artist's recontextualisation, the pieces gain both physical and emotional presence when displayed in a vitrine. This is at the core of Amber’s practice: to find the tension between memories, collecting and remembering what constitutes our identities. How do everyday objects carry and translate emotions, feelings of belonging and personal narratives?

Chapter 3NOV.28. - FEB.28.2026WITH WORKS BY Alonso Cedillo ON VIEWNOV.28. - FEB.28.2026Fri-Sat: 13:00-18:00Mon-Thu by appointmentPUBLIC PROGRAMArtist Teach w/ Alonso CedilloScreening Home Cinema — see www.thebalconythehague.com The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NL Alonso Cedillo (b.1988, Mexico) works across painting, sculpture, video, printmaking, and programming. His work explores how digital interactions—through social media, VR, screenshots, and leaked files—reflect the economic and social impact of the Internet. By highlighting human labor-generated data, the economic axis of the 21st century's economics, his work connects with the Extractive Imagination(s) cycle.For Slow Drift(s) Chapter 3, Cedillo will present The Awkward Truth, a series of videos exploring conspiracy theories in the internet age. The project examines how these narratives serve as frameworks to explain complex events, offering clarity in a chaotic world. Using documentary aesthetics, it blurs the line between entertainment and belief. For the first time in Slow Drift(s), we will expand the video art format by incorporating paintings by Cedillo, who often draws on his classical painting training to inform his digital practice with a formal awareness and pictorial approach towards glitchy and low-definition images. — text by Abril Cisneros recently in Leuven <img width="1152" height="1728" width_o="1152" height_o="1728"

Leuven with works by Qiao Chu Guo, Asma Laajimi, Carole Louis en Niel de Vriespart of Fringe FestivalON VIEWNOV.20—DEC.06.2025Thu-Sat: 13:00 - 18:00Cas-co is brin­ging together four artists to exhi­bit for the very first time in Leuven. Drifting Waters is a visu­al, nar­ra­ti­ve and at times fic­ti­o­nal wan­de­ring in the phy­si­cal and digi­tal realm. From cros­sing seas and oceans, to rivers and streams, the exhi­bi­ti­on brid­ges the digi­tal exu­be­ran­ce of dating apps, the flow of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with rela­ti­ves, and the fee­ling of belon­ging away from&nbsp;home. Drifting is both a metap­hor and a&nbsp;lived experience The artists in this exhi­bi­ti­on explo­re the dua­li­ty bet­ween the diso­rien­ting fee­ling of pathfin­ding, migra­ting, and see­ding roots. The sto­ries you will encoun­ter are embo­died cur­rents of water and streams of data: how tales and know­led­ge flow bet­ween spi­rits, how inti­ma­cy is medi­a­ted across dis­tant geo­grap­hies, and how rivers are moni­to­red and estran­ged from tho­se who once lived along its shores. → more info here recently in The Hague <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa6da872e445f2e8cc5bea3479a4e34dd9c260dd2cba0c1df2d00cee9bca7774/_BVB1675.jpg" data-mid="238447716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa6da872e445f2e8cc5bea3479a4e34dd9c260dd2cba0c1df2d00cee9bca7774/_BVB1675.jpg" /> <img width="1467" height="979" width_o="1467" height_o="979" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2c7eb4a7c4d4da376a86060ea1df1013fae10b642dd83a13842dba4e1a641fe/_BVB1644.jpg" data-mid="238447714" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2c7eb4a7c4d4da376a86060ea1df1013fae10b642dd83a13842dba4e1a641fe/_BVB1644.jpg" /> <img width="1467" height="979" width_o="1467" height_o="979" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2dcb29c0714bab24cb14d3343f2d9918b312126eb87ada44c7f07e5af47266a2/_BVB1653.jpg" data-mid="238447715" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2dcb29c0714bab24cb14d3343f2d9918b312126eb87ada44c7f07e5af47266a2/_BVB1653.jpg" /> <img width="1467" height="979" width_o="1467" height_o="979" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/09d8b82027410499497afa14b26ad71b162d4b76c1c59ec72054e24d4758c06b/_BVB1780-2.jpg" data-mid="238447720" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/09d8b82027410499497afa14b26ad71b162d4b76c1c59ec72054e24d4758c06b/_BVB1780-2.jpg" /> <img width="979" height="1467" width_o="979" height_o="1467" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb453d7ef55015a009d3ceae375476121d6afeb180f46ca01790866334806d3e/_BVB1692.jpg" data-mid="238447717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/979/i/bb453d7ef55015a009d3ceae375476121d6afeb180f46ca01790866334806d3e/_BVB1692.jpg" /> <img width="979" height="1467" width_o="979" height_o="1467" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58cd601e7e25f50e82198d0f6deeaf167c8fe3232548e38c2554551582f0ac3a/_BVB1857.jpg" data-mid="238447722" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/979/i/58cd601e7e25f50e82198d0f6deeaf167c8fe3232548e38c2554551582f0ac3a/_BVB1857.jpg" /> <img width="738" height="1063" width_o="738" height_o="1063" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/283ca16a328893bf8c4b1157bd502c4e895b4a46a26cfbe636fdfe2a2a88ae75/_BVB1822-copie.jpg" data-mid="238447721" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/738/i/283ca16a328893bf8c4b1157bd502c4e895b4a46a26cfbe636fdfe2a2a88ae75/_BVB1822-copie.jpg" /> <img width="979" height="1467" width_o="979" height_o="1467" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e4b6b938e1b3a5e6f7c9c3fba52ad2baeb0c51d9dbbec3e4a419cbb5e06d829/_BVB1723.jpg" data-mid="238447719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/979/i/4e4b6b938e1b3a5e6f7c9c3fba52ad2baeb0c51d9dbbec3e4a419cbb5e06d829/_BVB1723.jpg" /> <img width="1467" height="979" width_o="1467" height_o="979" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/046d206ea597f550014d5667b4a11c50d366cb2f1450626d4971f3e88236675a/_BVB1704.jpg" data-mid="238447718" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/046d206ea597f550014d5667b4a11c50d366cb2f1450626d4971f3e88236675a/_BVB1704.jpg" /> *&nbsp;The Perfect Loaf Extractive Imagination(s): Chapter 2 with works by Clémentine Vaultier, Ciel Grommen &amp; Maximiliaan Royakkers (Atlas of Ovens), Bernd &amp; Hilla Becher and Arjun Das.part of The Balcony’s new cycle of exhibitions, ON VIEWJUN.20—SEP.27.2025Fri-Sat: 13:00 - 18:00Mon-Thu by appointmentPUBLIC PROGRAMFRI.JUL.18Vreugdevuur Scheveningen.

In other words, how did the harvesting of resources related to our quest for heat (initially wood, peat and coal) shaped social gatherings and the domestic space?“The search for warmth created social and political forms of grouping, like vigils in the countryside: a characteristic element of traditional rural life, is well motivated by the search for warmth, as well as by the desire to 'enjoy a lamp, or fire maintained at common costs'. – Philippe Rahm.” The exhibition includes the production of new work by Clémentine Vaultier, Ciel Grommen &amp; Maximiliaan Royakkers (Atlas of Ovens), existing work by Arjun Das, and original prints by Bernd &amp; Hilla Becher.How and what do we extract to fire? More importantly, with whom do we share the resulting warmth?

Since the advent of sedentary Western civilizations, communities have transformed matter into assets through systems of extraction—harvesting crops, sifting soil, and distilling water. The speed and visibility of extraction contrast with the slowness and subtlety of its exhaust — that which is left behind, consumed and deemed useless within productive logics. The upcoming exhibitions explore extraction and consumption as intertwined processes.How does the harnessing of energy relate to cultural production? How to produce without extracting? The inaugural chapter, Pied-à-Terre, Harnessing Energy, features new &amp; recent works by Elsa Brès, Adele Dipasquale, and Pedro A.H. Paixão.We look forward to Elsa and Pedro’s first exhibitions in The Netherlands. The Balcony is also excited and pleased to present new work by Adele Dipasquale. The exhibition is supported by Stroom Den Haag, the Mondriaan Fonds, Nieuwe Instituut, and SBAE.&nbsp;The Balcony is co-curated in conversation with Valentino Russo, Mari Kolcheva, Abril Cisneros and Ariane Toussaint. <img width="1535" height="1078" width_o="1535" height_o="1078" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e58f20f7f3083d4992fc221764fd4ff9ea9c4aadc2ae578c3ccddd6ec5d14ed/1-copia.jpg" data-mid="233134270" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6e58f20f7f3083d4992fc221764fd4ff9ea9c4aadc2ae578c3ccddd6ec5d14ed/1-copia.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="2304" width_o="3456" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa843ee8ac0ce98700aa908de14372589f01bdcc1792940794c218b14510103b/DSCF1585.JPG" data-mid="233132192" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa843ee8ac0ce98700aa908de14372589f01bdcc1792940794c218b14510103b/DSCF1585.JPG" /> <img width="3456" height="2304" width_o="3456" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1bd9dc7dddbbba42cc65e926cba1a4b5afe78c6c005a2f7bb4e2e6565d419b5e/DSCF1589.JPG" data-mid="233132193" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1bd9dc7dddbbba42cc65e926cba1a4b5afe78c6c005a2f7bb4e2e6565d419b5e/DSCF1589.JPG" /> <img width="3456" height="2304" width_o="3456" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d27c98f08c99cb0e3f64a84f492e8d0761d82b84985622790d44af39140e54c/DSCF1590.JPG" data-mid="233132194" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d27c98f08c99cb0e3f64a84f492e8d0761d82b84985622790d44af39140e54c/DSCF1590.JPG" /> <img width="3456" height="2304" width_o="3456" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d31df7f167e9937c3f463dc1578c841897db40bd9bca364b897e994234e67049/DSCF1597.JPG" data-mid="233132195" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d31df7f167e9937c3f463dc1578c841897db40bd9bca364b897e994234e67049/DSCF1597.JPG" /> <img width="2304" height="3456" width_o="2304" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a03de59ef5e343b0c2ab868da335244f6c7ebeabacfe68d4e61f24f30a0792c1/DSCF1608.JPG" data-mid="233132197" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a03de59ef5e343b0c2ab868da335244f6c7ebeabacfe68d4e61f24f30a0792c1/DSCF1608.JPG" /> <img width="2304" height="3456" width_o="2304" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a21398069715795612052562c7750a39cc90846af4ec3eccf5239eaac2226d19/DSCF1613.JPG" data-mid="233132198" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a21398069715795612052562c7750a39cc90846af4ec3eccf5239eaac2226d19/DSCF1613.JPG" /> <img width="1535" height="1009" width_o="1535" height_o="1009" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6532bce2f8f0488fd3c36f042dc0e16b89e00e3285826a4031a180b15dd12f4e/2.jpg" data-mid="233134271" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6532bce2f8f0488fd3c36f042dc0e16b89e00e3285826a4031a180b15dd12f4e/2.jpg" /> <img width="1535" height="2301" width_o="1535" height_o="2301" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/28c04d2fb4af3ddb736c765b1b59b6fe56797bd512e0ba799e9fcbb4679a643e/3.jpg" data-mid="233134272" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/28c04d2fb4af3ddb736c765b1b59b6fe56797bd512e0ba799e9fcbb4679a643e/3.jpg" /> <img width="1535" height="2301" width_o="1535" height_o="2301" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45094d695896d51e0fcbd58a622cb79c88e34ffc3ce21f27d38494b4c9c90f64/4.jpg" data-mid="233134273" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45094d695896d51e0fcbd58a622cb79c88e34ffc3ce21f27d38494b4c9c90f64/4.jpg" /> <img width="1535" height="1025" width_o="1535" height_o="1025" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c55f0658ae9a9ece4cb0702bc2dc0de2286f8ab7ef05402a254ae363aad1fd6/5.jpg" data-mid="233134274" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c55f0658ae9a9ece4cb0702bc2dc0de2286f8ab7ef05402a254ae363aad1fd6/5.jpg" /> * The Balcony at Art Rotterdam — Intersections &nbsp; &nbsp; with works by Adele Dipasquale, Vaultier, Grommen and Royakkers (Atlas of Ovens) and Arjun Das part of The Balcony’s new cycle of exhibitionsMAR.27—30.2025 Art Rotterdam—IntersectionsOPENING / ON VIEWBy invitation MAR.27 11:00–21.00MAR.28–30. 11:00–19.00 Rotterdam Ahoy.

We agree. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; « Bullet-point paintings » From the 19th century onwards, western nations have built more monuments than ever before, often at the expense of others. Monuments which in turn served as a narrative of national myth-making flooded with self-proclaimed splendor, and feasts of engineering. Left aside the monumentalised understanding of cultural nationalism, affective nationalism seems to be a much more suitable route in understanding Joseph’s take on Brussels’ Atomium. The suggestion of affective nationalism is to oppose a masculinist reading and disembodied framing of national projects, in opposition to a much more subtle, humbling, and generative reading of felt experiences [...]”.

The exhibition's title is a play on the 19th-century book 'Generelle Morphologie der Organismen' ('General Morphology of Organisms') by German zoologist Ernst Haeckel. Known as a speculator among his peers, he often ventured to use the same physical laws to explain both the organic and the inorganic. Echoing his aim to account for interrelation, the artists in this chapter highlight the obsolete character of positioning nature as an autonomous entity in human development, while articulating how clinging to this binary distinction generates a feeling of absurdity in light of the proliferation of artificial landscapes and ultra-controlled natural cycles. How to entertain the illusion of ‘virgin nature’ after capital’s unstoppable expansion into what was once out of its reach? Through works that challenge the conventions of genres typically associated with faithful representations of reality, these artists transform urban areas organised by neoliberal structures—where such dissonances manifest most intensely—into sites of inquiry. ︎link to the documentation <img width="1843" height="1229" width_o="1843" height_o="1229" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d23a79d808190c1eb175b658725a775cf966bbf414491d103791bfb5b65a106d/SoniaMangiapaneAAC08-copie.jpg" data-mid="221419912" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d23a79d808190c1eb175b658725a775cf966bbf414491d103791bfb5b65a106d/SoniaMangiapaneAAC08-copie.jpg" /> <img width="1843" height="1229" width_o="1843" height_o="1229" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6af1efb6a6a64b3507d43ac7d6e358917fa3e5cb40f22d93677bc6e0d30b7112/SoniaMangiapaneAAC44-copie.jpg" data-mid="221419917" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6af1efb6a6a64b3507d43ac7d6e358917fa3e5cb40f22d93677bc6e0d30b7112/SoniaMangiapaneAAC44-copie.jpg" /> <img width="1843" height="1229" width_o="1843" height_o="1229" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f7defbcab1753ed3c51d07445061dd40113be17cbe342374f9aaac3d36b1f99/SoniaMangiapaneAAC16-copie.jpg" data-mid="221419914" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f7defbcab1753ed3c51d07445061dd40113be17cbe342374f9aaac3d36b1f99/SoniaMangiapaneAAC16-copie.jpg" /> * Ambient, Aberrant with work by Sonia Mangiapane (Melbourne, AU)05.10 – 31.12.2023 Art Au Centre #13, Rue des Carmes 7Bexhibition route in the city centre of Liège BE Sonia Mangiapane is a photomedia artist working with processes defined primarily by their interaction with light, as opposed to the exclusive use of the camera. Employing a range of camera-based and cameraless methods her practice takes the form of photographic prints and hybrid works on paper. She explores concepts relating to travel, Nature and notions of photographic time. Sonia's artistic interests are multi-layered; her approach discursive, process-oriented and experimental. The colour darkroom is a core site of her practice. It’s a space in which she makes, rather than takes a photograph; pushing the boundaries of the photographic by undertaking conceptual and technical approaches which diverge from the photographic snapshot. In the context of Art Au Centre, Sonia presents Ambient, Aberrant which calls into question the authenticity of the image, of Nature, of any mediated experience. It starts from the premise that the photographic gaze and the tourist gaze emerged at the same time (around 1840) and have been inextricably linked ever since. The landscape is a representation of the idea of nature; yet it is tamed, domesticated, managed. There is no nature here. The work speaks about the artifice of sightseeing, chasing the sublime, our relationship to Nature (or what we think it is). It comments on the way we experience places through our (phone) cameras. In the vitrine, a series of prints were selected from Sonia’s extensive lirbary of images. Displayed in broad daylight, the print will slowly fade throught the duration of the exhibition. The images become memories. ︎link to the exhibition <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c6fc1f547d816894e35086160bea47b0f6b0e633248f84e39a1d476edcbcd50/322b3eb4-5c7b-451a-9e11-eab4c5ebd484.JPG" data-mid="182528083" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c6fc1f547d816894e35086160bea47b0f6b0e633248f84e39a1d476edcbcd50/322b3eb4-5c7b-451a-9e11-eab4c5ebd484.JPG" /> <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/74632f321fcaa438bcf774d6403a55250ce72639badaf64a11ac3bba81a58a95/2da30743-e8a6-4d9f-9a9c-81dab417e0f4.JPG" data-mid="182528081" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/74632f321fcaa438bcf774d6403a55250ce72639badaf64a11ac3bba81a58a95/2da30743-e8a6-4d9f-9a9c-81dab417e0f4.JPG" /> * Foxglove with work by Tom Putman08.06 – 31.08.2023 Art Au Centre #12, Rue de la Cathédrale 100exhibition route in the city centre of Liège BE Tom Putman studies, decomposes then re-composes objects taken from his everyday environment. His sculptures are often merging mass-produced objects with medieval looking craftsmanship. These objects and compositions convey an anachronic sense of widely available consumables, mostly colorful plastics, sometimes charming, other times odd. Tom manufactures them using digital techniques such as laser cutting, CNC milling and 3D printing. The sculpture Foxglove refers to protection and defense. The lantern and its spikes symbolize the walls that protected cities during the Middle Ages. Inside the lantern hides foxgloves (also known as digitalis), a colorful plant known for its medical but also poisonous properties. These are among the ideas sustaining Tom Putman’s practice, to be simultaneously attractive by the use of colors and familiar materials, but also historically grounded and surprising by the juxtaposition of references. Tom Putman (1994) studied Fine Art at AKI ArtEZ Enschede, The Netherlands and currently lives in Utrecht. ︎link to the exhibition <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000"

Rinus Van de Velde, Alexis Gautier and Harriet Rose Morley part of The Promise of Ruin(s), co-curated with Valentino Russo.MAY.26. – JUL.29.2023 The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NL &nbsp; &nbsp; aboutThe exhibition Fully Worktioning binds the idea of working with that of being functional, functioning as a member of society at large and as a realised individual, who navigates the myth of the self-made in the late capitalist landscape. In this particular case the exhibition looks at the brutality of labor involved in running a studio practice, and also the collaborative involvments of a solo-called individual practice.The Balcony is curated by Arthur Cordier and Valentino Russo. The title originates from a conversation with graphic designer Soma Wonglamdab. ︎link to the documentation <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b635b68e67c8dfe1124c08aa05d840065b0d1fb01ed78746d7cc01f6ebdf793/the-balcony-1.jpg" data-mid="173992028" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b635b68e67c8dfe1124c08aa05d840065b0d1fb01ed78746d7cc01f6ebdf793/the-balcony-1.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/979604e7737f009999df3b37a22efcffcb9f6eb29c8a78836b464819a0a0e12c/the-balcony-2.jpg" data-mid="173992029" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/979604e7737f009999df3b37a22efcffcb9f6eb29c8a78836b464819a0a0e12c/the-balcony-2.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6655a5d163293778c7187887aebca4d3812b0ab9e5c10e7a90d0cbc0fefeae3b/the-balcony-3.jpg" data-mid="173992030" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6655a5d163293778c7187887aebca4d3812b0ab9e5c10e7a90d0cbc0fefeae3b/the-balcony-3.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1e6cf10eca56af1155db3e3bd322247d571a0a089d647843290d7feb79460ae/the-balcony-4.jpg" data-mid="173992031" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1e6cf10eca56af1155db3e3bd322247d571a0a089d647843290d7feb79460ae/the-balcony-4.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/add58541c01c81539df628cd35fe33a956bd5e190fa0d45bbe7814ef8993b570/the-balcony-5.jpg" data-mid="173992032" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/add58541c01c81539df628cd35fe33a956bd5e190fa0d45bbe7814ef8993b570/the-balcony-5.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/324c00e5758b21ac6f9a0d784ee803285697cd3173fd89dc6631e81190268dd8/the-balcony-6.jpg" data-mid="173992033" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/324c00e5758b21ac6f9a0d784ee803285697cd3173fd89dc6631e81190268dd8/the-balcony-6.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ffae42f38df8eec07ec49339abbf44a5fe3dd7304e1fd93e19fdbf270829bfcf/the-balcony-7.jpg" data-mid="173992034" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ffae42f38df8eec07ec49339abbf44a5fe3dd7304e1fd93e19fdbf270829bfcf/the-balcony-7.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/728bf46cfae91006c2a4b5afb089ab9ca40fb6953b72891f47436b3a1645735a/the-balcony-8-mb.mg.jpg" data-mid="173992036" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/728bf46cfae91006c2a4b5afb089ab9ca40fb6953b72891f47436b3a1645735a/the-balcony-8-mb.mg.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6f81a378622c5627a27c9dbd7a3a99c9924321f49a2804071d7385bae373241/the-balcony-9-mb.mg.jpg" data-mid="173992037" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6f81a378622c5627a27c9dbd7a3a99c9924321f49a2804071d7385bae373241/the-balcony-9-mb.mg.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/321597365882a230a180a9b12f70058b4f5cdb80cf0b29091d4449b19910f090/the-balcony-10.jpg" data-mid="173992038" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/321597365882a230a180a9b12f70058b4f5cdb80cf0b29091d4449b19910f090/the-balcony-10.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d99b41e7922bf632160977509993c7744cf45bf20465f1e4de40a45415641348/the-balcony-11.jpg" data-mid="173992039" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d99b41e7922bf632160977509993c7744cf45bf20465f1e4de40a45415641348/the-balcony-11.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f89a19d66d02069f883ed23904a3015feb64a431543e01aa2ae1aecc83b4831e/BenMorrison-15.jpg" data-mid="173992099" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f89a19d66d02069f883ed23904a3015feb64a431543e01aa2ae1aecc83b4831e/BenMorrison-15.jpg" /> * Chapter 4: The Insincere charm of things with works by Marcel Broodthaers, Louis Randaxhe and Aline Bouvy, part of The Promise of Ruin(s), co-curated with Valentino Russo and Philippe Braem.10.03 – 06.05.2023 The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NL &nbsp; &nbsp; aboutWith this exhibition the attention shifts on to the contemporary ruin, in which artistic labor and (often) fictional art-historical artifacts blend. Marcel Broodthaers’ (1924-1976) well-documented historical shift from being a poet to working as a visual artist, greatly inspired fellow artists. In 1968, Broodthaers announced that he was no longer an artist and appointed himself director of his own museum, which he first called Musée d’Art Moderne, Département des Aigles. The invitations that he realized together with graphic designer Corneille Hannoset for his first gallery exhibition highlighted the aspects of negotiation that are inherent to artistic labor. Together with works by Louis Randaxhe and Aline Bouvy, the art-historical representations in the exhibition allude to a magical, mystic realm, where worldly things are seemingly eternal.&nbsp; But as the ravages of time make their way through the surface, that frozen moment of eternity begins to appear more and more opaque. The exhibition is curated by Arthur Cordier and Valentino Russo, in collaboration with Philippe Braem. Supported by Art Au Centre, Liège, The Mondrian Funds and Stroom Den Haag. ︎link to the documentation <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/179ad7edc43be2a21e8b2dc67d1f3c58a7062104756699d3aca4a5e1f0874654/DSC07126.jpg" data-mid="171631372" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/179ad7edc43be2a21e8b2dc67d1f3c58a7062104756699d3aca4a5e1f0874654/DSC07126.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32948fc074ffad1ecdf00742fadba8256a9c1636782f6fedd990138c7310fb55/AAC11-flaviu-cacoveanu.jpg" data-mid="171629809" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32948fc074ffad1ecdf00742fadba8256a9c1636782f6fedd990138c7310fb55/AAC11-flaviu-cacoveanu.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="1920" width_o="1280" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e30c52f66c57e557275cf46e15b9511eca40586ff50116e16b8f4133a34765c3/DSC07122.jpg" data-mid="171631371" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e30c52f66c57e557275cf46e15b9511eca40586ff50116e16b8f4133a34765c3/DSC07122.jpg" /> * NOTIFICATIONS with work by Flaviu Cacoveanu 02.02 –&nbsp;30.04.2023 Art Au Centre #11, Place des Déportés 5exhibition route in the city centre of Liège BE Flaviu Cacoveanu se présente comme étant un artiste Con&amp;Temporaire. À travers sa pratique interdisciplinaire, ses œuvres se développent aux confins de la pho-tographie, de la vidéo, de l’installation et des interventions performatives. Sa pratique artistique est une promenade dans notre quotidien, le plus souvent dans nos espaces urbains. Grâce à des observations à première vue nonchalantes, mais pointues et remplies d’humour, l’artiste met en lumière les traces laissées par des habitants discrets de la ville, souvent des insectes ou des détritus qui brossent un portrait de l’artiste – comme un reflet de son environnement. Flaviu Cacoveanu puise souvent son inspiration dans son téléphone portable qu’il décrit comme un téléphone d’artiste : un espace où il prend des notes et gribouille des idées. Ses œuvres sont distinctives et intuitives. L’artiste se sert du langage et joue avec les mots et les situations pour faire de ses idées formelles et conceptuelles une (auto)critique de l’état actuel de notre monde. Les œuvres de Flaviu Cacoveanu ont récemment été exposées à la Parliament Gallery de Paris, à la Ivan Gallery de Bucarest et à la Biennale Art Encounters 2021 de Timisoara. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b7b7b742d5b3ad2a8d03ba0ac975590574f9fc919415ae706cba5ac9814e2cf/thebalcony_dust_lowres-54.jpg" data-mid="171718696" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b7b7b742d5b3ad2a8d03ba0ac975590574f9fc919415ae706cba5ac9814e2cf/thebalcony_dust_lowres-54.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/189eee77dcc43f5930b0295acd3aa605ddaeb5516413f1eedc403c3d179d1e3b/thebalcony_dust_lowres-2.jpg" data-mid="171718690" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/189eee77dcc43f5930b0295acd3aa605ddaeb5516413f1eedc403c3d179d1e3b/thebalcony_dust_lowres-2.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/591641d24f2c6cc8244ef1ef505e1c3c13b4b9356125f8cd0166b21d4156a0e1/thebalcony_dust_lowres-3.jpg" data-mid="171718691" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/591641d24f2c6cc8244ef1ef505e1c3c13b4b9356125f8cd0166b21d4156a0e1/thebalcony_dust_lowres-3.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67ce920aecfc7a7025ee0f6b55998269b6fea7d5ee344bfe5ae6f8adfb45ff48/thebalcony_dust_lowres-9.jpg" data-mid="171718694" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67ce920aecfc7a7025ee0f6b55998269b6fea7d5ee344bfe5ae6f8adfb45ff48/thebalcony_dust_lowres-9.jpg" /> <img width="3936" height="2624" width_o="3936" height_o="2624" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56c7e9abcb75d408e0ba5c829f3d8d5a5cbeeb670b8d479cef06317499808c85/thebalcony_dust_lowres-6.jpg" data-mid="171718693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56c7e9abcb75d408e0ba5c829f3d8d5a5cbeeb670b8d479cef06317499808c85/thebalcony_dust_lowres-6.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cfac77d11841699ba2901d1af79b8eef600040f9050b9cfc15a3078c6af2fa84/thebalcony_dust_lowres-4.jpg" data-mid="171718692" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cfac77d11841699ba2901d1af79b8eef600040f9050b9cfc15a3078c6af2fa84/thebalcony_dust_lowres-4.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dab08600a5ec9b1bbe055a5f1e44cf3bd32af1aba5badc78a1040d0d1129b410/thebalcony_dust_lowres-45.jpg" data-mid="171718695" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dab08600a5ec9b1bbe055a5f1e44cf3bd32af1aba5badc78a1040d0d1129b410/thebalcony_dust_lowres-45.jpg" /> * Chapter 3: From Dust till Dawn with works by Frank Halmans, Wouter Huis and Daisy Madden-Wells.part of The Promise of Ruin(s), co-curated with Valentino Russo.25.11.2022 – 25.02.2023 The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NL With the third chapter of The Balcony’s inaugural program The Promise of Ruin(s), the attention shifts on the domestic space that, far from being a safe place, is not exempt from the grip of capitalism. From vacuum cleaners to vinyl players, kitsch and decorations are a mirror of ourselves and our identity, free subjects in the free market. To quote Richard Hamilton: “Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?”Dust is often seen as dirt, an unwanted sign of passing time, a contamination of boredom and decay upon the world of the living. In the words of cultural historian Celeste Olalquiaga:“Dust is the most tangible aspect of the new historical time, a thin patina of shattered moments remaining after the frenzy of multiplication has subsided or moved away.”Walter Benjamin, in his writing Dream Kitsch (1927) associates vanished dreams with the colourless state of dust covering forgotten objects. Dust is the added value of time upon matter, where “faded dreams and touch intersect”. Boekenkaststofzuiger &amp; Burned clock IV&nbsp;by Frank HalmansIn his work Frank Halmans (NL, 1963) often examines the domestic world and sees a home as a place where life oscillates between a public and a private sphere. Frank examines how we as humans inhabit these two different areas. In his recent body of works – that he wishes to further develop at The Balcony – the vacuum cleaners are usable by visitors. Dust accumulates inside the work, while keeping the exhibition space seemingly spotless. Knowing that dust in homes is composed of about 20-50% dead skin-cells, is the dust we produce and ultimately discard a reflection of our identity, the places we live in?Untitled, setting, 2022. Part of 'Due to maintenance activities, these rooms are temporarily closed'&nbsp;by Wouter Huis&nbsp;Wouter Huis (NL, 1974) shifts the limits and scope of mental and architectural space, the borders of private and public space, the real and the fictive; he delves into the elusiveness of almost-invisible ‘random’ details, such as the ambiguity of decaying exhibitions, spaces standing-still.&nbsp; In the exhibition Wouter presents a vinyl whose track has no sound recorded, and while the stylus keeps running on the vinyl’s microgroove, in loop, it collects dust which produces very specific sound effects. For the duration of the exhibition the record thus plays the sound of collected dust. The space of the space. The needle sound-cracks over the dusted vinyl compose the soundtrack of the work: a crescendo of particles to hear over the coming weeks.Sparks Fly &amp; The Heavenly Fight Cloud&nbsp;by Daisy Madden-WellsDaisy Madden-Wells (UK, IE, 1922) works with objects and ornaments that have been elected over millennia as representatives of hopes, dreams, wishes and status. Her research explores the Paganistic worship of idols, Agamben’s theory of the profane, kitsch as a site of class warfare and the genealogy of the lion as a heraldic pin-up of choice. It is surprising how the artist’s work fits in this exhibition. In fact, dust and kitsch are closely related, as introduced earlier. Working classes excel in the art of displaying architectural ornaments, often mass-produced, as an homage to handcraftship. For the exhibition’s new work, Daisy Madden-Wells explores window coverings, net curtains and nicknacks, the archetypes of kitsch in homes of a certain age. Facsimiles of aspirations gathering dust, hiding things slightly, peeping out from under or behind. These elements become an extension of her previous stained glass works but always more kitsch, transient and slightly melancholic. ︎link to the documentation 2022 <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99f3c395fff61a22448833a426329147d901c2804e7886adb50c1e5ad337bc22/35_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719217" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/99f3c395fff61a22448833a426329147d901c2804e7886adb50c1e5ad337bc22/35_exhibition-view.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2629b238d38a70a95e2bf30d3e6192f72fc89294251f772c14c1c87b5575ff29/2_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719184" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2629b238d38a70a95e2bf30d3e6192f72fc89294251f772c14c1c87b5575ff29/2_exhibition-view.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1310" width_o="2000" height_o="1310" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7512c7638f424c3419449949e69c96c883e864af0696e5107ed52f342956337/3_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719185" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7512c7638f424c3419449949e69c96c883e864af0696e5107ed52f342956337/3_exhibition-view.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e109f21490bd095015274a4d5ecd37f57768fcc78f027808a55b86c90f18265d/4_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e109f21490bd095015274a4d5ecd37f57768fcc78f027808a55b86c90f18265d/4_exhibition-view.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca2f71a66e78cb29078ce619b65cd5dbf8740a3b6bd4b8bd8b9974a26c31bfe9/6_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719187" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca2f71a66e78cb29078ce619b65cd5dbf8740a3b6bd4b8bd8b9974a26c31bfe9/6_exhibition-view.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9571e0e0b3fc6d78a22d512eb408971bc72802d5f07e466abb4417c1028778d6/10_Lina-Viste-Grnli_Pan.jpg" data-mid="171719188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9571e0e0b3fc6d78a22d512eb408971bc72802d5f07e466abb4417c1028778d6/10_Lina-Viste-Grnli_Pan.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2b060b6e455e30ecf9d3466dcc3d53af5a31614fa7547aa45305841d67dd739/13_Lina-Viste-Grnli_Fig.-V.jpg" data-mid="171719189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2b060b6e455e30ecf9d3466dcc3d53af5a31614fa7547aa45305841d67dd739/13_Lina-Viste-Grnli_Fig.-V.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bddde790ff357190822f7f2878edd90c20ba1069403162fc024939e2c1e6c115/18_Finn-Reinbothe_Untitled-The-Seven.jpg" data-mid="171719190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bddde790ff357190822f7f2878edd90c20ba1069403162fc024939e2c1e6c115/18_Finn-Reinbothe_Untitled-The-Seven.jpg" /> <img width="1333" height="2000" width_o="1333" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb07cbe85904d25a63f30990ab2b983e3092a83fbb43855f36aa72a15e37aca8/23_Runo-B.jpg" data-mid="171719213" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb07cbe85904d25a63f30990ab2b983e3092a83fbb43855f36aa72a15e37aca8/23_Runo-B.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dbcad065e00c4580bf3fc86de4aab4a9e5d3ec9b0a65172f7a1d11f10b6b1501/32_exhibition-view.jpg" data-mid="171719215" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dbcad065e00c4580bf3fc86de4aab4a9e5d3ec9b0a65172f7a1d11f10b6b1501/32_exhibition-view.jpg" /> * Portals: The Loading with works by Lina Viste Grønli, Finn Reinbothe, Runo B, Tom Bachtell and Jia Jia Zhang. Curated by Theodor Præst Nymark Jensen, Sofus Keiding Agger. Supported by The Balcony.23.09 – 30.10.2022 “The Loading” tackles the aesthetic treatment of history and information. In an era of continuous streams of voices floating through media, information keeps dissolving itself and blurs the historical lines of authenticity. Whilst loading the ship that carries us around the globe as tourists on the internet, we dive into the many shades of information floating in the landscape we live in.The exhibition at The Balcony is part of the cycle “Portals”, initiated by the Copenhagen-based collective Salon75 in collaboration with a selection of artist-run platforms across Europe; among which Berlínskej Model, Prague; GOMO, Vienna &amp; Heit, Berlin.Following the invitation to exhibit at Salon75 in July, The Balcony gave carte blanche to the Danish collective to curate an exhibition in The Hague. For The Balcony, this collaboration continues the series of exchanges initiated last year with SEA Foundation, Tilburg, which took place in September 2021. ︎link to the documentation 2022 <img

Joséphine Kaeppelin &amp; Vincent Knopper,part of The Promise of Ruin(s), co-curated with Valentino Russo07.05 – 16.07.2022 The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NLThe second chapter of The Promise of Ruin(s) looks at how artistic labour fits within the realm of the economic functioning of society in which case the multiplicity of identities is a strategy for artistic freedom, opportunities and sometimes economical self-defence. The overlaps between leisure and labour are topics that run through our program and this exhibition in particular.&nbsp; Both Joséphine Kaeppelin and Vincent Knopper alternately describe themselves as makers, builders, renovators, service providers, designers, [...] ultimately as artists. This peculiar twist helps to acknowledge the variety of skills involved in ones practice: technical as well as organizational, craftmanship and entrepreneurial spirit. The multiplicity of identities is a strategy for artistic freedom, opportunities and sometimes economical self-defence. The intersection between these works shines upon the commodification of the living, the nurturing of automatisation and the necessity for observation. The overlaps between disincarnated office work, technical knowledge and artistic labour are topics that run through our program and this exhibition in particular. The work by Liam Gillick, as a sticker, already embodies the potential of a subversive action in urban space. Sticker-bombing as an act of opposition to the establishment, in between juvenile vandalism and a more conscious political critique. Then, an apparently simple question such as that of its title, effectively summarises the research at the core of Joséphine and Vincent’s practices, in which production becomes a way to establish power relations, social order and control, that the artists intend to hijack. Gillick’s work ranges from small books to large-scale architectural collaborations. His practice exists in a constant tension between his formally minimalistic works and his critical approach through writing and the use of text, questioning the role that art may play in society.PATRONS &amp; Microsoft Word drawings&nbsp;by Joséphine Kaeppelin &nbsp;PATRONS is an artist edition consisting of 13 work clothing which patterns are designed from documents that the artist consulted at the National Archives of the World of Work in 2019 in Roubaix (FR). Inventories of factory equipment, meetings report, books of demands, letters, handwritten notes, corporate magazines, positions’ descriptions, surveys, brochures and communication campaigns. During her investigation in the archive center, joséphine collected the ways of saying what one does, paying particular attention to the words of women. The A3 drawings are made with Microsoft Word. Joséphine hijacks the initial function of the software. No files are kept. She works with the characteristics of the word processing tool : combining signs, tables, graphical elements, and choosing precisely the print settings. Each drawing results in several prints as several drawing gestures. By drawing this way, she acts within and against a standardized system that is this software. Joséphine Kaeppelin is an artist and intellectual and graphic service provider - a status she self-assigned in 2017. This figure of provider allows her to go on the field and act in certain contexts (company or institution). She carries out missions whose main objective is to heckle the minds. During these missions, she collects ways of saying, gestures, signs and words composing the raw material of the objects she creates in response to a situation. She lives and works in Heerlen (NL). One-Pot-System&nbsp;by Vincent Knopper&nbsp;Vincent Knopper presents two new sculptures under the umbrella-title 'One-Pot-System'. The title originates from a lacquer-type which is invented by commercially-driven crafts. In Dutch the lacquer is also known as 'doorwerklak', which literally translates into 'keep-on-working-lacquer'. These types of commercialised and standardised materials and their turbo-qualities become methodologies for Knopper to make his works. In the two sculptures in the exhibition Knopper combines these materials and techniques until they become counter-efficient, in order to question their effectiveness. For example, in one of the works Knopper approaches drying times of different lacquers as a timeframe for the production of the sculpture. Vincent Knopper is a visual artist and he lives and works in Amsterdam. He describes himself as an arthandler, artist, carpenter, designer, furniture maker, handy-man, painter, renovator, sculptor, woodworker. Through these descriptions he aims to articulate the similar yet distinctive faces of making, use of materials, references and labour that represent the core of his practice. ︎link to the documentation 2021-22 <img width="3555" height="2593" width_o="3555" height_o="2593" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/93bc2a67ba12cc69032572e978671e8cd213004e6e3c01ddb54571283cc22ece/DSC02061-2.jpg" data-mid="173992848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/93bc2a67ba12cc69032572e978671e8cd213004e6e3c01ddb54571283cc22ece/DSC02061-2.jpg" /> <img width="5690" height="4000" width_o="5690" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b8502e0197f9b493c848ea70a686bf911095309b4c0cb996a862cb20ea54071f/DSC02025.jpg" data-mid="173992847" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b8502e0197f9b493c848ea70a686bf911095309b4c0cb996a862cb20ea54071f/DSC02025.jpg" /> <img width="2624" height="3936" width_o="2624" height_o="3936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0907a250629584de724794af6e8a17724a750aea882fe9e9108120ca39e9770e/DSC02063-2.jpg" data-mid="173992849" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0907a250629584de724794af6e8a17724a750aea882fe9e9108120ca39e9770e/DSC02063-2.jpg" /> <img width="2604" height="3934" width_o="2604" height_o="3934" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef626dd59c4353ccb139ddb5e092560af81e1f62d9cd7cd155f31661634ef90a/DSC02459.jpg" data-mid="173992850" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef626dd59c4353ccb139ddb5e092560af81e1f62d9cd7cd155f31661634ef90a/DSC02459.jpg" /> <img width="3935" height="2586" width_o="3935" height_o="2586" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fed528c27492aca1a9dc73dc955725fb68e32c121e33311cd302ca5c98a329e/DSC02475.jpg" data-mid="173992851" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fed528c27492aca1a9dc73dc955725fb68e32c121e33311cd302ca5c98a329e/DSC02475.jpg" /> <img width="2624" height="3936" width_o="2624" height_o="3936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa86e4f1d4892a9e7437774504f518d711bf85a67ba6f90d5c0cb000603cc070/DSC02503.jpg" data-mid="173992852" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa86e4f1d4892a9e7437774504f518d711bf85a67ba6f90d5c0cb000603cc070/DSC02503.jpg" /> <img width="5894" height="3913" width_o="5894" height_o="3913" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3225f7d3e30ed4cc7147b1409845c408563f4b579af7258d7a5f563a440cc6e3/DSC02555.jpg" data-mid="173992853" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3225f7d3e30ed4cc7147b1409845c408563f4b579af7258d7a5f563a440cc6e3/DSC02555.jpg" /> * Chapter 1: Parasites of the Imaginary with works by Minsook Kang, Martha Rosler and Eva Pel, part of The Promise of Ruin(s), co-curated with Valentino Russo18.12.2021 – 20.03.2022 The Balcony, nieuwe molstraat 14-A2, The Hague NL ‘Parasites of the Imaginary’ is the first chapter of the program titled The Promise of Ruin(s). It reflects on how the current economic system permeates our everyday actions in such tenacious and subtle, parasitic modalities Minsook Kang is an artist based in South Korea and The Netherlands. Her practice looks at how capitalism focuses on producing, selling and efficiently discarding. Consumption is all about speed and functionality, whereas Minsook’s practice is all about care, nurturing and slow paced displacement.In her work titled The Christmas Trees Project I: The Christmas Trees Island (2016-2018), Minsook Kang undertook to save discarded Christmas trees for two years. In the process, she was wandering in search of a safe place to replant her trees, and eventually she replanted them on an undisclosed island. At The Balcony she presents ‘The Christmas Trees Project II’ (2021-ongoing). The exhibition starts with a screenshot from Google Maps of the island where the trees were transplanted in 2017.Then, she will rescue trees that are discarded as soon as the new year starts. The Balcony will become a temporary shelter to rescue trees and, at the same time, her (in)visible everyday gestures will be actively shared with the audience. Afterwards, the trees will be moved to a new location, and a new intervention will take place in the exhibition space.Eva Pel is an artist living and working in Amsterdam and educated as human geographer and artistic researcher. Her work shifts between political engagement and subtle mediation. She employs her interest in how social behaviour is affected and changed in our everyday life, a life that is influenced by our shared space, digital and physical.The work by Eva Pel looks into the relation between e-commerce and the rapid disappearance of small shops in city centers. The combination of large-scale shopping malls and online shopping is greatly affecting local shop owners. Houses are being demolished and inhabitants expropriated. Communal structures fall apart. Through these observations, Pel develops a series of boxes inspired by online stores such as Amazon, Bol.com, Zalando, Coolblue or Hema. The boxes, made of wood, are highly accurate hand-painted replicas. At first sight the delivery boxes look similar to disposable cardboard packages. Yet from close-up they are the product, to be kept instead of disposed.Martha Rosler was born in Brooklyn, New York, where she lives and works. Articulated with deadpan wit, Rosler's video works investigate how socioeconomic realities and political ideologies dominate ordinary life.In these three early Super-8 films Rosler reflects on the relationship between labor and leisure. Set in the arch-American "home movie" context of a sunny suburban yard, ‘Backyard Economy I’ and ‘Backyard Economy II’ document the mundane activities of a woman going about her domestic chores. Quietly depicting this figure in the tasks of mowing and watering the grass, hanging laundry to dry, and keeping her son company, Rosler points up the labor that allows leisure, and interrogates the "economy" that creates her role. In the film ‘Flower Fields’, Rosler creates a color field painting from the vivid flower-growing fields along Highway 5 in California, which provide a living for the many, most undocumented, workers in the area. ︎link to the documentation https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/EDITIONS Wed, 09 Feb 2022 13:39:02 +0000 Arthur Cordier https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/EDITIONS <img width="997" height="1295" width_o="997" height_o="1295" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1114969bcce0e202594d626eb4c882b4af3933363fb37d9ff040d5cecc808ed0/_DSC0721-crop.png" data-mid="132968697" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/997/i/1114969bcce0e202594d626eb4c882b4af3933363fb37d9ff040d5cecc808ed0/_DSC0721-crop.png" /> FREE COFFEE** NO SMARTPHONE FOR ETERNITYDigital print, MC Silk 250 g/m2, &nbsp; vinyl sticker, signed &amp;&nbsp;framed,60 x 80 cm.Edition of 40 + 5 AP. ︎Order for 220€&nbsp;&nbsp; produced by IKOB Museum of Contemporary Art, Eupen (BE). 2022 <img width="2535" height="3509" width_o="2535" height_o="3509" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f9609257423ccc6fa82f7dee8a8e43a52477fe60ae112757ea84ad2b90d4ade7/Scan-9.jpeg" data-mid="167463891" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f9609257423ccc6fa82f7dee8a8e43a52477fe60ae112757ea84ad2b90d4ade7/Scan-9.jpeg" /><img width="2535" height="3509" width_o="2535" height_o="3509" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94c95541014bf0ff364cc666a8ed737aa266f7ba0c07c979ce683f4a4ff5d181/Scan-2.jpg" data-mid="167463888" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94c95541014bf0ff364cc666a8ed737aa266f7ba0c07c979ce683f4a4ff5d181/Scan-2.jpg" /> <img width="3509" height="2535" width_o="3509" height_o="2535" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baf0b4225accde88f5bdbef81e1b211e7b4da4836c7a006c0e31ba42529d4d55/Scan-1.jpg" data-mid="167463886" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/baf0b4225accde88f5bdbef81e1b211e7b4da4836c7a006c0e31ba42529d4d55/Scan-1.jpg" /> carte de visite (been there done that) engraved door handle, aluminum 20 x 15 cm, includes installation key Edition of 10 + 2 AP ︎ Price on request&nbsp; 2022 <img width="3264" height="4896" width_o="3264" height_o="4896" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a6bdcb2d7bce5c313a318f30b9afcf431238b09dbcbf2c63ae8bbc33658e67b/The-Foot-in-the-Door---Flag-1.jpg" data-mid="132969584" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a6bdcb2d7bce5c313a318f30b9afcf431238b09dbcbf2c63ae8bbc33658e67b/The-Foot-in-the-Door---Flag-1.jpg" /><img width="3264" height="4896" width_o="3264" height_o="4896" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f0571b3656ce8bf150113b1f812039f0caf4f32301eb7a7c9d61de87f7f9882b/The-Foot-in-the-Door---Flag-3.jpg" data-mid="132969586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f0571b3656ce8bf150113b1f812039f0caf4f32301eb7a7c9d61de87f7f9882b/The-Foot-in-the-Door---Flag-3.jpg" /> The-foot-in-the-doorDigital print, flag150 x 200 cm.Edition of 2 + 1 AP. ︎ Price on request produced by Greylight Projects, Heerlen (NL). 2021 https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/TEXTS-ACCORDION Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:51:03 +0000 Arthur Cordier https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/TEXTS-ACCORDION &nbsp; &nbsp; I think of a fallen billboard as a tree in a forest, as complementary opposites from which ideas sprout. My favourite works contain these opposites of growth and death, birth and expiry. My position has been to look at commercial bodies, communication networks and their management under the scope of labour, efficiency and decay. I came to the understanding that advertising and commercial structures contain within themselves and, despite spasms of liveliness, their own potential end. Decay isn’t opposed to growth. Growth is both a botanical term and an economical conception of the future, as something expectations are built upon. Compost is both growth and decay; it produces heat and nutrients. Entropy.&nbsp; [refresh &amp; click to open] texts by Alicja Melzacka, And Yet a Trace of the True Self Exists in the False Self2023 &nbsp; &nbsp; And Yet a Trace of the True Self Exists in the False Self&nbsp; At the end of the evening the end of the evening, conversations intensify, as if trying to cover all the ground before time runs out. There is a general sense of feverish urgency and excitement. ‘LAATSTE ROOONDE’— the bartender’s call cuts the air thick with breaths and beers. Conversations turn apocalyptic, and we take the apocalypse out onto the streets. We’ve been told it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. But since we’re already living in the near-extinction future, I guess at some point imagination must make room for experience. At least that’s what my friend says, ‘wegbier’ in his hand, as we continue our drunkard’s walk. ‘THE RISE OF THE CREATIVE CLASS’ always already sounded like the name of a zombie film. We should have known better. Some years ago, I would be writing this text nestled up on a second-hand sofa in one of the oddball hipster cafés cropping up across my neighbourhood. Now, I’m wrapped up in a blanket and hunched over a desk at my overpriced and under-heated studio apartment. There’s been so much talk about speculative futures amongst artists and institutions. Is there not enough speculation in our undead cities? ‘HAITI’s HOMELESS GET TARPS, WANT TENTS.’ After smokestacks and pit heads, billboards became new monuments to industrial obsolescence. Wedged in the landscape, those lonesome brutes obstruct the flow of time and divert currency streams. Billboards hollering ‘YOUR AD HERE’ to anyone who cares to look up. Billboards, disappearing into the landscape. Billboards enacting the vengeance. ‘BILLBOARD CRUSHES CAR, INJURES TWO’. Tarp, tar, trickle, turquoise. This is the end of the world of advertising as we know it. Advertising has now become fully internalised. It is no longer an extension but a structural part of digital and subliminal infrastructures. Living in a city used to be like living with permanent tinnitus; we had to learn to ignore the surrounding visual noise. Now, I live in an ad-free part of town, where its own carefully cultivated image, distributed across social networks, has become its most efficient advertisement. I experience a pinch of nostalgia and a tangy feel in my mouth when passing by the only postered blind wall in this part of town. Faded posters are peeling off, revealing traces of information starved for attention. Someone is leaning against the wall, holding up a cardboard sign that reads ‘EXHIBITION TEXTS ARE SPONSORED CONTENT—CHANGE MY MIND’. What comes after the attention economy? Are we all going to become prosumers, in an autophagic manner consuming only our own content? I’ve always preferred to look at works in their context, from the distance of a second remove, I tell Arthur the other day, after we both confess how challenging it is to put in words our opinions — no, feelings — on painting. Each time he sees a painting he likes, Arthur says, he has this distinct taste on his tongue… ‘Tangy?’ I inquire. While I enjoy lingering on their surfaces, appreciating the interplay of abstract and figurative elements, it is the ostentatious materiality of Arthur’s paintings — ‘synthetic’, ‘sticky’, ‘weathered’ — that speaks most urgently to me. What does it say? It says something about the processes of production and distribution of the work, the histories of the stuff that makes it up, set against the backdrop of extractive, logistic, and financial operations that simultaneously implode the globe and lash it together. It is a hauntological, palimpsestic kind of materiality: used truck tarpaulin reads like a road novel of the cargo’s journey; layers of shoe shine and ink lure the eye inwards; here and there, adhesive vinyl is peeling off, revealing traces of information. The silhouettes of plants in Arthur’s paintings hark back to their fossilised forefathers whose juices nourished the synthetic composite they are made from. They make me think of the cycles of material transformation, of decay and renewal, not only in the physical sense but also in terms of the materials’ circulation across different mental domains that we neatly divide from one another in order to make sense of the extractive world order; the domains we call ‘nature’ or ‘industry’ or ‘culture’. And they are, in fact, a kind of fossil —of the past work, referring back to the project ‘Kunst-planten’, during which Arthur loaned office plants from various advertising agencies to be cultivated in an exhibition space. In line with a managerial optimisation tactic, office plants can increase workers’ productivity. Let’s assume for a moment that their displacement incites a minimal decrease in the productivity of the advertising agencies, triggering a chain reaction. THE FLAPPING OF A PLANT’S LEAVES IN THE HAGUE SETS OFF A STOCK MARKET CRASH IN SHENZEN. Last round, round, circle, cycle, loop. Talking with Arthur, I have to think of various semi-circular motions within his work; how they appear to feed back, folding onto themselves. Yet, with every transformation cycle, something is lost, some degree of entropy takes place, and we arrive at another place. I think after some time spent exploring circular formations, we are both interested in taking this logic of entropy, seepage, and derailing a step further. Incorporating it into a work, a text that doesn’t perfectly loop, that leaves something out, something obscure, something to be questioned or desired. ‘LAATSTE ROOONDE’ — the bartender’s call cuts the air thick with breaths and beers. And yet a trace of the true self &nbsp;Exists in the False Self. Oct.2023. In the context of Laatste Ronde, at Trixie The Hague. Kipras Kaukėnas, Autoroutes Sauvages 2023 &nbsp; &nbsp; Autoroutes Sauvages Maybe we made ourselves blind voluntarily. Perhaps there is always something lurking behind the forgotten and ignored. For how could, from the pitch-black darkness, come so much light and life; from tar so much energy that eventually it could implode the world from within and tear it to pieces? How can verdant and luscious greenery vegetate in the soil of gloomiest shades and that same greenery turn into a putrefying stench of compost? How can so much richness hide in the dullest nooks of the world? To tell you the truth, I always found green and black an odd couple.An oddness not unlike that of people eating fries with ice cream. But I nonetheless thought that there is something freakishly satisfying in dissonance, in queerness, in peculiarities, in strange relations. Whether in couples or colors, whenever we encounter disorder, we may find a glimpse of unintentional harmony. Shouldn’t we say that entropy is harmonious, then? In its own offbeat way, I mean. For ages beauty was associated with harmony and order. But I doubt we ever truly considered how beautiful disarray can be, for we always sought shelter from chaos, or it seems to me. Just look how desperately we try to keep everything neat. Trash must be picked, sick people must be separated from the healthy, prisoners kept in their cells. Maybe now things are slowly becoming different. Maybe now we are brave enough to see beyond the orderly and pristine arrangements. Maybe we are coming to realize that there is more to filth than we think? But I get it, harmony is contentment; It’s suiting. We judge our time spent observing an ordered universe as time well spent. Isn’t it a vicious cycle? Now it becomes crystal-clear to me why we call imposed harmony by the name of beauty. But is that all there is to beauty? Doesn’t harmony pacify conflicts, establish an illusion of order, make one relaxed, and produce dream-like languor. Isn’t it merely a cop-out? Yet, as a rebellious youth, I’m fonder of dazzling confusion, of vertigoes, of frivolous play, of futile squandering of my precious energy. I like to daydream and drown in my reveries and spend my energy constructing irrational narratives and absurd scenarios. My mind and body are more inclined towards the incongruous and unfamiliar; my heart expands more when an array of clouds overwhelms the horizon than when I discern an elephant’s tusk or a pig’s snout in a lonely cloud’s shape. I enjoy when imposed order crumbles. For instance when you witness a pile of garbage stacked near a container or a mountain of rubble left near the construction site in an otherwise sanitary city. I adore microwaves or washing machines thrown on the sidewalk by carefree and light-hearted anonymous spirits. I secretly love those who litter and justify it by stating that without their littering janitors would be out of job. You can crucify me for my honesty, call me an ignorant and foolish person, but I stand firm by my statements. For me these are instances that remind me of another world where obsession with accumulation, control, and order doesn’t reign over us. <img width="1292" height="1622" width_o="1292" height_o="1622" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42d6d174961ffad58e9638bdaae8ff62d331b4f2f20bdcebe19c31f386e608ef/2023-9-AC.jpg" data-mid="236099307" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42d6d174961ffad58e9638bdaae8ff62d331b4f2f20bdcebe19c31f386e608ef/2023-9-AC.jpg" /> Le jour du goudron, Arthur Cordier heavy duty PVC and vinyl on aluminum stretchersSometimes my thoughts, too, flow in disorder, like a letter without an address.

Words by Kipras Kaukėnas, following a conversation at the studio. 2023&nbsp; https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/TEXT-KIPRAS Tue, 04 Apr 2023 09:53:36 +0000 Arthur Cordier https://arthurcordier.cargo.site/TEXT-KIPRAS &nbsp; &nbsp; Kipras Kaukėnas Autoroutes Sauvages Maybe we made ourselves blind voluntarily. Perhaps there is always something lurking behind the forgotten and ignored. For how could, from the pitch-black darkness, come so much light and life; from tar so much energy that eventually it could implode the world from within and tear it to pieces? How can verdant and luscious greenery vegetate in the soil of gloomiest shades and that same greenery turn into a putrefying stench of compost? How can so much richness hide in the dullest nooks of the world? To tell you the truth, I always found green and black an odd couple.An oddness not unlike that of people eating fries with ice cream. But I nonetheless thought that there is something freakishly satisfying in dissonance, in queerness, in peculiarities, in strange relations. Whether in couples or colors, whenever we encounter disorder, we may find a glimpse of unintentional harmony. Shouldn’t we say that entropy is harmonious, then? In its own offbeat way, I mean. For ages beauty was associated with harmony and order. But I doubt we ever truly considered how beautiful disarray can be, for we always sought shelter from chaos, or it seems to me. Just look how desperately we try to keep everything neat. Trash must be picked, sick people must be separated from the healthy, prisoners kept in their cells. Maybe now things are slowly becoming different. Maybe now we are brave enough to see beyond the orderly and pristine arrangements. Maybe we are coming to realize that there is more to filth than we think? But I get it, harmony is contentment; It’s suiting. We judge our time spent observing an ordered universe as time well spent. Isn’t it a vicious cycle? Now it becomes crystal-clear to me why we call imposed harmony by the name of beauty. But is that all there is to beauty?

There is a general sense of feverish urgency and excitement. ‘LAATSTE ROOONDE’— the bartender’s call cuts the air thick with breaths and beers. Conversations turn apocalyptic, and we take the apocalypse out onto the streets. We’ve been told it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. But since we’re already living in the near-extinction future, I guess at some point imagination must make room for experience. At least that’s what my friend says, ‘wegbier’ in his hand, as we continue our drunkard’s walk. ‘THE RISE OF THE CREATIVE CLASS’ always already sounded like the name of a zombie film. We should have known better. Some years ago, I would be writing this text nestled up on a second-hand sofa in one of the oddball hipster cafés cropping up across my neighbourhood. Now, I’m wrapped up in a blanket and hunched over a desk at my overpriced and under-heated studio apartment. There’s been so much talk about speculative futures amongst artists and institutions. Is there not enough speculation in our undead cities? ‘HAITI’s HOMELESS GET TARPS, WANT TENTS.’ After smokestacks and pit heads, billboards became new monuments to industrial obsolescence. Wedged in the landscape, those lonesome brutes obstruct the flow of time and divert currency streams. Billboards hollering ‘YOUR AD HERE’ to anyone who cares to look up. Billboards, disappearing into the landscape. Billboards enacting the vengeance. ‘BILLBOARD CRUSHES CAR, INJURES TWO’. Tarp, tar, trickle, turquoise. This is the end of the world of advertising as we know it. Advertising has now become fully internalised. It is no longer an extension but a structural part of digital and subliminal infrastructures. Living in a city used to be like living with permanent tinnitus; we had to learn to ignore the surrounding visual noise. Now, I live in an ad-free part of town, where its own carefully cultivated image, distributed across social networks, has become its most efficient advertisement. I experience a pinch of nostalgia and a tangy feel in my mouth when passing by the only postered blind wall in this part of town. Faded posters are peeling off, revealing traces of information starved for attention. Someone is leaning against the wall, holding up a cardboard sign that reads ‘EXHIBITION TEXTS ARE SPONSORED CONTENT—CHANGE MY MIND’. What comes after the attention economy? Are we all going to become prosumers, in an autophagic manner consuming only our own content? I’ve always preferred to look at works in their context, from the distance of a second remove, I tell Arthur the other day, after we both confess how challenging it is to put in words our opinions — no, feelings — on painting. Each time he sees a painting he likes, Arthur says, he has this distinct taste on his tongue… ‘Tangy?’ I inquire. While I enjoy lingering on their surfaces, appreciating the interplay of abstract and figurative elements, it is the ostentatious materiality of Arthur’s paintings — ‘synthetic’, ‘sticky’, ‘weathered’ — that speaks most urgently to me. What does it say? It says something about the processes of production and distribution of the work, the histories of the stuff that makes it up, set against the backdrop of extractive, logistic, and financial operations that simultaneously implode the globe and lash it together. It is a hauntological, palimpsestic kind of materiality: used truck tarpaulin reads like a road novel of the cargo’s journey; layers of shoe shine and ink lure the eye inwards; here and there, adhesive vinyl is peeling off, revealing traces of information. The silhouettes of plants in Arthur’s paintings hark back to their fossilised forefathers whose juices nourished the synthetic composite they are made from. They make me think of the cycles of material transformation, of decay and renewal, not only in the physical sense but also in terms of the materials’ circulation across different mental domains that we neatly divide from one another in order to make sense of the extractive world order; the domains we call ‘nature’ or ‘industry’ or ‘culture’. And they are, in fact, a kind of fossil —of the past work, referring back to the project ‘Kunst-planten’, during which Arthur loaned office plants from various advertising agencies to be cultivated in an exhibition space. In line with a managerial optimisation tactic, office plants can increase workers’ productivity. Let’s assume for a moment that their displacement incites a minimal decrease in the productivity of the advertising agencies, triggering a chain reaction. THE FLAPPING OF A PLANT’S LEAVES IN THE HAGUE SETS OFF A STOCK MARKET CRASH IN SHENZEN. Last round, round, circle, cycle, loop. Talking with Arthur, I have to think of various semi-circular motions within his work; how they appear to feed back, folding onto themselves. Yet, with every transformation cycle, something is lost, some degree of entropy takes place, and we arrive at another place. I think after some time spent exploring circular formations, we are both interested in taking this logic of entropy, seepage, and derailing a step further. Incorporating it into a work, a text that doesn’t perfectly loop, that leaves something out, something obscure, something to be questioned or desired. ‘LAATSTE ROOONDE’ — the bartender’s call cuts the air thick with breaths and beers. <img width="966" height="1476" width_o="966" height_o="1476" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/837dbc76d8ca1a6611a24e9c19069a2de42b4506c50334dc5b9875acd48a6741/Yet-a-true-self-.png" data-mid="236092026" border="0" data-scale="66" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/966/i/837dbc76d8ca1a6611a24e9c19069a2de42b4506c50334dc5b9875acd48a6741/Yet-a-true-self-.png" /> And yet a trace of the true self &nbsp;Exists in the False Self.
