NEW CYCLE
On March 7th, The Balcony will launch Extractive Imagination(s), its entirely new exhibition cycle !
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.
EXHIBITION
How does the harnessing of energy relate to cultural production? How to produce without extracting? The inaugural chapter, Pied-à-Terre, Harnessing Energy, features major works by Elsa Brès, Adele Dipasquale, and Pedro A.H. Paixão.
We look forward to Elsa Brès’ and Pedro A.H. Paixão very first exhibition in The Netherlands ! The Balcony is also excited and pleased to present new work by Adele Dipasquale.
︎ The exhibition marks The Balcony’s 7th birthday ︎
