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 at The Balcony.
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.
Cedillo’s work has been exhibited at Donaufestival (Austria), Transitio_MX (Mexico City), and the NRML festival (Monterrey), and is part of collections like the Art Museum of Sinaloa and the Fernando García Ponce Museum. This will be his first presentation in The Netherlands.
Slow Drift(s) is a film and video exhibition program that brings together the work of established and emerging filmmakers, exploring the fluid nature of expanded cinema. We begin by inviting an artist with a relevant filmography to exhibit. Then, local and regional collectives are invited to curate their own screenings in response, which complement and challenge our selection. This approach broadens the medium’s associative possibilities in content and aesthetics, while connecting artists at various career stages.
Expanding the defined boundaries of the exhibition as a single event, we have invited film collective Home Cinema founded in 2020 by Carmen Dusmet Carrasco and Andrea González Garrán, to develop a screening program responding to Cedillo’s selected works.
ABOUT
Since March 2018 The Balcony curates exhibitions supporting the presentation of upcoming practices with a focus on alternative formats of display, keen on collaborations and cross-generational presentations. The initiative was previously hosted in the vitrine of a violin store, originally known as The Balcony (2018 – 2020), as well as the basement of a former office space, previously known as Susan Bites (2019 – 2021).
In 2021 the initiative relocated to a permanent location in the city centre at Nieuwe Molstraat 14-A2, hosting an exhibition space and artist studios. Starting from September 2023 The Balcony is curated by Arthur Cordier (b.1993. BE), Valentino Russo (b.1994. IT) as well as Abril Cisneros Ramirez (b. 2001. MX), Marica Kolcheva (b.1986. BG) and Ariane Toussaint (b.1996. FR), who recently joined the team to expand the curatorial and public program. The team warmly thanks the artists for making this exhibition possible, Stefan Bandalac (SBAE) for the technical partnership and graphic designers Pavlo Radich and Julia Waraksa from STAATSDUET. Members of the initiative support the programme on a project and often on a voluntary basis, your support is appreciated.
