Bermuda Open is a yearly open studio event that presents studios of artists with a contemporary practice in the city of The Hague. The fourth edition presented over 115 artist studios in 27 locations throughout the city.
Alongise the open studio route, Heden and Bermuda Open curate the group show 'Nightshift' to shed light on nightlife from various perspectives: from a collective festive event to an individual identity-defining moment. In addition to a selection of works from Heden's diverse collection, the exhibition presents work by nine artists based in The Hague. The show also highlights the night as a sanctuary for the exceptional, bizarre, and ominous, where subcultures can manifest themselves without restrictions. The artists participating in this co-production share their fascination for nightlife and reflect in a poetic and non-judgmental way on the risks that nightlife can also entail, such as addiction, crossing borders and loneliness.

The second chapter of the curatorial cycle 'Extractive Imagination(s)' examines the overlap between the physiological human need to maintain a body temperature of 37°C and the (social) infrastructures we’ve developed to stay warm – what we define today as architecture. 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.”
How and what do we extract to fire? More importantly, with whom do we share the resulting warmth? The exhibition looks at infrastructure in The Netherlands, particularly in The Hague.
The exhibition includes the production of new work by Collective Atlas of Ovens, existing work by Arjun Das, Jan van Eyck Academie resident 2023-24, and original prints by Bernd & Hilla Becher.

How does the harnessing of energy relate to cultural production? How to produce without extracting? 'Pied-à-Terre. Harnessing Energy' is the inaugural chapter of the curatorial cycle of The Balcony titled 'Extractive Imagination(s)'.
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 exhibition explores extraction and consumption as intertwined processes and warmth a a source for storytelling.

For extra_muros, a program placed under the signs of collaboration and European exchange, The Balcony is teaming up with Non-Étoile, a large Paris-based artist collective and project space, with the group show 'Tompouce meets Madeleine'. The exhibition title references traditional Dutch and French desserts, as well as the folklore characters associated with them — Tom Pouce (Tom Thumb), an adventurous child no bigger than his father’s thumb, and Madeleine, a figure whose identity as a baker has been claimed by various historical narratives. The artists in this exhibition turn to storytelling and myth-making as processes tightly woven with what we make with our hands: hands that dream of pigments, puzzles, and syrup — echoing the sensory richness of childhood. The fantastical here appears as the other side of the handmade: that which softens under the warmth of a molding palm and unfurls, full of texture.

In addition to the exhibition 'Tompouce meets Madeleine', The Balcony co-organises a panel talk at Atelier Néerlandais as a networking event and presentation of The Hague, Netherlands, and Paris' artist-run landscapes. The intention is to meet, put things in perspective, and exchange good practices. Among the speakers are representatives of French collectives: La main (Paris, association supporting the sustainability and professionalization of cultural ‘tiers-lieux’), Le Wonder (Paris, artist-run space), Non-Étoile (Paris, artist-run space); as well as Dutch organizations: Bronco (The Hague, artist-run space), The Balcony (The Hague, artist-run space), Platform BK (Amsterdam, organization supporting art workers).
With speakers Laura Aufrère, Yves Bartlett, Jérôme Clément-Wilz, Arthur Cordier, Léa Guillout, Julia Piccolo, Harriet Rose Morley, Marnix van Uum, Hugo Vessiller-Fonfreide.
