Satellietgroep – The Best of Badgast

During TodaysArt Satellietgroep presents 'The Best of Badgast', a program including Cinema at Sea and talks.

Satellietgroep artistically explores the social and ecological impact of the sea and coastal transitions on cities, people, communities and environments in the Netherlands and abroad through international artist in residencies ‘Badgast’ at F.A.S.T. and ‘Now Wakes The Sea’. Satellietgroep invites artists, philosophers, urbanists, architects and scientists and enables them to do fieldwork and to work with local partners, communities and experts in order to research the current status of coastal transitions and to generate new narratives and perspectives. This year Satellietgroep in collaboration with Villa Ockenburgh and Nida Art Colony initiates the first artistic coastal researches into the phenomenon of the ‘Zandmotor’ (Sand Engine), the latest innovation of coastal protection south of The Hague. A new controlled wilderness designed to dissolve in the sea around 2021. It is a time machine that transports us from the holocene (affected by nature) into the anthropocene era (affected by mankind).

During TodaysArt Satellietgroep presents ‘The Best of Badgast’, a program including Cinema at Sea and talks. Satellietgroep also hosts Failed Architecture in the Badgast residency. Parallel program: ‘Zoro Feigl residence at the Zandmotor’. Permanent: 24/7 open air exhibition ‘Zeespiegel at the boulevard of Scheveningen’.
