Though the event takes place indoor, the dresscode is outdoor, as it may be cold inside!


Satellietgroep & all invited artists and designers and guests warmly invite you to join the exhibition & program to rethink our perceptions of culture and nature.
During five weeks, every week we shift the focus within the whole exhibition process, with a program of workshops, seminars and expditions. Visitors have the opportunity to connect and contribute to the ongoing process of artistic research, share their thoughts and insights, and discover through the arts a multitude of fields of knowledge.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 3
NATURE & THE ARCHITECT
EXCARVATING THE SQUARE MOUNTAIN
Start: 15:00
Join artists Sachi Miyachi, Thijs Ebbe Fokkens and Maurice Bogaert. As three subjective tour guides they will each share the way they navigate and contemplate the space of Electriciteitsfabriek.
British philosopher Timothy Morton calls climate a 'hyperobject', too large to relate to. Zooming in or out on the landscape and climate of Electriciteitsfabriek, each artist narrates an ideal perspective of unexpected discoveries.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 4
WORKSHOP 'EAST-WEST-THINKING CEMENT' 
Onkruidenier - Jonmar van Vlijmen & Ronald Boer icw Rosanne van Wijk
14:30 - 17:00
 
Onkruidenier & Rosanne van Wijk connect Climate as Artifact in The Hague with the parallel artist-in-residency at Bamboo Curtain Studio in Taipei, on the island of Taiwan in the East China Sea. On both locations they bring together the ingredients - sand, burnt shells, sugar and glutinous rice - to fabricate cement according to a historic recipe brought by the Dutch from ancient China and introduced at Formosa during colonial times (1624-1662). Though the ingredients are known, there are no records of guidelines for production. How did the Dutch learn to create this strong and yet elastic cement?

This afternoon we invite you to join the research of grinding, boiling, pressing and mixing of ingredients.
The experimentation takes place simultaneous in the former industrial factory in The Hague and highly urbanised Taipei. With the raw materials they aim to bring the world of the coast (sand and shells) together with the world of the supermarket (sugar and rice) into an artistic binder between nature and culture and between East and West.

Artists collective Satellietgroep (The Hague, 2006) explores through arts the social and ecological impact of the sea and coastal transitions on cities, people, communities and environments, and vice versa the influence of mankind on coastal transitions and climate change in The Netherlands and abroad. Our aim is to enhance public and professional awareness. Satellietgroep hosts artists in residents for artistic fieldwork, collaborate with locals and experts and develop new concepts and works that reflect the resilience of coexistence of man and water, in past, present and future.
Long term projects are 'Badgast' - artist in residency program at The Hague/Scheveningen (2009 - 2014), 'Now Wakes The Sea', the international exchange residency program in collaboration with international cultural partners (since 2012). Since 2014 Satellietgroep develops the first artistic research on the Zandmotor, the newest innovation on coastal protection, called Building with Nature. In these programs artist in residencies are used as a research method to enable artists, designers, students and scientists to do fieldwork and to work on site with local partners, coastal communities and experts in order to map out and research the current status of coastal transitions and to generate new narratives and perspectives. The programs function as an alternative source for collecting. New concepts and works are developed that we connect and contextualize with reference works for public events like expeditions, exhibitions, workshops and presentations at expert conferences, often outside the artistic domain. Artist in residents are invited to critically explore and visualize the zones of coexistence of man and water and reveal different perspectives. By interconnecting coastal communities, arts and science we share local knowledge on global level to gain sustainable insights on coastal transitions that transcend local and national issues.
