NCCA and Satellietgroep cordially invite you to the opening on August 25 at 17:00 at PRO ARTE FOUNDATION St. Petersburg. Artists Maurice Bogaert (NL) and Ilya Grishaev (RU) will present the results of their research residency, hosted at NCCA Kronstadt residency on Kotlin Island, St. Petersburg.
The century long relationship with the Netherlands and St Petersburg is based on water. Peter the Great brought Dutch knowledge of shipbuilding and canals to St. Petersburg. That turned St Petersburg from a swampy area into the much-appreciated city with urban canals and the important international harbour. More recently Dutch engineers helped to build the dam in the Neva bay to resist flood of the city. On a global scale the effects of climate change will further affect the living conditions of people and cities in low-lying areas such as St. Petersburg and the Netherlands. With the prospect of rising sea level we need to learn from the past in order to be able to develop resilient methods for the future.
This bilateral exchange project is initiated by Satellietgroep and organized together with the NCCA, North-Western branch in St. Petersburg, supported by the Netherlands Institute in St. Petersburg (NIP) and the St. Petersburg PRO ARTE Foundation.

Our projects are currently supported by funding by Stichting DOEN and Stroom and commisioned by Rijksdienst Cultueel Erfgoed and Provincie Zuid-Holland. Together with Provincie Zuid-Holland we now develop Zandgast, the new visitor center and artist in residency on and about the Zandmotor. Aimed at sharing new works and insights of the coexistence of man and water with broader audiences and in collaboration with multiple partners.
 
Satellietgroep (The Hague, 2006) explores through arts the social and ecological impact of the sea and coastal transitions on cities, people, communities and environments in The Netherlands and abroad. The aim is to enhance public and professional awareness on coastal transitions.
Satellietgroep hosts artists in residents for artistic fieldwork, connect 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 the international artist in residency exchange programs called Badgast and Now Wakes The Sea. 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 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 existing works for public events like traveling film festivals, exhibitions, workshops and presentations at expert conferences. 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.
