Artists Initiative Satellietgroep was established in 2006 in The Hague, with the aim of studying the cultural significance of sea from the perspective of the arts and science. The founders are Jacqueline Heerema (art concept +organization), Andries Micke (architect) and Hederik van der Kolk and Bas the Koning(Collective of designers Duel). We challenge artists, designers, (landscape) architects and scientists to create new concepts and projects that express the cultural, innovative and sustainable qualities of the sea and its coasts . Our projects include Satellietisland (2006), Zeedelijk (2007), S. MAG (Sea Magazines from 2007), EXOOT (2008) and the artproject BADGAST- culture container at sea (2009-2011).
BADGAST is built from 2 stacked shipping containers by recycling architects REFUNC for Satellietgroep. BADGAST is an artist in residence on the coast where artists and scientists from home and abroad work at the invitation of Satellietgroep. In addition, we show films about the sea in the Cinema by the Sea @ BADGAST.
BADGAST is situated at FAST, the new urban beach community that is created at the point where the boulevard turns into the harbour of Scheveningen, The Hague, The Netherlands.

You are most welcome to explore the coast of Scheveningen, The Hague in The Netherlands with us!
Arts and science can express the spatial and social qualities - as well as the problems - of our coastal areas, and make them surprisingly accessible to the public. It's these works that transform a destination normally marked by consumption and recreation into a platform for serious communication.
