‘NOW WAKES THE SEA’ 2012
The project 'Now Wakes The Sea' is initiated by Satellietgroep and involves research based air programs for artists/filmmakers in coastal transition areas around the Black Sea and North Sea to develop new works, select existing works and program a traveling filmfestival for screening on venues, both on the coast of the Black Sea as well as on The North Sea.
2012: 'NOW WAKES THE SEA' - NLTR400
First step in connecting the Black Sea to the North Sea is the collaboration of Satellietgroep/Badgast (NL) with European Cultural Association/Europist (TR), in the context of 'Sinopale 4 - International Sinop Biennial' and the celebration of NLTR400 in 2012.

XsentrikArts is a European based interdisciplinary arts platform with an emphasis on motion media projects. During their residency, Bahanur and Yilmaz will produce a documentary about the Black Sea Coast, following extensive research on the culture, architecture and history of the area.
The research topic of Bahanur Nasya, focuses on a comparison and cross-study of vernacular architecture in the Turkish Black Sea region and the Austrian Alps. This work concentrates on the life and settlement structures of the people in both regions. It attempts to compare how different people with different beliefs, customs and languages handle similarly difficult conditions and circumstances: living and surviving on slopes of the Alps and the Pontus mountains.
Together they hope to portray how centuries of co-existing with nature and the sea has created such a rich and vibrant culture, one which needs to be maintained and not sacrificed to the norms of what we define as global modernity, whether it be modern highways which serve as a disconnect between the inhabitants of a region and the sea, or dying out traditions which should be maintained and passed onto other generations.

Maurice Bogaert (Artist)
www.mauricebogaert.nl
In the recent years Bogaert has developed his practice with a series of works that engage, each in different ways, in what he calls 'filmic architecture'. Bogaert engages cinematic architecture and explores the relationships between scale models, sets, architecture, and the moving image. The starting point of one of his recent works 'The Apartment' was the question: would it be possible to do a remake of a film, for instance Roman Polanski's Repulsion, with a set that would allow one to do so in one single shot? In 'The Apartment' the spectator takes on the role of the camera.
How to translate the combination of spaces, montage and shifts in size and angle as we see them in the film into the actual spatiality of a set that would allow one to shoot the film in a single continuity without the cut and paste of montage? This has brought him to the idea of the 'Morphed Set'. Often the inspiration a new work starts with an exciting film, which shapes the concept and starting point. Then his work becomes a reconstruction of this particular set in which one could make a remake of the film but in a way that it could be done in one shot.
For the residency period Bogaert is interested in exploring how his ideas on 'Filmic architecture' and 'Morfed Set' can be implemented in the context of Sinop. Seen the rich history of Sinop having been an observation point, and external forces taking over the place, he would like to explore this notion further.

Preview 'Now Wakes The Sea -NLTR400' in Nieuw Dakota NDSM Amsterdam
Tentoonstelling 'Turkse Pioniers' Nieuw Dakota open van 11:00-17:00, toegang gratis.
Verzamelen om 17:00 bij Nieuw Dakota voor de screening van NWTS, start om 17:15-19:00, toegang gratis. Mogelijkheid om bij PLLEK een maaltijd te nuttigen na afloop van het screeningsprogramma.
Satellietgroep organiseert op 7 juli in samenwerking met Nieuw Dakota een screeningsavond op de NDSM werf in Amsterdam. De screening sluit in onderwerp aan bij de huidige expositie in Nieuw-Dakota, 'Turkse Pioniers' door het Amsterdam Museum. In de tentoonstelling 'Turkse Pioniers' wordt door middel van fotografie en film het verhaal verteld van de eerste generatie jonge mannen die in de jaren zestig vanuit Turkije naar Amsterdam migreerden.
Tijdens de screening zal ondermeer de korte video 'Haznedar Usta' (onderdeel van het project Hidrellez, 2009) door Marielle Videler en Maurice Bogaert worden getoond, en de film 'Ekumenopolis' van Imre Azem. Ekumenopolis is een kritische documentaire over de groei van Istanbul en de ecologische problemen die dit met zich meebrengt. Hoe kan een stad omgaan met een explosieve groei aan nieuwkomers?
Na het filmprogramma kan er aansluitend een maaltijd genuttigd worden bij restaurant PLLEK aan het stadsstrand. PLLEK is een restaurant opgebouwd uit zeecontainers. Ook voorafgaand aan de screening is het heerlijk toeven met een drankje op het stadsstrand op de NDSM werf.
