During their research residency for Dancing on the Edge with Satellietgroep at DCR Gueststudios in The Hague, theater practitioners Lina Issa and Mayar Alexan connected with local co-authors to develop a mutual understanding of shared identity inspired by the sea. The project focusses on the relationship between the human body and the sea, and the sea as a body of narratives, connecting Libanon, Syria and the Netherlands and beyond. How can we perceive within our local culture the global concept of drowning and being submerged in the memories we may share?
PROGRAM:
The site-specific performance 'A Ticket to Atlantis' is presented during Dancing On The Edge Festival, 8-12 Nov at 16:30, on the beach with after talks.
The traveling installation 'The Atantis Project - A Sea of Stories', from 8-18 Nov, shares the narratives collected during the research and aims at spreading them again.

WHO IS THE 'SELF' IN SELF SUFFICIENCY?
In the Anthropocene humans affect the earth on a geological scale. Satellietgroep explores the Zandmotor, a prime example of the anthropogenic frame of mind, as a cultural phenomenon. We need engaged artists and passionate scientists to unexpectedly explore the world around us and jointly test our perceptions.

OVER
Kunstenaarscollectief Satellietgroep (Den Haag, 2006) onderzoekt de zee, kusttransities, klimaatverandering en de rol van de mens in deze processen, in binnen- en buitenland.
Met de actuele discussie over het nieuwe geologische tijdperk, het Antropoceen genoemd, komen we tot het inzicht dat de mens ook sturend is in veranderingsprocessen op aarde. Veel van ons veranderende klimaat hangt nu immers samen met de invloed die wij als mens uitoefenen op onze leefomgeving. Besef van het kustlandschap als cultuurlandschap draagt bij aan het beter leren begrijpen van de geschiedenis (waar komen we vandaan) en de toekomst (waar gaan we naartoe). Satellietgroep onderzoekt samen met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en experts sinds 2014 de Zandmotor als cultureel fenomeen, als voorbeeld van de antropogene invloed van de mens op aarde. Na eeuwenlang bouwen van dijken, dammen en sluizen die effect hebben op onder meer verzilting en het verhinderen van transport van sedimenten naar zee (de zogenaamde zandhonger langs de Nederlandse kust) is de Zandmotor het nieuwste voorbeeld van de hybride relatie mens en natuur: build by man, performed by nature. De Zandmotor is een nieuw kustlandschap in Zuid-Holland, ten zuiden van Den Haag. Als een efemeer Land Art project is de Zandmotor in 2011 gebouwd met 21,5 miljoen m3 Pleistoceen zand van de bodem van de Noordzee, uit de tijd dat de mammoeten wandelden over de bodem van wat we nu de Noordzee noemen. Het is een openbaar toegankelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoeksterrein om nieuwe kennis te genereren voor de toekomstige kustbescherming, genaamd Bouwen met de Natuur. Uniek, want de Zandmotor is het enige stukje buitendijks Nederland dat is gebouwd als experiment om te veranderen en zelfs op te gaan in zee, strand en duinen rond 2031.
ABOUT
Artists collective Satellietgroep (The Hague, 2006) explores through arts & design 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 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 '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).
Starting September 2014 we program the first artistic research on the Zandmotor in collaboration with Villa Ockenburgh/Locatie Z (2014-2015), with international collaborations with Nida Art Colony (LT), NCCA St.Petersburg (RU) and LMCC (NYC).
Satellietgroep programs 3 DCR Gueststudios at DCR, the cultural incubator in The Hague that also houses 35 permanent studios for artists and designers, including the studio of Satellietgroep, Zaal 3 - laboratory for performing arts of Theater aan het Spui, sound studio Loos, Cloud Danslab and exhibition space Nest. If you are interested in a short or long term cultural visit in The Hague, chack out: www.gueststudio.com | www.dedcr.nl
The curatorial team of Satellietgroep consists of Jacqueline Heerema, Francois Lombarts and Lotte Bosman.

Volgend op het succes van vorig jaar werkt kunstenaarscollectief Satellietgroep ook dit jaar weer tijdens Festival Designkwartier 2017 in en met de Tempel, centrum voor Archeologie, Natuur- en Milieu Educatie Den Haag.
‘TIJD MAKEN - MAKING TIME’ gaat over een gedeelde passie voor grondstoffen, scherven, constructies en reconstructies van tijd en plaats. Er bestaat een wijdverspreide fascinatie om in het landschap sporen te onderzoeken, verzamelen en archiveren. Waar die passie vandaan komt is een van de vragen waar we samen met kunstenaars, vormgevers en de medewerkers van de Tempel bij stil staan.
Following the success of last year, artists collective Satellietgroep works again at and with the Tempel, department of Archaeology Nature and Environmental Education The Hague, during Festival Designkwartier 2017
'TIJD MAKEN - MAKING TIME' is about the shared passion for raw materials, shards, constructions and reconstructions of time and place. There exists a wide spread passion for exploring, collecting and archiving traces in the landscape. The origin of this passion is one of the questions we relate to together with artists, designers and experts of the Tempel.
WORKSHOPS & MORE FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS:
Explore what the world looked like through a microscope and help wash and paste shards with the experts of the Tempel.
Each day 12:00 - 13:00 Making your own Fossils with Nishiko
Each day at 16:00 - 17:00 Collective Soil Tasting with Masha Ru
Join Atelier NL and you can buy your Zandmotor ZandGlas!
EATABLE CERAMICS & EARTH TASTING BY MASHA RU
Join Masha during the Collective Soil Tasting, each day 16:00 - 17:00
For Festival Designkwartier Masha selected 60 soils from around the world and presents 'Eatable Ceramics'. Geophagy is a phenomenon of eating earth and soil-like substances. In a number of countries all over the world geophagy is a cultural and spiritual tradition. However, in Europe and United States it is officially regarded as a psychological disorder, which is included into DSM-IV. This installation presents 'edible' soils from various countries. The clays can be tasted. We tasted all of it. Some of it we eat regularly. However, we did not analyse all of it yet. Thus, eating is at your own risk.
With special thanks to Atelier NL and Mondriaan Fonds for the support of Masha Ru in 2015-2017.

MAKING YOUR OWN FOSSILS BY NISHIKO
Join Nishiko for Making your own Fossils, each day 12:00-13:00
Shells, mammoth bones, insects, footsteps. A great duration of time is one of the key ingredients of becoming a fossil. Christiaan Rieffe, geologist at the Tempel, explained that almost anything which survived 4000 years can be considered as a fossil. Taking that as a starting point, visual artist Nishiko organises the workshop “making fossils”, in an attempt to design our own fossils. Let’s hope, someone will uncover your fossils in 4000 years!
REPAIRING WORK OF VALERIE DEMPSEY AND RONALD BOER 'BEACH LABORATORY' BY NISHIKO
A broken wine glass, four broken glass bottles and shards of specimen dishes, plaster and things made, found and received during the process.
The original artwork 'Beach laboratory; Coastal Reckoning' of Valerie Dempsey and Ronald Boer consisted of distilled seawater and extracted sea salt, which the artists collected at four points on the beach in Scheveningen, during the residency program at Badgast organised by Satellietgroep in 2010. During exhibition at Nest in summer 2011, the salt was displayed in four specimen dishes, and behind these, the water stored in four bottles. An accident took place during the opening, when someone placed a wine glass on the shelf on which the work was displayed. It fell to the ground, and the work was completely destroyed.
When Nishiko witnessed the incident, she was concurrently occupied with repairing broken objects, and so was moved to keep the shards, promising the artists to repair their work. The work is a hommage to the numerous coincidences Nishiko has had through her 'Repairing Earthquake Project' that started in 2011, just after she encountered the fallen artwork.

ZANDMOTOR ZANDGLAS BY ATELIER NL
Join Atelier NL and you can buy your Zandmotor ZandGlas!
Last year during Festival Designkwartier designers Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Ryswyck of Atelier NL presented the research, this year the product!
Nadine and Lonny used the sand from the Zandmotor and developed ZandGlas in collaboration with our network of scientists. For the manufacture of the limited edition, the designers worked together with Gert Bullée, top glassblower in the Netherlands. At high temperatures, the wild sands of the Zandmotor melt and eventually transform into characteristic, pale green glass. Sleek and elegant design in a sophisticated colour, and with charming imperfections that make each object unique. These are the very first glass products in a larger series that Atelier NL is crafting out of sand from dunes, beaches, rivers, deserts, mountains and sandpits in the Netherlands and beyond.

THE NOISE OF TIME BY LOTTE GEEVEN
If you listen carefully you can hear a very soft and constant rustling sound in the background wherever you are: the noise of time. Resident artist Lotte Geeven - who is at the moment researching acoustic sand - created a small edition of acoustic hourglasses entitled ’ The noise of time’ after the eponymous novel by Julian Barnes. These instruments filled with very fine sand can be played by one simple hand-gesture that sets 1.5 millions grains in motion. This is one small hand out of the monstrous amount of approximately seven quintillion five quadrillion grains of sand on earth that are rolling and swirling over the globe; choreographed by winds and currents.
