Satellietgroep is an artists’ initiative created in 2006 in The Hague, The Netherlands for the purpose of studying the cultural significance of oceans and seas from the perspective of the arts and science. The group’s founders are Jacqueline Heerema (visual artist), Marianne Volleberg (anthropologist), Andries Micke (architect), Bas de Koning and Hederik van der Kolk (the graphic designers of creative collective Duel), and adviser Denis Oudendijk (architect). They challenge artists, designers, (landscape)architects and scientists to develop new concepts and projects that articulate a cultural, innovative and sustainable significance of the sea and her coasts. Satellietgroep’s projects include Satellieteiland, Zeedelijk, S.MAG (Sea Magazine) and EXOOT, all of which are aimed at securing a position for art and culture on seas and in coastal areas across the globe.
