FROM SITE

Foundation B.a.d is an artists’ initiative from the Netherlands which is
based in Rotterdam.
It was founded in 1987, when a group of art students squatted an
old bath-house and formed a foundation. In 1988, when occupying a
new place in the north of Rotterdam, the foundation reformulated
its position and the basis for the current group was formed.
Since then, the foundation has provided studios, guest studios
and project spaces.
The main aim of Foundation B.a.d is to provide space.
Since 1991 Foundation B.a.d has been situated in a former school
building at Talingstraat 5, which is located south of the river Maas in
an urban area near the harbour of Rotterdam.
In this building, B.a.d provides permanent studios for its members,
guest studios and residencies. There are several common spaces
which are used by members and guests, for artistic and social activities.
These spaces form an evolving situation in which a continuous exchange
of ideas can take place. Visiting guests bring continuous change by presenting their works and ideas.
