The “geborgen kamers” (secured rooms) is the exhibition space of the Gaidaro Foundation.
The “geborgen kamers” has been allocated a new space in the Ambachtsgaarde. A former pharmacy #6 and butchery #14. see map
In 2006 the “geborgen kamers” first opened on the Brandtstraat nr.158. situated in Transvaal of The Hague – Holland, a neighbourhood that is going through changes; building wise as well as demographic.
In 2007 they moved to the Hertzogstraat nr.152. also in Transvaal of The Hague.
The Hague in co working with social/cultural organizations entrust certain buildings to artists. The artists use the buildings for living and working space and often get involved with the workshops of the community arts organizations. A few art initiatives found the ground to develop their projects in own space. One of them is the Gaidaro Foundation, active since 1999. It has always been internationally orientated, with multilanguaged artists and traveling exhibitions; here, it brings this moving diversity to its own space.
