About this website, it was created by an anonymous HTML amateur to administer the life and times of Stichting Maldoror, so it may look nice to us but horrible to you. Perhaps in the future we will invite a professional webdesigner to have a look and do it properly for us. All text and images on maldoror.com by Anthony Blokdijk (m); © Stichting Maldoror, unless stated otherwise. This website is dedicated to my webmasters, Boyd Noorda and Dani-el Rodenburg, and my fellow-members of the board, Boudewijn Pronk (l) and Raoul de Vries (r).

Stichting Maldoror is a non-profit art foundation since 1987 located in The Hague, The Netherlands.

From 1987 to 1997 Stichting Maldoror mainly published books in Dutch by a.o. Baudelaire, Burroughs and its own writings, organized events on subjects as 'Art in the Eighties' and the Viennese Actionists, and contributed to tv-shows and festivals about Bataille, Beckett and 'Antwerp, Cultural Capital of Europe'. Furthermore it ran a gallery showing works by dozens of artists. Many travels were made to England and Hungary.

In 1997 a major split within the organization took place, and Anthony Blokdijk - one of the original founders - started organizing art-projects with children and teenagers in The Hague's Painters' district, such as recording and promoting young rappers and other musicians. At the same time the website maldoror.com was launched for non-commercial purposes. Travels brought us to Morocco, Italy and many other exotic places in the south of Europe.

In 2006 Stichting Maldoror temporarily moved to Suriname in South America, setting up a media library at the Nola Hatterman Art Academy in Paramaribo, as well as helping setting up a location for artists-in-residence. Unfortunately we never made it to Jonestown, Guyana.

2008 brought Maldoror back to Europe unexpectedly, now focusing on several new projects all over the world, including two projects connected to Suriname and the current "2084" series in The Hague itself.
