A.I.R. extension#02

A.I.R extension#02 was set up in context of Cabinet Jacotot (2006), the first presentation of the research/residency project “Potential Estate” (see www.potentialestate.be). This temporary collective aims to explore ideas of artistic collaboration in a context defined by identity and postcolonial issues. Potential Estate refers to the (potential) residency of a number of participating artists in Belgium, a small village in Wisconsin, USA.
Cabinet Jacotot was named after the revolutionary French pedagogue Joseph Jacotot who lived in exile in Louvain (B) in 1818.
For A.I.R extension#02 Vermeir&Heiremans proposed to work on a display model. It was conceived as a hosting object, in which participating artists presented their visuals from earlier projects on migration and identity.

Participating artists:
Herman Asselberghs (B), Johan Grimonprez (B), David Evrard (B), Laurent Flamand (B),� Pierre Huyghebaert (B), Ronny Heiremans (B) & Katleen Vermeir (B), Vincent Meessen (USA/B), Adam Leech (USA), Ivo Provoost (B) & Simona Denicolai (I)
