A.I.R extension#03

A.I.R extension#03 was part of Generator (2006), a site-specific installation by the artist trio HAP. The HAP project claimed a territory at the exhibition site marking it off with publicity panels. HAP rented out these panels in order to raise money for their project “a house…” to be produced elsewhere on a later occasion.
Vermeir&Heiremans proposed to HAP to hire a panel.
A.I.R extension#03 has a special relevance. The redevelopment of the former military hospital – the site on which the exhibition took place - offered a very meaningful context with new apartments, project development for lofts and family housing as architectural ‘formats’ being deployed. Going along with the idea of the publicity panels Vermeir&Heiremans produced a panel with reference to the project website, as a mediated extension of their habitat.
