AKAirways is an art group based in New York City. Our focus is sculpture/installation. The inflatable objects and environments that we create are the central components of our installations. We call it "performance-sculpture." Our work has been presented in a variety of contexts, from the Museum of Modern Art to underground raves, from NASA to the Whitney Biennale, from the sandy beaches of Brazil to warehouses in Shanghai. We are interested in kinesis, collaboration, DIY, modularity and open-source.   Kinetic Our installations transform spaces and each create a dynamic focal point of energy. They are transient and ephemeral, dependent on interaction and engage the environment in which they are deployed. Dynamic works, constantly changing and evolving.
Collaboration Works are installed with the intent of interacting with or complementing other works and spaces; be good neighbors. AKAirways aims to inspire and unlock the potential of the audience by turning its members into collaborators, to promote the creative process in which there is always an ongoing experiment. Playing, learning, sharing, and collaborating.  DIY Simple gestures, accessible techniques and elegant hacks are the ingredients of AKAirways' swiftly deployable installations. You can contact AKAirways to rent or own an inflatable installation but we hope to inspire you, through the documentation of our projects, to give it a shot and do it yourself.
Modular Inflatables can be installed anywhere and configured to any space. Nomadic: works travel to and are influenced by disparate environments. Mobility: AKAirways is not limited by geography, audience, collaborators or installation sites.   Open-source There is no one correct way for any piece to be displayed. AKAirways challenges fixed concepts of visual expression, workflow and development processes. We dream of a multiverse in which ideas are explored, shared openly and constantly refined. Welcome to AKAirways!  |
