description
"Ingold Airlines is an inter-contextual airline. It allows you to keep both feet on the ground and still take off. Because it's about traveling in your head," explains Johanna Foitzik from the Amberg Air Museum . You can book the trips in real life, for example on the Internet. "The artist Res Ingold also goes to trade fairs with his fictional airline, has a stand like all other airlines, giveaways, an established brand with a logo and all the trimmings. Art, culture and marketing merge." There “are” z. B. a passenger escort , a VIP service , a member club , a cargo system and a shuttle service .
Ingold thematizes the relationship between signs and what is designated ( semiotic triangle ), between reality and simulation , between business and art . In 1996 Ingold Airlines was converted into a public company.
The International Bird Airport project was founded in 2009 and continued in 2012 on the roof of the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn .
Quotes
“This is one of the operating areas that has developed the most rapidly: There are a lot of people who prefer not to fly, who are afraid to fly, who simply don't want to be seen as non-fliers, and we have tickets for them that they then show that they belong, but didn't have to fly. "
