The Aeromodeller (1969-1971) is without a doubt Panamarenko’s most legendary artwork. In the autumn of 1969, the Belgian artist built the monumental airship entirely by himself. It was made from flexible PVC, a material that Panamarenko consciously chose for its unique properties. Today, that very choice poses a major challenge. Due to the test of time, the PVC has become highly fragile: it discolours, deforms, and tears increasingly easily. As a result, the artwork is becoming more and more difficult to preserve and display. With a restoration, we can ensure that The Aeromodeller can fly far once again and inspire generations to dream.
Cast your vote from 15 September via the National Lottery website for Panamarenko's The Aeromodeller and help the airship fly again.
