Katleen Vermeir (b. 1973, Bornem, BE) and Ronny Heiremans (b. 1962, Heist-op-den-Berg, BE) have collaborated as Vermeir & Heiremans since 2006, when they initiated the long-term project A.I.R. They define their own home as an artwork within the concept of architecture that it renders space as constructions for the projections of consumer desires. Vermeir & Heiremans produce representations of their home through ‘mediated extensions’, such as installations and videos, performances, interviews, publications and more. The public cannot experience the ‘house as artwork’ in a physical sense but only through these extensions. The artist duo have shown their work all over the world and participated in various artist residency programmes.
