Panamarenko (Belgium, 1940–2019) was a visionary artist and inventor celebrated for his fantastical flying machines, submarines, and vehicles. Blending art, science, and engineering, his works reflected a playful yet profound exploration of human ambition and technological possibilities. Iconic creations like Aeromodeller embody his imaginative approach to art and innovation.

Is there anything scarier than growing up? Adults have no imagination.

- Panamarenko

Renowned for modeling his work on aerodynamic engineering, Henri Van Herwegen - creating under the pseudonym of Panamarenko - is a mixed-media assemblagist whose work heavily features flying vehicles such as zeppelins, helicopters, and most notably aeroplanes; among his most acclaimed sculptures is his gallery-sized airship, Aeromodeller, and as is the case with other such works as Scotch Gambit, the machine’s flying capability is untested and as yet unknown – a purposely ironic nod to the Myth of Icarus. Panamarenko’s early career was heavily influenced by the Pop Art movement, as well as the works of Picasso and Beuys, but he soon developed an interest in human powered flights and began to create work pertaining to aviation and engineering as a metaphor for human exploration, hope and failure.

What is Happening?

A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
