arp heliport

Concept of the work

Thanks to Res Ingold, Rolandseck has a helicopter landing pad: the arp heliport. He has been operating ingold airlines as an art project since 1982. The company ingold airlines, however, is much more than just an airline company: it is a mindset, an inner conviction. For ingold airlines, flying is only partly a real, material process, for it is also an intangible idea. In addition to perfecting its service as a provider of flights for people and goods, ingold airlines also provides a means of transport for intangible goods, such as ideas, information and emotional energies.
As part of the Riverside Sculpture Park project in Remagen, Res Ingold’s arp heliport sculpture is therefore also a fictional yet real helicopter landing pad.
Alongside the existing rail, road and waterway transport routes, this sculpture also opens up the airspace for the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck.

Res Ingold born 1954 in Emmental, Switzerland, lives and works in Cologne, Munich and Italy
