How can you occupy a space that’s not been built for you? This was the question in Ant Farm’s minds when they began producing their Inflatables – blow-up, customizable structures – in 1968. Ant Farm, a group that practiced in avant-garde architecture and environmental design, used these Inflatables as stages for other performances but the idea is that anyone can set one up anywhere and that space instantly becomes inhabited. The Inflatables were less about providing architecturally sound structures, and more about providing an easily accessible space where people could interact with each other. These temporary structures were cheap, could be easily moved, and anyone could make one by following written instructions; they could also exist all over the world. The founders expressed that their creations do not have commercial value, but rather serve to provide examples for alternative ways of occupying a space.
