D-AiR is precariously funded/underfunded mostly through the generosity of local Dundee residents and participants who give their time and creativity freely to our projects. Between 2010 - 2011 we received funding from Hannah Maclure Centre, Abertay University, Dundee Botanic Garden, Dundee University, Dundee Visual Arts Award, and income inkind from other organisations. With that we practiced necessary alchemy. Individual artists also received direct funding for their contribution to Dundee Live.

D is for Dundee.
D is our dependence.

The hyphen [-] is an archeytpe.
Mercurial in its movement.

AiR is generosity.
AiR is what we breathe.

The clearing of air is a clearing for appearing and disappearing, for presence and absence. At least that is how one can - one could? - think of it when forgetting the materiality of air.
