Four major art projects for new KCI terminal revealed
The first of four major art projects for the new single terminal airport at KCI have been revealed.
More than 1,000 artists from around the world submitted inquiries after Kansas City announced an international search for artists. The city said the four works of art were chosen because they either reflected the wonder of travel or Kansas City history. The budget for artwork at KCI’s new terminal is $5.65 million. Kansas City’s single-terminal airport is expected to open on budget and on time in early 2023. “The fact that we’ve been through a pandemic over the last year and yet this project remains on time, on schedule, and on budget is a testament to the good work of the team,” said Justin Meyer with the KC Aviation Department. You can see the renderings of the art projects in the gallery below. Entitled "Molten Swing" Entitled "The Air up There" Entitled "Ornithology" Entitled "Fountain of Resonance" "Molten Swing" looks kind of like a mosaic dog or cat to me, it might look cool though but not sure what to make of it at this point. "The Air up There" simply looks like some lights on the ceiling, again it might look better when you're actually there I hope. "Ornithology" reminds me of those attacking creatures in the Pitch Black movie. You just knew one of the artwork they chose would have a WTF moment and this is it. "Fountain of Resonance" I approve of this one. Thoughts? https://fox4kc.com/news/art-projects...inal-revealed/ |

Should have just put up a few murals of LJS platter and used the money to buy everyone in Johnson County PornHub premium.

On time but not sure about the budget claim. The voters approved 1.5 billion for the new airport somehow KCMO thought tacking on an extra billion was aok.
The city won't take care of this one any better than the last. This new greenhouse sure won't last as long as the last. |

Traveling is like going to a sporting event. Something about it makes people feel okay dropping cash for overpriced food and drink. Pre-Covid, you were lucky to find an open spot at a bar/restaurant in O'hare or Midway.

I was hoping for some lizard illuminati stuff so we could beat Denver. Also something that would be more garish than Blucifer.

I was fine with the old shitty airport where I could be on the plane, and then one minute later be outside of the terminal.

Yeah, it's pretty easy. But at least now we can have out of towners say stuff like "Wow, this airport has convinced me KC is a first rate city!" and "They had a PF Changs, this is truly amazing!"
