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/ |

They should have a room where you can practice joining the Mile High Club.

What sort of weirdos like to hang around in airports? They are the modern day Greyhound and Continental Trailways bus terminals.
Give the new airport 10 years and it will be a rundown shithole like everything KC maintains. Any bet on how long those bars and restaurants last? |

Every time I fly into Las Vegas airport I get to see the very beautiful artwork(pictured). KC could adapt to something similar.

TBH, I wasn't impressed with the Vegas airport. Yeah, they had slot machines but the food/beverage options were lame. I expected something better.

I'm gonna make max use out of the sensory room experience. Aaron Rodgers might fly in just for that.

KCI is super convenient, you're just steps from being outside, where you can then call someone to drive 30+ minutes to pick you up! |

It's never about "art vs. no art" or "art vs. pot holes or homeless", it's about "quality work vs. quackery". I won't try to decide that here from pictures, I just hope these turn out to be of greater quality and interest than the old "oil running down the string" piece at the old Blue Ridge Mall.
