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. :-)
Does the new MCI have any direct flights to Belize? Been thinking about taking my girlfriend Margot Robbie there for a sexcation. Yeah we have lots of sex. [Reply]
Guess I am not the only one who is disgusted with the design.
At least a half mile line waiting in standstill traffic to enter the airport and pick people up right now. What a disaster. Terrible design, and no one is forcing drivers to make loops and/or go to the cell lot. Draft is going to be a NIGHTMARE there. Will be an absolute zoo.

Yes all the people coming in for the draft getting picked up by peepaw from Sedalia who thinks a cell lot is similar to a blood bank is going to wreak havoc [Reply]

O/U on number of rednecks waving pistols sitting in line next week?
I don't know what constraints they faced because of trying to build a new terminal while using the old ones.
But it is pretty clear they didn't do enough traffic lanes for pick up. They should have added at least another 4~6 lanes where the ride hailing and shuttles are. [Reply]
Zach is gonna fix this from that fat shack KCPD dispatch center. That news crew did a live feed and panned room. Cubes of obese women with various dyed hair colors of pink purple and red most all had a 60 oz refillable QT soda on the desk. You still have not answered me what fat obese woman were you? [Reply]

Nothing needs to be fixed, it is already fixed. Sorry the modern airport is so confusing and it's making you act out in this thread. We will drag you to the present times though friend. You are going to make it through this I believe in you. [Reply]
