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. :-)

Spoken like a fat old over emotional woman. Fox4KC a few weeks back went into the downtown police 911 dispatch and paned the room. Nothing but obese women with 40+ ounce mugs probably full of soda pop at their work station. Which obese woman were you? [Reply]

Keep posting through it man. You’re going to get on the other end of this I promise. And when you do a cell phone lot will be right there waiting for you at our new airport. [Reply]
I wonder if Zach and stevie ever get together to strategize about creating drama and conflict around here, but then also play it off like they're enemies to just create more conflict and drama.
One calls CP racist... the other calls KC hillbillies. Two peas from the same pod, really. [Reply]

It’s so easy to drive people here insane. I don’t understand stand why they allow my heel turn to thrive so effortlessly.
Though clinging to the old airport is some funny backwater “I live in Oak Grove but have a lot of opinions of how Kansas City should be run” energy. [Reply]
