The word is the Terminal C area.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
Initial selections for the art pieces have been unveiled:

The sketch up screenshots don’t seem like they do some of them justice. (No surprise.)
Looking at the previous work of the arrivals escalator piece’s artist, her stuff has some real vibrancy to it.

I'm cool with whatever Nick Cave wants to invent.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
I don’t think it’s Nick Cave of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. I think it’s this guy:

He’s done similar pieces to what’s proposed here:

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
Nick Cave seems like a significant get, excited about all of them but particularly him.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
I like them all. The fountain kind of has a hidden jesus cross in it though? I was hoping for a little cooler fountain one.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
The installations look pretty neat. This is really coming along. Seems like a lot of people are still upset about replacing the old terminals on social media. Maybe they will finally see the light after they are able to use it.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
To me, it's disappointing that the fountain is "fake" (not an actual water installation). So I guess the City Of Fountains will not have a water feature in its 1.5 Billion airport after all.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 2:11 pm I like them all.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
I’d like to see a distinctive fountain of some kind at the entrance of the single terminal as well. I know there’s already a fountain/art piece on the entrance road into the airport but something right at the terminal entrance that functions year-round would be nice. Maybe someone/family with major funds could donate it to the city like the Bloch fountain in front of Union Station.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
I like that the non-water fountain is kinetic. Water would have been cool but we all know it was a pipe dream filled with maintenance problems. Make a cool Bellagio water cannon one outside.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
Nick Cave is a HUGE get -- he is one of the major darlings of the art world today. He also has deep, local ties. I coveted his early soundsuits (should have bought one!)
The NY arts magazine Bomb did a feature on him a while ago:

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
They shouldn't even call it a fountain at this point. It has zero relationship to a fountain, not even in basic form. It's a generic, cheap, cookie cutter looking piece of "modern" "art" that thousands of people will zoom right past every day without even noticing.mistervinix wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 7:49 amTo me, it's disappointing that the fountain is "fake" (not an actual water installation).

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
I don't mean to be ugly, but his "fountain" reminds me of Rita Blitt's sculptures. Not a fan. To me, it's Johnson County expressed in sculpture. Does not say Kansas City. Give me Nick Cave, please.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
That should be roundly mocked until some money is found to install a fountain. For the City of Fountains not to have a decent fountain in its' airport is an embarrassment.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!
Maybe we just need a new shtick? We're the "city of fountains", but sometimes it feels like what we really mean is "Have you seen the Nichols fountain!?" No one is going to mistake our oversized automobile landscape as an Eden of green and calming fountains.
Recently had to disappoint a colleague from Argentina who heard we were the Paris of the Plains because of all of our boulevards. We looked at Grand, then we looked at Meyer, then we looked at Linwood and I said "For sure. This one has a Home Depot and Costco, just like Pah-ree!"
Also I've recently become biased against water features after learning how much energy they consume.
