Call for Artists: King County International Airport

Call for Artists: King County International Airport

This Deadline Expired: Tuesday, November 5, 2019

4Culture and the King County International Airport/ Boeing Field (KICA) seek an artist to develop a 2-dimensional artwork that will be translated to metal panels. Metal panels will be installed along the KCIA Security fence (see Exhibit A). The artwork will create a strong visual element in its siting adjacent to the planned public access road to the Georgetown Steamplant Museum (GSPM). The selected artist will have the opportunity to create a design that is influenced by the rich history and contextual narrative of the surrounding neighborhoods, communities, industry, and Duwamish River basin.

The artist design fee will cover creation of a unique, site specific artwork in the form of a high resolution digital file. The final dimensions are being confirmed, but the completed artwork will be approximately 8 feet tall x 80 feet long. 4Culture will select the fabricator and manage the fabrication, oversite and installation of the artwork making this an ideal project for an emerging artist.

Matthew Borgen's recent work utilizes imagery from comic books published during the mid-20th century — the genre’s so-called golden age. Using their visual conventions, nostalgic aura, and narrative structure in combination with images borrowed from art history and other popular cultural sources, Borgen has developed a hybrid visual language which he uses in his digital prints and wall installations to make comment on topics ranging from historical, formal strategies of artmaking to issues within the current political and social discourse.

My interest in glass and found objects has allowed me to re-immerse myself in the world of toys, this time with a more mature twist. As I refer to my most sacred toys, I try to evoke universal images. There is a compelling irony as I create symbolic toys, which ask to be touched and manipulated, from glass, an extremely fragile material. I manipulate glass, recycle and integrate it with well-worn artifacts from the past, which are often perceived as useless in today's culture. This gives discarded items renewed purpose. As we interact tentatively with these objects they take us back to our most early memories while connecting us to other societies and eras.

Domestic textiles are imbued with the spirit of my imagined foremothers - emblazoned with positive affirmations – as if the spirit of the maker comes to life and offers solace and support. Carole is the caretaker of these thrifted and found objects and the messenger from which their stories flow.
