When you go to the airport, you might wonder what images that appear to show a post-apocalyptic world with dying animals have to do with a flying experience at one of Denver’s top economic drivers.
But in the years since Denver International Airport has opened, it’s best not to question the public art … unless you’re a conspiracy theorist, at which point you’re likely asking why us “sheeple” are writing about this clear distraction that's aimed at making us not focus on the tunnels.

Regardless, DIA has started its massive renovation of the Great Hall, and this means that – per city rules – it must spend 1 percent of the budget on new public art. And they’re now calling for submissions.
What does this mean? The airport could spend up to $4 million on new installations. The goal is to have one artist do the whole thing. Of course, this budget doesn’t go directly into the artist’s pocket. That’s for the work too – which is supposed to last for as long as possible, so maybe don’t make it out of the same stuff they make smartphones out of.
A selection panel will consider the submissions and narrow down finalists.
To apply, you need to submit a resume (so maybe be an actual artist), a statement of interest (saying you’d like preferential admission into the bunkers come the apocalypse might not show you’re serious about the project), and images of past work.
You have to submit your entry by 9/28/18. You can see more information about applying here: https://bit.ly/2MjVp81
For what it’s worth, DIA already has a giant, demonic horse statue, so try to be original and maybe make something else.
Or riff off of it. In the submission guidelines, DIA wrote: “DEN has a long history of controversy and conspiracy theories and embraces the mystique and humor that corresponds.”
SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT WAY TO ACT LIKE NOTHING’S GOING ON WHEN SOMETHING’S TOTALLY GOING ON.
Anyone, here’s my submission. DIA loved it! So maybe don’t apply, because it sounds like they’ve made up their mind:
