DENVER, CO — March 14, 2013 — Travelers passing through the A Concourse at Denver International Airport have a new visual wonder to experience on the way to their flights.
Relax, a new public artwork, is now on display at the airport. The artist team called Electroland installed the 1,300-square-foot display, comprised of five sequential illuminated panels at the east end of A gates in the lower level. Each individual image was inspired by the beauty and surprise of the airport experience.
“An airport is an ecosystem that surrounds the visitors with many ‘voices,’ with signage to warn, entice and give directions,” Electroland artist Cameron McNall said. “Our artwork uses strong graphic elements to mimic and comment artistically on these different voices, while also adding some humor and beauty.”
Each of the five bays along the concourse contains a different feature, including a wall that lights up to reveal the word “relax,” a giant picture of a tropical beach scene with moving water, a corridor with floor-to-ceiling mirrors on both sides and a bay featuring clouds with changing colors and the words “arrival” and “departure.”
“These wonderful pieces of art will help brighten up an area of the airport that is more known for its utility than for its beauty,” said Kim Day, Manager of Aviation. “Relax will enhance the passenger experience along the A Concourse and add to DIA’s reputation for having world-class public art.”
