Description

THEME
As artists, we are challenged to capture a moment in time, a split second communicated as a visual suggestion of motion. Whether through line, texture, contrast, patterns, or color, we use all kinds of methods to translate movement in our art. Motion in artwork also helps the viewer's eye move from one part of the piece to the next. Rhythm and flow can be implied through capturing movement as the work itself or how we are supposed to move within the piece. Show us MOTION from your perspective.

7/14/2022

Description

4Culture, in partnership with King County Metro Transit, seeks a professional artist or artist team to develop a series of retaining wall treatments and small sculptures –unified by concept, scale, and (durable) media– for permanent installation at up to a dozen bus stations and adjacent points of interest along the new RapidRide I Line corridor, which will connect the King County, WA cities of Renton, Kent, and Auburn. The 17-mile alignment promises to serve a huge diversity of people and places and encompasses at least thirteen different language groups in its ridership.

This opportunity is about elevating local histories and cultures by telling a story that unfolds over space and time. Stations, where riders begin and end their journeys, provide unique environments for sculptural intervention. Each I Line station will be distinct – designed to accommodate specific needs and passenger volumes. Some will see more than 350 people during peak hours and feature amenities like shelters, benches, bike racks, signage, card readers, leaning rails, lighting, and more. They will be experienced up close, day after day by those using public transit and by passersby on foot, bike, and in vehicles in motion. How might little artworks add BIG moments of surprise and joy to these otherwise utilitarian places?

Nearby retaining walls, that will be constructed at the same time as the stations, offer possibilities for creative engagement as well. Complementary patterns, textures and/or imagery on these surfaces may enhance conceptual depth or help further narratives shaped by the sculptures.

Budget: $525,000 ($100,000 design, $425,000 implementation; budget is inclusive of travel and WA Sales/Use Tax).

Project term: September 2022—September 2026.

Eligibility: open to professional artists, working independently or as a team with a solid history of collaboration, that reside in the United States. Some travel to King County, WA is expected.

Deadline: Wednesday, July 13, 2022 by 4:00 pm PDT. Please allow ample time to complete and upload your application; applications will not be accepted after the deadline.

How to Apply
