Call to Artists - Seattle, WA + King County Correctional Facility Lobby (2 projects)
September 15, 2008
Information: www.4culture.org
4Culture is seeking an artist or artists from WA, OR, or BC (Canada) that can make the experience of visiting the King County Correctional Facility lobby more enjoyable for the hundreds of people that pass through it each day. The building already includes two major exterior integrated works: Martha Schwartz’ Jail House Garden and Benson Shaw’s Torus Torum. Both were installed when the building was constructed.
ARTIST MADE SEATING ELEMENTS
Functional seating elements that can improve the legibility of reception functions, comfortably accommodate conversation, and help bridge the lobby’s disparate design elements are desired to replace existing wooden benches.
STAIRWELL & PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY
Integrated low-relief sculpture, murals, large-scale photographic prints, or light-based works are desired to activate the main passage between the first two floors of the building. This includes open space on either side of the facility’s public stairwell, landing wall, and west wall at the top of the stairwell facing an elevated pedestrian walkway. Artists with experience addressing a site-specific context and integrating their works into an architectural environment are encouraged to apply.
Desired artwork will honor the activities of the jail, inspire hope, and introduce a sense of humanity and care to the currently chilly, institutional finish. Selected artist(s) will be expected to coordinate with personnel to determine security requirements
