GREENVILLE SPARTANBURG AIRPORT DISTRICT CALL TO ARTISTS FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST INVITATION The Greenville Spartanburg Airport District (“District”) is requesting ‘Expressions of Interest’ from professional artists who would like to compete for a commission of an art installation at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (“GSP”). The District is currently undertaking a major addition, renovation, and modernization project at GSP and the inclusion of new artwork is an important part of this project. The report describing the opportunity ‘GSP Art Program” is available either online at www.gspairport.com, or in hard copy at the District located at 2000 GSP Drive, Suite 1, Greer, SC 29651. This report describes the three themes chosen for the artwork and the opportunities at the twelve potential sites. ARTIST SELECTION PROCESS The ‘Expression of Interest’ (EOI) and the subsequent ‘Request for Proposals’ (RFP) will be undertaken by an Artist Selection Panel and will occur in two stages. The Selection Panel will be comprised of individuals representing the following areas: Art Consultant, Architect, Artistic Community, GSP Airport Commissioners, and staff. The panel will review all submissions and short list up to three artists for each site who will be asked to provide a detailed sketch or maquette, budget, time schedule and other pertinent information. Each of the short listed artist(s) teams will receive a presentation fee of $500 to complete this phase. Upon review of the short listed presentations, the Selection Panel will recommend one artist(s) team for each site. However, if no submission warrants consideration, the Artist Selection Panel reserves the right not to award a commission. SELECTION PROCESS AND CRITERIA Phase I – Expression of Interest The submissions will be reviewed and decision on the short list made based on:
• Compliance with the Public Art Call requirements • Artist(s) team previous artistic experience (based on supplied images) • Appropriateness of the applicants artistic medium and style for the project site • Potential for distinctive, site specific outcome
Phase 2 – Proposals The presentations of the short listed artists will be reviewed and decisions made based on:
• Appropriateness of the concept and design for the site • Thematic connection with the Art considerations noted in the GSP Art Program • Interview and presentation of the proposed project concept • Artist(s) ability to work co-operatively with members of the design team • Interview of Artists references
ELIGIBILITY The Public Art Call invites expressions of interest from professional Artists or Artist Teams that have proven experience working on site specific public art projects. The successful Artist(s) will be required to work closely with Art Consultants, the Project Design Team and with other design and or construction consultants as required within established technical and maintenance parameters. Residency in South Carolina is a consideration, but not a requirement. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions are to be limited to a maximum of three letter-size pages, whether digital or hard copy. The first page should identify the name, place of residence, contact information and a brief resume of the Artist, as well as a brief narrative describing any significant accomplishments that may be relevant to the ATB Project. The second (and if necessary, third) page should consist of a selection of images that are representative of the Artist’s work. Links may be provided to websites if available, however the materials upon which the selection committee will base their decisions will be the three pages noted above. Note that design proposals are not required, or accepted, in this submission. Specific design proposals are part of the next stage of selection – The Request for Proposals.

1GSP International Airport | Art Program
1.0 Introduction
To complement the renovations and improvements currently under construction at the Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District (District)has initiated a program for the selection, commissioning and installation of art. In this document the word” art” is meant to encompass all of the visual arts, including 2-dimensional artwork, 3-dimensional sculpture, multi-media and digital installations, and potentially sound-installations.
To facilitate this process an Artwork Selection committee consisting of GSP Airport Commission members, GSP Airport District Staff, and other community stakeholders has been formed, and Stantec, with a specialty in this sector, has been retained to assist the committee with administering the program.
The purpose of this report is to outline the principles behind the selection of art for airports, to describe the themes developed for guiding the art at GSP, and to describe thespecific sites available for the program, together with the constraints and opportunities at each site. This document is the centerpiece of the Request for Qualifications and Request for Proposals that goes out to the art community.
Sophisticated art programs are now an integral part of most airport terminal developments.. Some of these programs are more successful than others and the following is a brief description of the guiding principles behind the successful ones.
An airport is not an art gallery. An art gallery is a stress-free, serene, contemplative environment in which art is typically the destination and central experience. Furthermore, art in an art gallery is often selected to be intellectually challenging. An Airport, on the other hand, is a busy and often stressful environment, in which air-travel is the central experience. For art in an airport environment to be successful, it needs to have immediate appeal to passengers, to be engaging, and to complement and enhance the various air-travel processes. Passengers’ level of interest and knowledge of art varies widely. A successful airport art installation therefore needs to be:
• Well positioned, in order to attract attention, without impeding the flow of passengers • Well scaled and well lit in relationship to the airport environment• ’Accessible’, engaging and interesting to a broad range of the public• Both physically and artistically robust – in order to ensure a long and maintenance- free life.
In addition to its aesthetic and artistic role, the art installations can also serve broader functions. Strategically located along the flow of passengers, art can function as a “wayfinding” device, and can create easily-remembered meeting places (“Meet me at the Boy Aviator”) The art can also make the significant contribution to the Airport’s ‘Sense of Place’. “Sense of Place” in this context refers to the way in which the airport creates a meaningful and authentic connection to residents and visitors alike, feels like home, and is an integral part of the local culture and community. This is achieved by commissioning artists that are either from the region or demonstrate an affinity to it, by requiring the commissioned
2 Stantec
or selected artwork to reinforce themes that are relevant to the region and community, and by the coordination of the art with the colours , materials and architectural expression of the building.As noted above, this Sense of Place can best be realized if there is a consistent theme, or set of themes, that link the artworks throughout the building to appropriate aspects of the region and community. For GSP the following three potential themes have been identified that are authentic and uniquely identified with the region and community:
Where we live – integration of water and landscape The Greenville-Spartanburg region, and in particular the airport, has made a commitment to landscape and water that is unique and distinctive. It is appropriate that this commitment is celebrated in one of the key themes that we have selected for the GSP art program.
Where we’ve come from - textile capital of the world historically the region achieved global recognition and stature as a center of textile manufacture, and it is therefore appropriate that this history forms another one of the key themes for the GSP art program
Where we’re going to – technology and mobilityThis theme is about the future of the region, and its pre-eminence as a North American center of technological innovation with specific reference to the automobile industry. This future state forms our third key theme for the GSP art program.
Our objective in describing these three themes is to remove the selection and commission of artwork from the subjective realm and to provide specific and objective guidelines for prospective artists and sculptors. Any prospective artist or sculptor submitting concepts for the GSP art program will be required to demonstrate how their proposed concepts support one or more of the above themes. These themes are described in more detail in the following pages. After a description of each theme, we have provided photographs of precedents that are not intended to be taken literally, but are intended to illustrate ways in which the themes have been translated into reality in other airports or contexts.

2.0 themes
South Carolina and the Greenville / Spartanburg area have a strong cultural history and a dynamic contemporary forward-looking community. This is recognized in the broad reach of the three selected themes for the art program at GSP. As noted previously, the winners in the selection process will be those who convincingly demonstrate how their proposed concepts communicate one or more of the themes in a manner that responds to the demands of an airport environment, at a scale and to a level of quality consistent with a 21st century international airport terminal.
Water and Landscape
Textile Capitol of the World
Technology and Mobility

Landscape Imagery from the Region
Theme 1 : WATeR AND LANDSCAPe
The first theme, ‘Where we live – the integration of water and landscape’ speaks to the beautiful natural backdrop of the area – the seven rivers, the forested valleys and the blue mountains in the distance. This theme spans the time from the villages of the first inhabitants and settlers through to the present. It is already well realized in the airport – with the beautiful forest drive, the fountains and pools and the unique airside garden. This theme is also well represented in the gardens and water-features that can be found in Greenville and Spartanburg respectively.

Theme 2 : TeXTILe CAPITAL OF The WORLD
The second theme, ‘Where we have been – the textile capital of the world’ provides the opportunity to celebrate a unique aspect of the region’s history that was once recognized world-wide, to encourage innovative concepts that meld textiles and art, and to bring some vibrant colour into the GSP art program.

Technology & Mobility Theme
Theme 3 : TeChNOLOGy & mOBILITy
The third theme, ‘Where we are going – technology and mobility’, extrapolates the current foundation of the South Carolina economy into the future. The state and this county in particular, is the centre of a highly developed technical and automotive design and production industry, strongly supported by a large number of corporate headquarters and an equally impressive number of colleges and universities. This particular theme lends itself to the potential for video and electronic presentations. While digital artwork can become dated, there are precedents that have stood the test of time. The media installation in Chicago O’hare’s tunnel connecting B and C concourses is probably the best-known example.

3.0 Sites
The proposed art sites at GSP have been divided into four categories. The ‘A’ designated sites are those where artwork is already installed or is firmly committed. This includes the bronze figures in the airside pools and the ‘ Boy Aviator’. While clearly not part of this proposal call, these works do set the context and, when the new works are installed, will form an integral part of the experience of art at the airport.
The ‘B’ sites are the new locations, four in total, that provide the most prominent opportunities at the airport. The expectation is that artwork will be commissioned for each of these sites.
The ‘C’ sites are an additional seven opportunities. Less prominent than the A sites, artwork may be selected for these locations, dependent on the quality of the proposals and the budgets available.
The ‘D‘ sites are located along the east wall of the second level holdrooms. Rather than site specific commissions, these wall panels will be set aside for rotating, curated exhibitions. Four of these sites will be for wall mounted displays of paintings or photographs, and four will be glass vitrines for the installation of three dimensional or more delicate works.
In addition to these art sites, locations have been selected for commercial advertising.By developing the art and advertising plans in parallel, these installations are intended to complement rather than compete with one another. In order for the advertising program to enhance the art program and vice versa, the design team has proposed that the advertising program be structured in a manner that requires advertisers to provide imagery in their advertisements that supports one or more of the above themes.

SITE A3 : ThE SouTh PYRAMID ‘BoY AvIAToR’
CONTeXTThe site is the triangular glass bay, two stories high, directly on axis with the circulation core for Concourse A. A square pool, in black granite, provides the setting for the “Boy Aviator”, an existing bronze sculpture of a boy with his toy airplane. A second, suspended sculpture entitled “Flock of Geese” will be installed above the Boy Aviator. This sculpture came from the old terminal, and has historical and sentimental value.
COLOURS & mATeRIALSThe adjacent flooring is in porcelain tile. The pool lining and parapet are in polished black granite. The two sided glass bay is a white curtain wall, with white plaster walls flanking and a white plaster ceiling, accented with a chevron light pattern.
Plan Dennis Smith 2004, GSP
GSP International Airport | Art Program 19
CONSTRAINTSThe sculpture will be strongly backlit by the morning light. While the short view is of the landside curb and roadways, the longer view is of the colonnade of trees.
OPPORTUNITIeSThis is one of the most prominent sites in the airport. Sight lines to the sculpture for arriving passengers on the escalator are dramatic. It is the logical meeting place for meeters and greeters and passengers arriving or departing from Concourse A. In order to improve this setting it is proposed to add a blue film to the glass - opaque at the base fading to translucent then clear above the boys head.
PReCeDeNTSNot applicable, given that this site is complete

3.2 Site B
CONTeXT
This site is identical to Site A3. It is located in the landside concourse opposite the circulation core to Concourse B. It is two stories high and the footprint is 26 feet square, set at 45 degrees to the orthogonal grid of the ATB. The cost of the pool, planned for the space, will be borne by the GSP
COLOURS AND mATeRIALS
It is also enclosed with the two story white curtain wall, flanked by white plaster walls, with a plaster ceiling adjacent, accented with a chevron light pattern.
CONSTRAINTS
As with Site A3, this space is backlit with the morning light. The short view is to the landside curb, however the longer view is of the colonnade of live oaks.
OPPORTUNITIeS
This is a highly prominent site. Provisions are already in place for the installation of a pool, although it need not take the same form as the pool at Site A. The opportunity exists here for a dramatic integration of art and water.

SITe B2 : The BAGGAGe CLAIm LOBBy
Site Photographs
CONTeXT
This site is the long upper wall above the baggage carousels in the Baggage Claim Lobby. It is 9 feet high by 124 feet long. Immediately adjacent is the clerestory window to the south.
COLOURS AND mATeRIALS
This is a white plaster wall, immediately below the white painted precast concrete ceiling structure with its wooden cloud. The adjacent wall is glass with a close up view of the tree canopy in the garden.
CONSTRAINTS
Located directly above the carousels, the viewpoints are necessarily at some distance, so any finer detail would not be perceived.
OPPORTUNITIeS
The dimensions of this site allow for a dramatic installation. The adjacent ‘green’ wall of the tree canopy could provide an interesting neighbor or starting point for this piece. This is a highly visible site, with potentially long passenger and meeter/greeter dwell times. The length of the wall may be excessive for a single continuous installation, in which case alternatives such as a triptych could be considered. A three dimensional installation would also provide a more dynamic view from the concourse.

SITe B3 & B4 : SeCURITy QUeUING NORTh & SOUTh
CONTeXT
On the second level adjacent to the queuing area to security, provisions are in place for a floor to ceiling water wall 10 feet high. The cost of this element will be borne by the GSP, not the artist, whose work will be integrated with this.
COLOURS AND mATeRIALS
The flooring is porcelain tile and the ceiling white painted precast concrete.
CONSTRAINTS
While this is a large wall site when the terminal is busy and the queue line full at certain times of the day, there will be no long vistas to the artwork. Concepts for these sites need to integrate with the water walls that have already been designed.
OPPORTUNITIeS
Passengers in the queue will have some time to appreciate the art in this location. The imagery of the art could be etched in the glass of the waterwall, or there could be elements suspended in front, with the waterwall itself – in stone, tile or glass – as a back drop.

SITe C1 : eLeVATOR PANeLS SOUTh
Site Photographs
CONTeXTThere are two identical inset panels above elevators leading from the landside concourse on the first level up to security and the passenger holdrooms. These backlit glass panels are each approximately 9 feet wide by 11 feet high and highly visible to departing passengers and meeters and greeters.
mATeRIALS AND COLOURSCurrently each panel is composed of five horizontal panes of backlit translucent glass set in a brushed aluminum frames. The surrounding wall is travertine in variegated shades of beige. The gypsum wallboard ceiling above is white with a dramatic lighting pattern in the shape of two chevrons.
CONSTRAINTSThe current configuration is complete and could simply be left in place as an architectural feature. Alternatively, the artwork could consist of panels that respect the existing five horizontal panes, or could be set in front of them. Significant investment has been made in the translucent backlit panels already installed. Concepts for these panels will be preferred that respect the existing investment.
OPPORTUNITIeSThis is a highly visible location, with a captive audience waiting for the elevator. As the lighting is already in place, this lends itself to film adhered to the existing glass, or an art-glass installation in front of the existing panels. Should a particularly compelling concept require the existing glazing to be abandoned and a new work installed in its place, this could be considered.

This is large wall, 60 feet wide by 12 feet high, at the north end of the ticketing hall. It has a row of clerestory windows above, looking into the adjacent conference room.
COLOURS AND mATeRIALS
This is currently a white painted plaster wall, with the porcelain tile flooring of the concourse below and the white painted concrete ceiling with the wooden cloud above.
CONSTRAINTS
This wall may be moved with the future expansion so any installation here should also be capable of relocating.
OPPORTUNITIeS
This site has excellent sight lines, both from a distance down the concourse and from closer in. This site is well suited to a large scale work. This site offers the potential for a “living wall” installation.

SITe C4 : AIRSIDe INTeRSeCTION SOUTh
CONTeXT
At the turning point for arriving passengers from Concourse A there is the opportunity for an inlaid floor piece, in tile, stone or metal. Located at the foot of the escalator from the level three holdrooms, there is a reasonable view of this site for descending passengers.
mATeRIALS AND COLOURS
The surrounding floor is ceramic tile and the ceiling white painted precast concrete.
CONSTRAINTS
Passengers at this point are in full flow to the exit and are unlikely to pause. Any installation needs to be sufficiently robust to withstand daily foot-traffic, cleaning and the impact of any carts or maintenance equipment.
OPPORTUNITIeS
This site lends itself to a mosaic or terrazzo treatment.

SITe C6 & C7 : CONCeSSION hALL POOLS
CONTeXT
Flanking the centre axis of the Concession hall there is the provision for two raised pools of4 feet by 16 feet each. This space is designed as a garden courtyard, with the clock tower, indoor trees and a generous view to the airside gardens, pools and sculpture ( sites A1 and A2 ). The food and beverage seating is immediately adjacent.
mATeRIALS AND COLOURS
The flooring is ceramic tile, the high curved ceiling is clad in wood and the clock tower is in limestone.
CONSTRAINTS
This is an active busy place with considerable visual competition.
OPPORTUNITIeS
While these two sites could be considered for separate commissions, their close proximity and mirrored symmetry lends itself well to an integrated pair of works. The direct connection to the outdoor pools and sculpture suggests a dialogue with those existing pieces.

SITe D1 to D4 : PASSeNGeR hOLDROOmS
CONTeXT
On the wall along the east side of the passenger holdrooms in Concourses A and B there is a series of sixteen recessed niches set between full height windows. each niche is approximately 14’ by 6’-6”. A stone wainscotting is planned for each. The concept is to alternate art and advertising within each niche.
mATeRIALS AND COLOUR
There is ceramic tile flooring in the concourse, with the white painted concrete beams above and the wooden cloud in a flat configuration. The wainscoting is travertine.
CONSTRAINTS
The dimensions and detailing of the vitrines are to be developed.
OPPORTUNITIeS
This is an excellent opportunity for rotating art displays and for cultural exhibitions – for local ballet, theatre, etc. Departing passengers will have significant dwell time here. The GSP may also consider freestanding vitrines in the seating area.
