1. SUBMISSION OF QUALIFICATIONS
Applicants are encouraged to visit the site prior to submission. Qualification submittals are due 11:59 pm Mountain Time Zone, June 10, 2016. All applicants must digitally submit the following below via callforentry.org link.
Application is open to all professional artists world wide. Artists or teams can submit qualifications for all commissions. An artist who applies as a team member may also apply as an individual. All PhD, Undergraduate and Graduate students are not eligible.
3. INTERNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (IRC) and COMPETITION JURY
The IRC will complete the initial applicant review. IRC will read qualification submissions and deliberate to narrow field of applicants. IRC will recommend a shortlist to advance to RFP design-concept competition phase. 21 potential individual artists/teams will be advanced; averaging 3 artists/teams per 7 sites. All advanced teams will receive stipend, be required for an initial site visit and will be interviewed by the selection committee.
4. MEDIUM
All types of medium allowed (2D, 3D). Upload digital .jpg images to represent your work. Minimum media: 5, Maximum media: 10
5. SITE
To facilitate the approximately 7,000 parking spaces, a new Joint-Use Consolidated Rental Car/Parking Facility and ATS Station at O’Hare airport will be constructed on a new 33 acre site located in the east side of Mannheim Road and north of Zemke Boulevard, in the area currently used as the long-term public parking Lot F. The JUF will be a multimodal transportation center combining airline, light rail transit, suburban rail, bus, shuttle, as well as both rental and privately owned vehicles at one location to facilitate travel within the Chicago metropolitan area and to destinations throughout the world. At approximately 500,000 square feet per floor, the facility will become one of the largest structures in the Midwest with over 3 million gross square feet. The functional and visual focal point of the building is the Customer Service Center (CSC) and the Airport Transit System (ATS) station. The design combines these two operations into one space that creates for all practical purposes another “terminal” for the airport. The ATS will serve to transfer rental car and parking customers and bus riders to and from the four passenger terminals. It is estimated there will be approximately 1.5 million visitors per month, giving the artist a large opportunity to display their artwork to international travelers.
6. VISION
The new facility will house an opportunity for seven spaces for artists/teams to compete to display their new innovative ideas for public art. Considering the large daily traffic through the structure (an estimated 1.5 million people per month), this serves as an opportunity for artists to display their effort and interpretation of public art related to the site. The selection process of proposals will be led by panel of professional arts administrators, curators, arts leaders and city officials.
7. BUDGET
The budget has not been determined yet. The information regarding the budget will not be released until the RFP (Request for Proposal) phase. Any new information received will be properly reflected on this application page.
