This project is part of a larger CDOT expansion project and the city is creating
this interchange as a gateway. The artwork consists of a “stand” of 18 Corten
steel tree inspired sculptures in three heights: 22’, 13’, 12’. Sculptures will be
strategically placed on the top plateaus on both the north and south sides of East
Prospect Road, just east of the on- and off-ramps connecting to I-25. They will
be visible from the highway but mostly viewed by cars entering and exiti ng the
highway. The artist will work with the landscape architect on placement of the
sculptures in the landscape.

c) 215 N. MASON ST. LOBBY RENOVATION
Ms. Martin presented the upcoming project. The lobby at 215 N. Mason St.
building will be redesigned for use by the Municipal Court and this will affect the
location of the existing APP artwork, Municipal Axis by Rafe Ropek.
Staff discussed options to address the need to remove and perhaps relocate the
artwork including the option to involve the artist that created the sculpture. The
Board discussed the options and agreed that there is value in leveraging the
existing work, if possible. The artwork is valuable and there will be a small APP
budget with the new project. If the artist isn’t interested in being involved in the
project, the artwork will return to the board to deaccession.
Ms. Powers moved that with the understanding that the lobby of 215 will undergo
a remodel to recommend the artist Rafe Ropek be consulted for the project
Ms. Shuff seconded
Unanimously approved.
