RADIANT FOUNTAINS A set of three sculptures by artist Dennis Oppenheim, was commissioned by the Houston Arts Alliance for the Houston Airport System. The work serves as an icon visible to motorists upon leaving Bush Intercontinental Airport and entering the City of Houston. Each 60’ tower is wrapped in animated LEDs that begin as droplets plunging downward and then radiate out in a seemingly endless upward flow of light and spectacle. Metalab performed fabrication consultation and construction management orchestrating installation of the sculptures that tower over the main approach to the airport.

SHOWERSHADE
Designed by New York based installation artist Chris Doyle, is a Percent for Art project located at the City of Austin’s new Public Safety Training Facility. This permanent installation was designed as a modest, open-air shelter and includes a roof mural that was made through CNC cut perforations to the corrugated stainless steel canopy. The pavilion and canopy were fabricated and pre-assembled in Houston and shipped to Austin as a kit-of-parts that require minimal site work.
