Jacksonville International Airport Permanent Art Collection

Gotta Go

Two new concourses are currently being constructed at Jacksonville International Airport. Gordon Huether of Napa, California was chosen to address the large arched windows at either end of each concourse.

Huether will create an illusion of a male traveler on one end of the concourse and a female traveler on the other end, both walking across the tarmac. The travelers are monumental, vibrant and animated, standing over 35 feet tall and they “Gotta Go”.

Each larger than life traveler will be carrying a travel bag that has a map of the immediate Jacksonville area on the bag. This area has an intense color zone of dichroic coating. The dichroic coating fluctuates in color from red to blue to yellow, depending on the time of day and angle of viewing, making the Jacksonville map “passively kinetic”.

Gotta Go will be installed fall of 2008. For more information on Gordon Huether please visit www.gordonhuether.com.
