A bit of local lure goes national with Hyperallergic's recent piece on DIA. The airport is considering getting rid of the maintenance-heavy
Interior Garden, which is a great excuse to bring up the old trope about aliens and Satan-worshippers being part of DIA's grand plan. Again.
There is good info about the endangered pice:
"The airport’s art has been in the news recently because an installation by
Michael Singer, “Interior Garden” (1995) — commissioned for the opening of the airport itself — was
flagged by management as an expensive liability. This led to outcry against the
proposed deaccessioning of the work, with the public
weighing in on the piece’s value for the airport and the city."
And some nonsense, that's always worth repeating, probably because nothing more interesting ever really happens at DIA:
"Conspiratorial “experts” like
Jay Weidner assert that the airport’s murals and capstone
prove the existence of a secret government plan for a “New World Order.” Others
implicate the airport in the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. One local Evangelical Christian group,
Cephas Ministries,
claimed that the DIA was built as part of a plot to murder the “people that Lucifer hates.”
