공항에서의 경험이 놀라움과 기대로 바뀐다면 어떨까? 뉴욕의 라과디아 공항 아트 프로젝트는 그런 의미에서 방문객에게 새로운 시각적 환경을 제공하고자 계획했다. 라과디아 공항은 맨해튼에서 13km 거리의 퀸스에 자리한 뉴욕의 3대 공항 중 하나로, 뉴욕과 미 전역을 이어주는 관문이다. 21세기 여행 기준에 맞춰 공항을 새롭게 변신시키고자 터미널 B의 시설을 대대적으로 개편했으며, 그중에서도 이번 아트 프로젝트는 새로운 출발 편과 도착 편 홀을 중심으로 변화를 꾀했다.

이번 공항 프로젝트를 기획한 라과디아 게이트웨이 파트너스(LaGuardia Gateway Partners)와 손잡고 예술 작품의 커미션을 담당한 것은 뉴욕의 비영리 재단 퍼블릭 아트 펀드(Public Art Fund)다. 평소 세계적 작가들과 일하며 뉴욕 센트럴 파크 및 모이니한 트레인 홀 등 다양한 공공장소에 작품을 선보여온 퍼블릭 아트 펀드. 이번에 이들은 네 명의 작가에게 뉴욕에서의 개인적 경험을 녹여낼 것을 요청했다. 그 가운데 형태와 내용 면에서 네 작가의 작품 속에 흐르는 공통된 감각은 중력에서 해방된 듯한 ‘존재의 가벼움(lightness of being)‘이다. 여행에 대한 기대를 부추기는 데 이보다 더 좋은 콘셉트가 또 있을까?
