1 Art Chronicles
by Alex Sweetman
“Art Chronicles” is a photographic series based on the evolution of the construction of the airport and the artist’s experience as an observer. Through seven large photomurals and a series of 100 archival photographs documenting the construction process, the installation of the public art commissions, and the physical environment of the high prairie, the artist has created a record of this important chapter in the history of the region.
2 America, Why I Love Her
by Gary Sweeney
“America, Why I Love Her” Every few months during the artist’s childhood, his parents would load his sister and him into the family station wagon and drive to various destinations around the country. While traveling through the United States, he was struck by the beauty and grandeur of the land. He was also struck by the truly bizarre monuments and roadside attractions that dot the landscape. “America, Why I Love Her” is an attempt to pay homage to family vacations in general, and to tourist spots in particular
3 Our Land has Memory
by Judith Baca
La Memoria de Nuestra Tierra” or “Our Land has Memory” explores the concept that the land records the stories of the people who have inhabited it. We need only to listen and, perhaps, we could hear rising from the ground what has occurred here. Depicted in this digital mural is the story of the migration during the 1910-1917 Mexican Revolution that brought the artist’s family, along with many others, through El Paso and up to Colorado to work on the railroads and in the mines. Recorded in the mural are both anonymous and well-known Latinos who have struggled for justice in Colorado. Among those portrayed are Corky Gonzales, Tijerina, and the artist’s grandfather, Teodoro Baca.
4 In Peace and Harmony with Nature
by Leo Tanguma
“In Peace and Harmony with Nature” addresses environmental issues of the world. One side of the mural shows children pouring out great sadness over the destruction and extinction of life – human, flora and fauna. The other part depicts humanity coming together to rehabilitate and celebrate nature and its diversity.
5 The Children of the World Dream of Peace
by Leo Tanguma
“The Children of the World Dream of Peace” is a powerful mural expressing the artist’s desire to abolish violence in society. One part of the diptych exhibits the tragedy and devastation of war and its impact on humanity. The mural then moves to images of smiling children dressed in folk costumes from around the world celebrating peace prevailing over war.
6 Mile High and Rising
by Marcus Akinlana
“Mile High and Rising” depicts the spirit of adventure, optimism and triumph that African Americans brought to Colorado and the Old West. Despite the tumultuous Middle Passage and the decades of their enslavement, they mastered skills that enabled the survival of their people. Then, “Go West!” came the call, and armed with the knowledge of better days, they sought freedom, human progress and prosperity. Barney Ford, Aunt Clara Brown, and many others staked claims alongside the rivers of opportunity.
7 Spirit of the People
by Western American Indian Chamber
“Spirit of the People” tells the story of Native Americans in this region through paintings, photographs, story signs and audio works. The piece begins in the International Arrival corridors with depictions of life in Colorado approximately 7,000 to 10,000 years ago and continues with the Anasazi people who lived here 1,000 years ago. Historical tribal images and stories proceed through the corridors and culminate in Jeppesen Terminal with paintings and photographs of contemporary American Indians by thirteen members of tribes from the western region.

There are lots of things about the denver airport that is strange. Yes the horse has those strange creepy eyes. Apparently right after the the artist finished the horse he died and that's when the eyes started to glow. The picture / mural is about worlds end. It has an alien in it too. Some people seem to think dia (denver airport) has something to do with contacting aliens bc of all the secret rooms in there basement. Rumor has it that only top military personal are the only ones who can get in thoses room. The run ways make a swastika. And lastly the airport was apparnetly built on an indian burrail ground. That might also explain the horse. I guess us travelers will never really know 100% of why those things are there. Or at least not until anything big happens.

***'n psycho's an understatement. You know there's a reference to the New World Order on the cornerstone or something like that too. There's a bunch of stuff about it at this website:
