We help you produce it. Our goals are aligned with your goals, to create your artwork as you imagine it. We are here to ensure that you both profit financially and grow as an artist. We help a diverse cross-section of artists, from well known and established artists such as Sol Lewitt, to mid-career and local artists, to young artists with their first sizable commission. Many artists are capable of producing large scale artwork, transporting it, and installing it, but at what cost? Producing works of this scale costs your time, your energy, and in some cases, your safety. Spend more time in the creative process of ideas and conception, and we'll manage the engineering, production, and installation of your project.

Zahner design engineered a unique system for simple, efficient, and permanent installation that met the Gensler's concerns. Gensler's design worked on two levels. “When you approach it from a distance, it appears as a wall, reflecting the unity of the police force,” explained David Herjeczki of Gensler. “As you get closer, it becomes an assemblage of individual pieces, each one paying tribute to a fallen officer. When contemplating an appropriate material for the memorial, [we] focused on the object most sacred to the LAPD: the brass badge.” <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd2.jpg" width="640" height="426" width_o="640" height_o="426" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd2_o.jpg" data-mid="1478782" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd.dedication.2.jpg" width="640" height="433" width_o="640" height_o="433" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd.dedication.2_o.jpg" data-mid="1478783" border="0" align="left"/>The badge manifests itself of plates much like the ones with fallen police officer's names.

You can see how the steel had just begun to oxidize in the top photograph, and how in the next photograph, the steel has weathered to its final state. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/MCC-installation-(18).jpg" width="640" height="249" width_o="640" height_o="249" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/MCC-installation-(18)_o.jpg" data-mid="443774" border="0" align="left"/> Weathering steel is better known by its brand name, Cor-Ten. Unlike other ferric metals, weathering steel will not rust through. When weathering steel oxidizes (rusts) the layer of rust becomes a barrier to prevent further oxidation. It builds up a layer of rust, and then ceases to rust anymore. Many outdoor public sculptures are made from this material, including much of Richard Serra's giant steel sculptures which could last thousands of years, perhaps indefinitely. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc_o.jpg" data-mid="443762" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc2.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc2_o.jpg" data-mid="443763" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc3.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc3_o.jpg" data-mid="443764" border="0" align="left"/>
