It's a great project. I've been wanting to take a visit to Denver. Our office, along with a couple of other design firms, designed a new development in Denver called Taxi2(check out the site: www.taxibyzeppelin.com ) This too would be a good place for some renegade bench installations. This project is chocked full of funky patrons. Thanks for the added information. It’s a great project. I’ve been wanting to take a visit to Denver.

Had they done the install in front of the Michael Graves designed library one block away, or in front of the Geo Ponti designed portion of the DAM on 14th St, there would have been much more traffic (not that I think anyone would have done anything to stop them anyway). Of course had this been NYC, there would be guys checking for their bench installers union card and if not provided, shake them down for a few hundred$$$. The MCA install seemed to be documented with still images but I certainly saw much of the ongoing finish up construction in some of the scenes (the building is just recently completed and had a grand opening last Sunday). I could see how anyone by the MCA might think the bench install was just part of all the grand opening festivities.
