New Attraction – Located between Indiana ave and MLK Blvd, enter from the boardwalk!
One of the coolest public art parks in the world arrives in Atlantic City and is being guided by legendary art curator Lance Fung. What could be better than a World Renown Outdoor Art Park called “Artlantic”? Artlantic is a 5 year project that utilizes underdeveloped land in Atlantic City and converts it into green space and unique art exhibits.
The overall project will be rolled out in phases, the first two of four are almost complete and ready for viewing. Phase I is named “Wonder”, a beautiful open space art park located at the boardwalk on the former site of the Sands Casino. Phase II is called Wonder – “‘Etude Atlantis” and is an amazing artistic display located near the Tropicana Casino at Iowa Ave and the boardwalk.
Wonder Exhibit
The “Wonder Exhibit” is located in a large area between Martin Luther King Blvd and Indiana ave, you can enter from the boardwalk. It includes three dedicated displays, all from different artists. The idea is to walk through the park and explore each area, it’s a unique setting unlike any other similar park.
Words
This first of three exhibits is called “Words” and features creatively landscaped land with deep and thoughtful words displayed on lush green grass, created by Robert Barry. It’s very unique and truly amazing presentation, words like Passion, Imagine and Purpose are strategically placed to provoke thought.
Pirate Ship
Created by sisters, Liya and Emilia Kabakov, a cool Pirate Ship exhibit was built on the sand with cool barrels etc, as you stare into this display, it is completely open to your interpretation. I see a shipwrecked group of pirates surrounding the wooden structure.
Sculpture
Artist and sculpture Kiki Smith’s exhibit is a statue of a women gracefully holding a deer, she originally created this piece in 2003, the sculture is called “Her”.
