Achieving The Pinnacle: ARTLANTIC: wonder Takes Shape In Atlantic City

As these photos attest, ARTLANTIC: wonder is taking shape at what we dubbed the Pinnacle Lot sitting on aa former empty lot near the world famous Atlantic City Boardwalk at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Pacific and Kentucky avenues. The picture with the barrels above? Shiver me timbers, those are the contents of the pirate ship! You'll have to come to Atlantic City, NJ to see it in person. Fabulous. Official unveiling of this exhibition site is Friday, November 9, 2012, with an official preview at 2:30pm. Join the festivities.

Artist John Roloff At His Atlantic City Site: Étude Atlantis

This is a portrait of John Roloff at the site of his new work in Atlantic City called Étude Atlantis to be unveiled November 9, 2012.
"For an environmental artist, Atlantic City is a very unique and special site. Its history, social/economic, and geographical dynamics are especially engaging. This project has provided me with an opportunity to discover an inner Atlantis and put together an unexpected mixture of place, theater, technology, cognition, and mythic quest—all within a puzzle-space of illusionistic descent and shifting light patterns." —John Roloff
