ART VIEWS-Experimental Curator Lance Fung To Transform Atlantic City In A 5 Year Public Art Campaign
- Lance Fung
In Hudson County, we all know public art effects culture in ways far greater than the purse, and now Atlantic City’s community stakeholders, both public and private are sending a message. Art and culture can expose the elusive quality of place by positively influencing a neighborhood and a city. Earlier today at an exciting and inspiring event at Lance Fung’s SOHO loft. The Atlantic City Alliance (ACA) a newly formed non profit, has hired Lance and his group, Fung Collaboratives, to transform Atlantic City. They will collaborate to turn many entire vacant lots into commissioned works of art or as Lance describes them, magical green spaces. It’s amazing that in this economy the ACA holds, that for this country’s cities, right now art and culture are key. As daring a collaborationist as ever, Lance will triangulate Atla ntic City with an exquisite 5 year long public art exhibition that will complete this message.

2 Performance Artists Request & Receive Weeded Books from Library for Art Installation Honoring The Book
THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES – Performance Artists Antonia Wright (L) and Ruben Millares (R) of Miami, Florida, recently came to the Jersey City Free Public Library in search of books for the latest incarnation of their art installation – a wall of books. With 14 boxes of weeded books to spare at the Main Library shown packed into their vehicle, Antonia and Ruben built a small wall, checking out a couple of titles. Notice Ruben is reading Ray Bradbury’s seminal work, Fahrenheit 451, a book after his own heart, for this wall is an homage to books!
JERSEY CITY, NJ  April 4, 2012 – Performance artists Ruben Millares and Antonia Wright recently came to the Main Library in Jersey City to abscond with 14 boxes of books that were weeded from the library branches’ collections. The use for the books can raise an educated eyebrow…
           They came in search of books for their art installation at the Fountain Art Fair, which was held in mid-March in New York City. From Miami, both artists have been doing this installation of books as a “homage to the book, a celebration†and a commentary on how reading in libraries has gone digital.

Jonathan Singer’s “Botanica Magnifica†Exhibit Opens on January 28th at the New Jersey State Museum
By Evelyn Bonilla
Â
“Open your eyes and you will see the beauty from withinâ€, these are the words that come to mind, as I explain the photographs of Jonathan Singer. Described as a “force of nature†Singer brings to life “rare exotic flowers and plants†using photography and his extraordinary vision; the compilation of the two brings to fruition photographs which bring to mind the works of Rembrandt.
 On January 28th the public will have the opportunity to view the one of a kind photographs by Jonathan Singer. The exhibit “Botanica Magnifica†will be presented in two parts. “Part One†is on view January 28 through April 15, and “Part Two†will be on view April 21 through August 26 at the New Jersey State Museum.
