The PBS video about the 100 Acres Park does not do justice to the actual experience one gathers from physically visiting the park. Being completely immersed in the art work and nature fills the visitor up with the kind of joy and exhilaration one cannot experience through a television special even with the most extensive and descriptive commentary. Although the video lasted seven minutes, it rushed through the park entirely too quickly and allowed the vie
wers scarce enough time to even realize the wonder they have stumbled upon. For lack of a better comparison, the 100 Acres Park in the middle of the bustling city of Indianapolis is like an oasis in the desert. It is a peaceful yet exhilarating break from the dry and hardly changing routines of city dwellers.
My favorite piece of the 100 Acres Park exhibit is Eden II. The connectivity between nature, environmental issues, art, and religious history is phenomenal. It is as though the artist threw all of my passions into a single project and displayed it exactly where I'd be most moved by the piece: on a boat, on a lake. Simply put, Eden II is awe inspiring.
The art piece I found the least attractive was the Indianapolis Island. Although I think the concept is quite an interesting one, the white island on the dark lake sticks out like a sore thumb. In my opinion, it needs to be almost invisible on the lake, except for at one specific angle. This would give the piece more of a mysterious air that would better combine the art work with the nature in which it is fully immersed. When visitors walk around the lake, it would be as though the island simply pops up out of nowhere and then vanishes just as quickly as it appeared.
