Where is Victory Park?

The screens and many new restaurants are located in the plaza just outside the American Airlines Center's south entrance facing Olive Street.

Just across the street is the W Hotel, ghostbar, Craft, LFT and an entirely new restaurant/retail complex. There is valet and public parking everywhere. Just drive around the block and you'll find it.

Map it.

As the forecourt to the American Airlines Center and the central core of the Victory Park $3-billion, 75-acre district, millions of people are expected to experience this gallery each year.

The opportunity to reach such a large and varied audience - many of whom might never be exposed to this art medium were it not for Victory Media Network®'s location - as well as the ability to add dimension and movement to pieces with the dynamic boards, has brought widespread interest from both artists and patrons from around the world.

One of the most notable additions to primary content is "Revolutions" a groundbreaking work commissioned by Target that premiered at the launch. It is mesmerizing.
Once you think you know where it's going, it goes somewhere else.

 

This documentary of art in progress juxtaposes two very different and unique styles of graffiti art. The piece opens with Kofie One (www.keepdrafting.com) and Mr Jago (www.mrjago.com) emerging somewhere between sky and earth - on a vast set of wet, semi-reflective paving.

They come upon two monolithic glowing cubes that are soon to become their next canvases. What quickly materializes is beautiful, poetic art, seemingly lit from within. Finally these two seemingly disparate works begin to merge, symbolizing a coming together of two personalities, two cultures and of technical and non-technical. What remains is a unified and one-of-a-kind piece of art.

We are researching exactly which pieces are pictured on this page. We'll gladly give credit and links.

 

"Revolutions" joins the debut of original content from Bank of America, the official bank of Victory Park and sponsor of Victory Media Network®, and "Ring of Fire", a dazzling new work commissioned by Victory Park. Renowned installation artist Jennifer Steinkamp's (http://jsteinkamp.com) is choreographing an intricate collage of floral images inspired by the seasonal gardens of the Dallas Arboretum. A collaboration with composer Jimmy Johnson, the five-minute piece will incorporate a vivid palette of flowers in constant motion.

133bpm also introduced and awarded a selection of pieces in the categories of digital art, visual storytelling and film shorts that will become ongoing content for Victory Media Network®.

 

A prestigious jury including
Cindy Rachofsky,
Gail Sachson,
Roger Horchow,
Jennifer Steinkamp, Nancy Whitenack and Liener Temerlin selected winners from nearly 400 submissions entered by artists from around the world. Featured winning artists included
Gary Breslin, Zach Parrish, Sean Capone,
Bill Domonkos and
Till Nowak
.


We've asked VMN if there is going to be scheduled showings of the winning works and they're looking into doing just that.

When it happens, we'll publish the information on our eBuzzNewsletter and you'll find the link here.

Victory Media Network® (www.victorymedianetwork.com), the world's largest permanent outdoor digital art gallery, launched in Dallas' Victory Park (www.victorypark.com) district. The public evening debut of this landmark plaza venue, which has been favorably compared to a cross between New York's Lincoln Center and Times Square benefitted the city's Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

The ticketed event entitled "133bpm" was as a multi-sensory showcase and highlighed installation components that include the most sophisticated LED display, sound and lighting technology currently available as well as custom movable screens totaling approximately 4,600 square feet. Acclaimed London-based audiovisual artists Addictive TV (www.addictive.com), who have been championing visual music and the art of the VJ for more than a decade, headlined.
