In December 1988, artist Ricky Boscarino was on the hunt for actual property. Not simply any property would do, although. “It was really my boyhood ambition to built my dream house, where literally all my dreams could come true,” he says within the quick documentary “Electric Garden.” Little did he know that over the course of the following 4 many years, a dilapidated looking cabin would remodel right into a veritable lifestyle.
Luna Parc emerged on a wooded six-acre parcel in northwestern New Jersey and has been in progress frequently since 1989. “Family lore is that we were carpenters for many, many generations,” Boscarino says. “My whole life became about making things with metal, wood, glass, fabric, concrete.”
With quite a few additions and labyrinthine ranges, Luna Parc features a type of dwelling museum, the place Boscarino provides new work on a regular basis, plus studios devoted to numerous mediums, dwelling areas, and an expansive sculpture backyard. At 5,000 sq. toes, the self-described “madcap” artist’s vibrant, elaborately ornamented residence evokes a fairytale dwelling or a whimsical, Tim Burton-esque development.
Boscarino continues so as to add new particulars to Luna Parc, whether or not electrifying a concrete sculpture backyard with coloured lights or including new works to the museum. The home often opens to the general public in the course of the summer time months, and you may study extra and plan your go to on Boscarino’s web site. Watch the documentary in full on Vimeo.
