ART INSTALLATIONS

Can you find all of the meticulously designed, interactive art installations dotted around the park?

MURAL BY THE SEA

MURAL-BY-THE-SEA is a rolling annual programme commissioning various artists for a large scale billboard mural outside Hall By The Sea, in collaboration with StudioTAC, a Margate based creative company who built and designed the steel frame encasing the mural.

This year, in partnership with People Dem Collective, Dreamland is proud to host a striking mural entitled Black British Icons.

An epic collaboration led by @victoriabarrowwilliams with the formidable artist @yesoliviatwist and creative direction being led by @_studiocamo_

I Spin Me - Art Installation

I SPIN ME (ROUND, ROUND, BABY RIGHT ROUND)

Studio TAC, 2017
Mirrored stainless steel, paint, wood

No one knows who spun the first top, but every person since has had the simple joy of playing with one. Today, the spinning top is one of the oldest recognisable toys found on archaeological sites all over the world, and irrespective of culture. In Medieval times, it was common to have a large spinning top in the town square which villagers could spin for exercise and to keep warm!

The simplest of games in so many ways, studioTAC revive the simplicity of play through movement as one of the first things you see in the park. The mirrored surface reflects not only your new surroundings, but your own image, spinning round you as you participate… and you begin to realise you’re not in Kansas anymore.

There Is A Light - Art Installation

THERE IS A LIGHT

Rag & Bone Man, 2017
Cast Iron, Steel, Brass, Scrap

Taking inspiration from the decorative street lamps that once illuminated the heritage amusement park, The Rag and Bone Man celebrates the history of the Metropolitan Vickers motor that drove the original Scenic Railway and reworks its shape and components into a new Tivoli inspired street light.

The light both illuminates Dreamland’s new green spaces and operates as a sign post directing visitors to both key areas of the park and inviting them to destinations that can be reached by travelling with imagination…

What's Your Flavour

What’s Your Flavour ?

Shaun Prickimage is a neurodiverse, Margate based light artist creating 2D, 3D and mixed reality digital graphics for immersive installations.

What’s Your Flavour was inspired by the beloved seafront, where visitors and residents alike seek to pass the time swimming, sunbathing and kicking back with an ice cream on its sandy beaches.

Pop into any ice cream shop in Margate on a sunny day and you’ll be met with excited faces exclaiming in fevered voices their favourite flavour to be scooped and served.

The perfect backdrop for your next Dreamland selfie, you’ll find this installation at the end of the concourse.  Remember to let us know your favourite flavour in your pics and add #dreamlandmargate, so we can share.
