Top Public Sculpture Parks to Visit in America

Kasmin Sculpture Garden (New York City)

This quiet sculpture garden in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood is far from the crowds. Owned and

operated by Kasmin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. It is designed by

Future Green, a Brooklyn, landscape architect studio, and it stands beside a famous building designed by Zaha

Hadid. There’s a current exhibition featuring bronze (铜) sculptures by Alma Allen, which shows the artist’s

regard for Utah.

Tippet Rise Art Center (Fishtail)

This sculpture garden is worth the trip to the Beartooth Mountains in Fishtail. It is a 12,500-acre ranch (牧场),

which is peppered with public art, including sculptures by Mark di Suvero, among others. This summer, the ranch

will be open to those who are hiking or traveling by bike.

Storm King Art Center (New Windsor)

By far the most popular sculpture park in upstate New York, it is a 500-acre sculpture park in Hudson Valley.

Since opening in 1960, it has grown to include dozens of sculptures that change over time. In its collection, the

park owns sculptures by famous artists including Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, and Daniel Buren.

Olympic Sculpture Park (Seattle)

This outdoor park was created by the nearby Seattle Art Museum and features a large red sculpture by

Alexander Calder called Eagle, as well as Wake by Richard Serra. Since 2007, this waterfront park has brought

creativity to Elliott Bay. The landscape design fits in with the local roads and skyline, facing the harbor in what’s

recognized as Seattle’s largest downtown green space.

Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is

stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.

In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in

the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His

winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that

can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示).

Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such

images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on

August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists

feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to

make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”

However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First,

he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space

helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led

to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images

through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images

printed at a local print shop.

Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather

than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so

we can all move forward,” Allen said.

4．What do we know about Theatre D’opera Spatial?

A．Its beauty is widely accepted. B．Its creation is an easy process.

C．It shows the death of traditional art. D．It has caused a lot of arguments.

5．What did Allen do to create his entries?

A．He searched for smart written prompts. B．He edited his final images in Photoshop.

C．He fed Midjourney with famous paintings. D．He developed the software named Gigapixel.

6．What is Allen’s attitude to the debate over Al-created art?

A．Worried. B．Uncaring. C．Positive. D．Annoyed.

7．What might be the best title for the text?

A．AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art Field

B． AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry

C．An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs

D．The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work.

Scientists based in Japan’s Osaka University have found a way to 3D print wagyu beef (the most expensive

Japanese beef) in a lab — a step they believe will one day help make widely available and sustainably-produced

cuts of cultured meat that closely resemble original products.

Using cells that they took from wagyu cows, the Japanese scientists set out to create a structure with the

special feature seen in wagyu beef that makes it different from other cuts of beef. By isolating beef cells, the

scientists organized how muscles, fat and other cells should be placed. The researchers then shaped these tissues

(组织) into the form of a steak using a technique called 3D bioprinting (生物打印), where cell structures can be

made to look like real tissues in living things. The researchers believe that the development could be a big step

toward a sustainable future. Its origins from real meat also make it different from plant-based options.

“By improving this technology, it will be possible to not only reproduce complex meat structures, but also

make subtle adjustments to the fat and muscle components,” Michiya Matsusaki, one of the project’s researchers,

said excitedly in a statement. Michiya added that with these adjustments, more customers might one day be able to

order a cultured cut of meat with the amount of fat they like, tailor-made to their tastes and health concerns.

Wagyu beef is known to be extremely expensive, with high-grade wagyu fetching prices of up to $200 per

pound and adult cows selling for more than $30,000. In 2019, Japan’s wagyu exports reached a record high of

$268.8 million in profits, up 20% from 2018.

While this might be the first cut of wagyu beef ever to be 3D-printed, other attempts have been made to bio-

print steaks. In February this year, Aleph Farms and the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Israel Institute
