DESCRIPTION:February 1, 2012 through February 2013, 10am to 5pm\n\nThe acclaimed Palo 
 Alto Art Center will present Bay Area artist Judith Selby Lang's LawnBowls, 
 the next new temporary site-specific installation in its series exploring 
 art in public and community spaces. Opening February 1, 2012, LawnBowls 
 will be installed on the grounds of the Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club, 474 
 Embarcadero in Palo Alto, through February 2013. Lang's work has been 
 celebrated for its striking focus on the relationship between humans and 
 the environment. LawnBowls will be created by the public in several 
 community workshops using recycled plastic bags to create monumental ball 
 sculptures. For information, visit www.cityofpaloalto.org/artcenter.\n\n"As 
 a mixed media installation artist I am exploring the personal and global 
 impact of detritus," says Lang. "Through my art, I hope to bring awareness 
 to crucial environmental issues and enliven public space. Plastic is my 
 primary material because it's free, it's ubiquitous, it's archival. As we 
 come to the end of the Era of Oil, plastic seems to be the material most 
 expressive of our times. And, like diamonds, it is forever."\n\nLawnBowls 
 will be an installation of 10-12 large balls created from single-use 
 plastic bags arranged on the lawn space adjacent to the Palo Alto Lawn 
 Bowls Club. The balls will appear as a game in progress-as if some giant 
 players had just left the scene. These colorful sculptures will provide a 
 compelling example of a playful reuse of what might otherwise be trash or 
 perhaps recycled.\n\nLawnBowls is presented in conjunction with the Palo 
 Alto Lawn Bowls Club, (www.palbc.org), is co-sponsored by the Palo Alto 
 Public Art Commission and is supported by the Palo Alto Art Center 
 Foundation. Double Take and Clear-Story were funded, in part, by the Palo 
 Alto Art Center Foundation through an IMLS grant. ((In addition to 
 LawnBowls, Judith Selby Lang will also create a second related 
 site-specific installation in the Palo Alto in the spring of 2012, dates 
 and details to be announced.\n
