<p>If you are in Palo Alto (and if you are not, you should visit us soon!) I will particularly recommend to stop by the <a title="Palo Alto Art Center" href="http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/depts/csd/activities_and_recreation/attractions/art_center/default.asp" target="_blank">Palo Alto Art Center</a> to see the latest site-specific installation by Patrick Dougherty, one of the most remarkable environmental artist in the world.</p>
<p>The site specific installation seems to have a life on itself and, if I was to choose a single word to describe it, “magical” is the first one that comes to my mind. The sculpture changes as you walk around and it keeps transforming itself while you are inside. There are “window-holes” to peek inside (or outside) and several paths to weave your way in and out. The installation was constructed with willow samplings that add to the enchantment as the striking variety of colors metamorphose themselves depending what time of the day you visit it.</p>
<p>The installation inspires and sparks you to explore every corner and, I couldn’t but notice every time I have been there that children and adults alike start giggling and playing as they wander through the hidden corners.</p>
<p>The artist said the installation could last about two years. I will be curious to see how it changes over time.</p>
<p>To learn more about his work, you can visit his website <a title="stickwork" href="http://www.stickwork.net" target="_blank">www.stickwork.net</a>. You can also watch interviews with him <a title="Interview" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mULmF6e2x0" target="_blank">here</a> and, if you are really curious, there is a great video on <a title="Interview" href="http://vimeo.com/20028722" target="_blank">vimeo</a> where you can see him creating this wonderful piece of art.</p>

<p>Si estáis en Palo Alto (y si no habeis venido últimamente por aquí, deberíais visitarnos pronto!) os recomiendo especialmente pasar por el <a title="Centro de Arte de Palo Alto" href="http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/depts/csd/activities_and_recreation/attractions/art_center/default.asp" target="_blank">Centro de Arte de Palo Alto</a> para ver la última instalación realizada por Patrick Dougherty, uno de los más notables artistas medio ambientales del mundo.</p>
<p>La instalación  diseñada específicamente para el Centro de Arte parece tener vida propia y, si tuviera que elegir una sola palabra para describirla, &#8220;mágica&#8221; es la primera que me viene a la mente. La escultura cambia continuamente mientras uno camina alrededor y se sigue transformando mientras uno esta en el interior. Hay &#8220;ventanas-agujeros&#8221; para mirar dentro (o fuera) y varios caminos que entrelazan las múltiples entradas y salidas. La instalación ha sido construida con ramas de sauce que añaden al encantamiento con una sorprendente variedad de colores que se transforman según la hora del día.</p>
<p>La escultura inspira e invita a explorar todos los rincones y, no he podido dejar de notar cada vez que he estado allí que niños y adultos por igual comienzan a reír y jugar mientras descubren los rincones escondidos.</p>
<p>Según el artista, la instalación puede durar unos dos años. Tengo muchísima curiosidad por ver cómo cambia con el tiempo.</p>
<p>Para obtener más información acerca de su trabajo, puedes visitar la página del artista <a title="www.stickwork.net" href="http://www.stickwork.net" target="_blank">www.stickwork.net</a>. También puedes ver entrevistas con él <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mULmF6e2x0" target="_blank">aquí</a> y, si tienes aun mas curiosidad, <a href="http://vimeo.com/20028722" target="_blank">aquí</a> puedes encontrar otro vídeo, donde se puedes ver a Patrick durante la creación de esta maravillosa pieza de arte.</p>
