Urban Light

Urban Light est une installation artistique réalisée par l'Américain Chris Burden en 2008. Elle se présente sous la forme d'un assemblage de 202 réverbères fonctionnels. Ils sont exposés à l'entrée du musée d'Art du comté de Los Angeles, en Californie. Historique Avant d'être choisie par le musée d'Art du comté de Los Angeles, l'installation est présentée par Chris Burden à plusieurs autres centres d'art, qui refusent sa mise en place. En 2008, il commence la pose des réverbères, les disposant suivant des alignements précis, à la façon des colonnes d'un temple antique. Tous les lampadaires sont d'authentiques lampes des années 1920 ou 1930, achetées par l'artiste dans plusieurs villes des environs de Los Angeles et sont restaurés par Burden dans son atelier de Topanga Canyon avant leur installation. L'installation est constituée d'exactement 202 réverbères, et 309 ampoules, détournés de leur usage de départ par l'artiste. Ils sont alimentés en énergie grâce à la lumière du Soleil et réglés en fonction des étoiles pour fonctionner toute la nuit. Selon l'artiste lui-même, l'œuvre permet aussi de sécuriser les rues adjacentes, constituant un ensemble à la fois « sûr après la tombée de la nuit et beau à voir ». En 2018, les ampoules originales sont remplacées par des LED, permettant de diminuer la consommation de l'ensemble de 90 %. L'achat de celles-ci est offert au musée par la Fondation Leonardo-DiCaprio. Dans la culture populaire La popularité de l'installation vient surtout des réseaux sociaux, où les selfies pris devant l'œuvre fleurissent très vite après sa pose. Les réverbères apparaissent ensuite dans plusieurs films américains, tels que Valentine's Day en 2010 et No Strings Attached en 2011, ainsi que dans un épisode de la série Modern Family. L'installation de Chris Burden devient peu à peu un symbole de la ville de Los Angeles.

Uvas Canyon County Park

Uvas Canyon County Park is a 1,147-acre (464 ha) natural park located in upper Uvas Canyon on the eastern side of the Santa Cruz Mountains, west of Morgan Hill, California. The park has several small waterfalls, some of which flow perennially, that feed into tributaries confluent with Uvas Creek. The park is part of the Santa Clara County Parks System, and facilitates picnics, hiking and overnight camping. It is one of the few parks in the area that allows dogs in the campgrounds. Access to Uvas Canyon County Park is via Croy Road, a two-lane paved secondary road off Uvas Road with no outlet that narrows to a single lane within the small private community of Sveadal, just before the park entrance. The park is located at 8515 Croy Rd, Morgan Hill. Uvas Canyon has 7.2 miles of hiking trails that includes a 1 mile Waterfall Loop. There are picnic areas and campsites as well. At one time Uvas Canyon was the tribal territory of the Mutsun Ohlone Indians. Uva is the Spanish word for grape. Uvas Creek and Uvas Canyon were named for the wild grapes once abundant in the area. History In 2017, a significant portion of the park's trail network as well as Croy Road were damaged by heavy rains. The park has now been reopened following extensive repairs. Uvas Canyon County Park is 1147 acres. In 1961 the County Parks Department bought the first parcel of 425 acres of land for Uvas Canyon County Park from Mrs. Lois (Wallace-McPhee) Allen. This land has the park entrance, picnic grounds and campgrounds. Another 256 acres was purchased in 1961 and the park opened in 1962 for use of the camping facilities. Over 600 acres have been added to the park since 1961. Flora A partial list of trees and plants found in the park is described in the park's Waterfall Loop Nature Trail Guide. Some are non-native species, brought in by early settlers. Fauna Some animals native to the area include: Waterfalls The park has seven small waterfalls, five of which are named on park maps and identified with signposts: Basin Falls 37.07973°N 121.80613°W﻿ / 37.07973; -121.80613﻿ (Basin Falls) Black Rock Falls 37.08246°N 121.80095°W﻿ / 37.08246; -121.80095﻿ (Black Rock Falls) Granuja Falls Triple Falls 37°04′41″N 121°47′39″W Upper Falls 37°04′47″N 121°48′08″W The streams are rain and spring fed. Even though the streams are perennial, the best time to visit these waterfalls is after recent rains. References External links Leon Turnbull. "Black Rock Falls".
