GALLERY 2 PETANQUE COURT + COURTYARD TOURNAMENT
LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER!

Join renowned Bay Area artist Paul Kos for an afternoon of pétanque—a French boules sport that has played a role in his artistic practice for decades.
Kos will deliver a brief lecture about his relationship with the game—and its role in the creation of his masterpiece Chartes Blue (1982-86)—before re-dedicating his site-specific installation Zizi Va (1994), a functioning pétanque court which has been newly refurbished for ongoing public use. Finally, Kos and guests will participate in a rousing tournament, competing for a golden ball adorned with Kos’ signature.
