happening on Saturday, July 5, 2008 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">CA</st1:State></st1:place>. <o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The
British-based artist Liliane Lijn, together
with her collaborator, Berkeley-based astrophysicist John Vallerga, are
setting
up a temporary installation of their larger work-in-progress --
SOLAR HILLS -- on Hawk Peak in the Marin Headlands on July 5, 2008. Two
computer-guided spectroheliostats will focus and beam back the sun's
light
prismatically, through a shifting spectrum of colors, creating an
array visible from Crissy Field in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>.<o:p></o:p></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> <o:p></o:p></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The
planned time for the event is from
10:30 am to 1:30 pm.<o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">A crew
from BBC TV in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City></st1:place>
will be filming the installation for a
film on "Artists Working With Light" (it includes James Turrell,
Robert Irwin and Anthony McCall as well as Lijn) for the Imagine Arts
program to run on BBC 1 in October. Director of the film is Tim Kirby,
assistant producer is Hattie Bowering and the presenter is Alan Yentob.
The artist will be there to respond to viewers' questions. <o:p></o:p></span>

<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">PLEASE
NOTE: Successful installation
is dependent on weather conditions and on receiving the necessary
permits. We will have more definitive information regarding the
above conditions
3 to 4 days prior to the event. Exact time and viewing location[s] will
be
posted closer to the event. Should <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Hawk</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType> be fogged in on
the morning
of July 5th, the alternative installation site will be on <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Grizzly</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType>
in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Berkeley</st1:City></st1:place>
later that day. <o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">The concept and
development of “<em><span
style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;">Solar Hills”</span></em>
is the
outcome of Lijn’s residency at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName>,
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Berkeley</st1:place></st1:City>
(co-sponsored by Leonardo/OLATS) in the spring of 2005. The project is
a
collaboration with astronomer John Vallerga. For more about the project
