About the exhibition:
Public Benefit is an art exhibition by Lisa Van Dusen revealing Palo Alto Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS)—public spaces hiding in plain sight. Through research, installation, and on-the-ground activations, the project invites the public to notice, explore and use these 12 sites created as a Public Benefit for you, the Public. This installation is situated amidst the seven POPOS that are located in downtown Palo Alto.
