Corner Ball Park, Robin Murez,2014, South Venice Blvd at Ocean Avenue & Mildred

The Corner Ball Park is Murez' earthworks triangular sculpture park. It is comprised of five grassy mounds and four 3 foot diameter marble mosaic spheres on decomposed granite pathways. A magnificent cypress tree, limbs from a coral tree and several palm trees envelope the park. Murez' signage on the adjacent electrical box reads:

"These grassy mounds and hard balls pay tribute te the Venice Tigers, a Pacific Coast League professional baseball team that played at the Venice Ballpark from 1913-14. That ballpark was one block East of our site. The Tigers came from, and returned to, the City of Vernon. Mishaps caused the team to leave Vernon. Venice was a lively, welcoming neighborhood where cold beverages could be found, even during Prohibition."

Granite & marble mosaic imagery on the four 3 foot diameter "hard balls" are of iconic features of Venice: Portraits from the historic Italian architecture of the Windward Avenue Colonnade; A seated camel, because Venice had live camel rides; Kelp like that sustaining resource growing in our bay; and a Sea Anemonoe like the ones living on the rocks at the Venice breakwater.
