Headlands Center for the Arts presents: Defying Gravity: Curating the Venice Biennale 2013 marks the 55th year of the Venice Biennale, one of the premiere global events for contemporary art. For this year's iteration, Holly Block, Executive Director at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, has selected New York-based artist Sarah Sze to represent the United States. At Headlands, Block discusses her curatorial practice and provides an in-depth look at Sze's monumental new work, which will debut in Venice this summer. Join us for a Veneto-inspired dinner in the Mess Hall prior to the presentation. PUBLIC EVENTS AT HEADLANDS: Public Events take place about twice a month and take on a variety of formats, topics, and perspectives. Art looks, feels, and sounds different at Headlands. From artist-guided walks to dinners, exhibitions, conversations, and performances, Public Events are designed to be experiential, to connect visitors to artists and the creative process, and to create opportunities for genuine engagement. We are always cooking up new ways to engage, experiment, delight, and provoke. Come and see, then come back for more.
