Headlands Artists in Residence Lecture Series at CCA
FREE Admission Headlands Center for the Arts 2012 Artists in Residence: The Otolith Group Presented by CCA's Graduate Program in Fine Arts and Headlands Center for the Arts CCA SF Campus, Timken Hall The Otolith Group are Fall 2011 artists-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts. An influential London-based artist's collective nominated for the 2010 Turner Prize, The Otolith Group's collaborative and discursive practice questions the nature of documentary history, working across photography, film, text, video, sound and architecture. Their work formally explores the legacies and potentialities of documentary practice, the essay film, postcolonial archives, cosmopolitan modernisms and science fictions. Otolith is a region of the inner ear which establishes our sense of gravity and orientation. The Otolith Group is a collective led by Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun, integrating film and video exhibitions, artists' writing, workshops, curation, and publication. The Group has exhibited and curated internationally including their exhibition Harun Farocki. 22 Films: 1968-2009 at Tate Modern, The Ghosts of Songs: A Retrospective of The Black Audio Film Collective 1982-1998, and the touring program Protest, part of their Essentials: The Secret Masterpieces of Cinema, commissioned by the Independent Cinema Office London.
