Join participating artists for an opening reception on Sunday, May 4!
Collective Disturbances showcases new works created by Headlands’ 2013-14 Graduate Fellows during their yearlong studio residencies. As with escalating weather patterns and other chaotic macro-phenomena of nature, the thoughts and gestures of contemporary artists resolve in convergent as well as divergent fashion. And as with both organized and spontaneous social and political enterprise, creative individuals express themselves through a wide range of mediums and idiosyncratic approaches. This is especially true in dynamic locales of rapidly shifting climactic conditions where great creative exchange occurs: defining characteristics for the situation of the seven artists whose projects are featured in this show.
Headlands’ Graduate Fellowships provide yearlong studio residencies to recent, promising MFA graduates in partnership with seven esteemed Bay Area academic institutions. Bringing together representatives from each of these institutions, this exhibition provides a composite view of select Bay Area graduate art programs.
