Believe only the caravan’s trace
~~In light of the recent roll-back of reopening recommendations from the State, and the rapid increase in cases of COVID-19, we’ve made the decision to close the Graduate Fellowship exhibition, along with all in-person events through January 15. We’re truly sorry to have to cut the exhibition short, but feel it’s necessary for the health and safety of our staff, Artists, and visitors. Documentation of the exhibition is available for viewing on the sidebar.~~
Believe only the caravan’s trace:
2020 Graduate Fellowship Exhibition
Open by appointment for in-person viewing.
Open Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays from 12-5pm (closed Thanksgiving weekend) at Headlands Center for the Arts.
A desire to create new connections marks the novel works of the seven Graduate Fellows at Headlands Center for the Arts. Using diverse media, the artists develop new languages around significant historical events and underrepresented communities.
Like many artists before them, the Fellows arrived at Headlands with curiosity, and in its magical landscape, they followed their curiosities individually and collectively. But the disruptions that will define this year began bending and stretching their time. Already asking timely questions, their artworks didn’t need to change to address those disruptions. Their new bodies of work tell seven important stories at a global moment of transition. This agility attests to the authenticity and thoughtfulness at the center of each project. Their work echoes what art does best, using the traces of the past to represent a different version of history, and to imagine multiple futures.
