Project Space: Sahar Khoury
Work in progress: July 29–August 27; Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, 12–5PM
Sahar Khoury creates sculptures and installations that feel at once familiar and jarring, rendering household forms—vases, waste bins, chairs, a sleeping cat—as strange arrangements and accumulations of cement, metal, ceramic, resin, pigments, textiles, and papier-mâché. Khoury’s work has an improvisational and magpie resourcefulness to it, often incorporating rejected or found materials from her surrounding neighborhood, community, and personal daily space as armatures or conceptual starting points. During her Project Space residency Khoury will bring a similar approach to Headlands, incorporating found elements with her familiar materials to create an immersive, architectural, site-specific installation.
Please note: Headlands resides on in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and must abide by National Park System guidelines. In accordance with National Park Service federal health guidelines, Headlands has established some COVID-19 protocols to help ensure the safety of all our visitors.
- Upon arrival, please ring doorbell for admittance. All visitors must sign in and submit that they have no COVID-19 symptoms using this self-check guide.
- All visitors, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask over the nose and mouth at all times while indoors—no neck gaiters, open-chin triangle bandanas, or face coverings with valves, mesh, or holes.
- All visitors must maintain a physical distance of at least 6 feet from others. Parties of a single pod may remain together and children must remain with supervising adults at all times.
- Mask and social distancing guidelines apply indoors; masks required outdoors when social distancing cannot be maintained.
Our campus consists of historic buildings which lack central air filtration or circulation systems; Whenever possible, windows will remain open to encourage air circulation. Sanitizing stations are readily available throughout our buildings. Contact tracing is an important part of reducing the spread of COVID-19. Please contact info@headlands.org if you test positive for COVID-19 or experience COVID-19 symptoms following your visit.
Project Space is located on the third floor of Building 944 and is currently accessible only by stairs.
