During this evening, we will meet artists and researchers who explicitly address the production of knowledge as contingent, charged, and often charming. Presenters include cognitive scientist and professor Lera Boroditsky; artist and anthropologist Adrian Van Allen (AFF '11); and performance artist Xandra Ibarra (AFF '14). Learn more Thursday, May 4 | 7PM This event is offsite at The Lab: 2948 16th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 No End in Sight: 2016–17 Graduate Fellowship Exhibition In partnership with Embark Gallery Free | Opening Reception, Sunday, May 21, 1–4PM No End in Sight presents the work and practices of Headlands 2016–17 Graduate Fellows. In the spirit of the organization's history of encouraging artistic exploration and experimentation, this exhibition travels the path of an idea to fruition, taking various routes and perspectives. What happens when we begin to understand an art practice as an evolution rather than a result-oriented endeavor? Whether it be with meticulous research, collection of scientific data, sketches as preparation for acts of chance, the organic development of the handmade, thinking through digital culture via analog devices, or the act of autobiographical documentation, No End in Sight asks fruitful questions rather than presenting final answers. Learn more Opening Reception: Sunday, May 21, 1–4PM Exhibition on view through Wednesday, June 7 Gallery hours: Saturday–Sunday, 12–5PM This event is offsite at Embark Gallery, 2 Marina Blvd., #330, San Francisco, CA 94123 SAVE THE DATE! 2017 Benefit Art Auction Tickets start at $100 | Individual sponsorship opportunities now available Headlands' Benefit Art Auction is our biggest fundraising event, and one of the Bay Area's favorite venues for cutting-edge art.
