HEADLANDSNEWSLETTEROctober 2019 |
The Fall Season is upon us! Our new Artists in Residents have been arriving over the past couple weeks and are settling into the foggy mornings and crisp afternoons. October offers a number of opportunities to get to know our Artists and their work a little better with our Fall Open House, Kelly Akashi and Anna Fitch & Banker White at work in the Project Space Studios, and a lecture by Jonathan Calm, our 2019 Larry Sultan Photography Award recipient.

Jonathan Calm:
Larry Sultan Photography Award Lecture |
Free and open to the public | Timkin Hall at California College of the Arts
|
Californian photographer and 2019 Larry Sultan Photography Award winner Jonathan Calm discusses his work at this off-site lecture. While in residence at Headlands, Calm will be expanding his portfolio of Green Book sites and locations, with a particular focus on the American West. Amidst increased public awareness of the Green Book over the past year—due in part to the film, The Green Book, and the controversy over its 2019 Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year—Calm’s work presents a more ambiguous counterpoint to the popular narrative of California as a modern-day promised land.
Presented by the CCA Photography Program as part of the Larry Sultan Visiting Artist Program, in partnership with Pier 24, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, and Headlands Center for the Arts.

Headlands' Director of Development Sarah Kermensky has been ruminating on The Flick, a play set in a run-down movie house staffed by emotionally flawed characters. "Expertly mounted at Ashby Stage, playwright Annie Baker's deceptively simple dialogue slowly drew the audience in and kept us there, willingly," Sarah said. "There is no substitute for good, live performance."
"I'm obsessed right now with palm trees" said Affiliate Artist Ploi Pirapokin. She found some inspiration in Architectural Digest's recent profile of the home of Poppy and Cara Delevingne. "I've been researching native Californian palm trees to bring into my home and into my writing as imagery to match the ever-heating global-warmed Northern California climate." Fall Program Intern Emily Bell recently baked the perfect fall treat: Blue Bottle Coffee's Ginger Molasses Cookies. Almost two batches were eaten by Headlands' staff in under an hour—a feat that we're particularly proud of. You can find the original recipe in The Blue Bottle Craft of Coffee: Growing, Roasting, and Drinking, with Recipes, or an adaptation here. |
