"You can’t make art by making art" has been a guiding principle in the work of David Ireland, one of California's most important and critically acclaimed artists working in the challenging arena of conceptual and installation art. Over the past 30 years, David Ireland has produced a remarkable series of architectural transformations, installations, objects and drawings that consistently challenge viewers' everyday distinctions between art and non-art. A self-described "post-discipline" artist guided by Zen thought and postmodern aesthetics, Ireland moves fluidly from making small drawings to creating sculptures as large as houses. David Ireland's work has been presented in more than 40 solo exhibitions, at venues including the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York.


LAYLAH ALI

Digital Pigment Print

Untitled
Massachusetts artist Laylah Ali used her time at Headlands to continue work on an ongoing series, Greenheads, for exhibitions at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, and MassMoca, MA. Her gouache on paper images appear as hybrid bodies and figures in contrasting uniforms. These figures raise questions about identity and power struggles in contemporary society. "I am interested in the idea of parallel societies and assimilation; how different groups and individuals appear to be working together, but how that is often subverted." Laylah Ali has had solo exhibitions at New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York; ICA, Boston; MCA Chicago; Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis; and MASS MoCA, among others. Her work was exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2003) and the Whitney Biennial (2004).


EAMON
ORE-GIRON

Headlands AIR '04

Untitled

Digital Pigment Print
16"  x  18"
(variable)


Untitled
Over the past several years, San Francisco-based artist Eamon Ore-Giron has created paintings and site-specific wall installations exploring imaginary folklores and worlds suspended between utopia and dystopia. In a style that blends contemporary graphic design, folk and tourist art, and surrealism, Ore-Giron creates a daydream landscape--a fictionalized vision of the American West, populated by a bizarre host of characters. The painterly vision of Ore-Giron is a socially-satirical critique of manifest destiny that implies that the American desire to expand has resulted in a homogenized suburbia. He has exhibited recently at Queens Nails Annex in San Francisco, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Gallery Paule Anglim. He received a 2002 Bay Guardian Goldie Award for Visual Art, a 2001 San Francisco Arts Council Grant, and a 2004 residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Ore-Giron earned his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Untitled
Rebeca Bollinger's recent work uses photography as the foundation to create other forms including objects and moving images. Over the past year Bollinger has been making a series of "straight photos," using a 35mm lens from the 1970s to take unaltered snapshots. She is interested in the relationship the straight photos have to painting. Her work with drawing, photography, and video has received numerous awards, including the James D. Phelan Award in Video, a SECA Award from SFMOMA, the Fleishhacker Foundation's Eureka Fellowship, and an Artadia Award. Rebeca Bollinger's work was included in The California Biennial; 010101: Art in Technological Times; Art in the Anchorage, New York; and the inaugural Bay Area Now, as well as in shows at Angles Gallery, the de Young Museum, Museum Fridericianum, Krannert Art Museum, SFMOMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and Duke University Museum of Art. She has had solo exhibitions at Rena Bransten Gallery, San Francisco and Feigen Contemporary, New York.
