Headlands Center for the Arts

Project Space

Housed in two large, light-filled studios in Building 944, Project Space functions as working studios and occasional exhibition space. Open and free to the public five days a week, you’re invited to come by and see what’s happening in there now.

Present Tense | 2012-13 Graduate Fellows Exhibition |Guest Curator Christian L. Frock

Upcoming | Summer Artists in Residence

Evan Bissell | Interdisciplinary | California | June 24 – August 16
Bissell collects auto-ethnographic data through group interviews, research, and art-making, transforming his findings into larger-than-life portraits and public installations about social issues such as race, youth culture, and incarceration.

José Carlos Teixeira | Film/Video/New Media | Portugal | July 11 – August 23
Teixeira engages his film subjects through simple prompts, asking them to perform a specific action or respond to a particular question. Capturing responses as series of clips, Teixeira’s films present composite views of multiple reactions to seemingly singular actions or ideas.

More About Project Space

As a component of the Artists in Residence (AIR) Program, Project Space features artists whose work is designed to be socially engaging. Projects often require visitor participation to be fully realized, so we invite you to visit, inquire, and be a part of the process. The works conceived in these studios make creative use of the interiors, often pulling inspiration and source material from the surrounding Headlands wilderness, and highlighting the historic beauty of the spaces themselves.

When not used as a working studio, these spaces often feature curated exhibitions that are thematic or show new work by artists of interest.
