About
July 8–July 29, 2023 Opening Reception: July 8, 5:00–7:00pm Gallery Hours: Thursday–Saturday, Noon–5:00pm Tickets: Free Released in 1990, The Cure's Pictures of You brims with nostalgia, heartache, destruction, and desire. While this exhibition of work by Headlands' 2022–23 Graduate Fellows pays homage to the goth-pop anthem, the song also serves as a potent metaphor: expressing the uncanny experience of loss and the human impulse to meticulously create an idea of a person, place, or thing to endeavor to fill a gaping emotional void. No matter how well crafted, these melancholy “pictures” become powerful, yet superficial surrogates composed through ghostly traces (recollections, fragments of desires, regrets, and dreams). The artists featured in this exhibition make works that invoke a sense of impermanence, speculation, spirituality, transformation, alchemy, myth, and history by assembling fragments to create metaphorical reliquaries. Artists: Lexygius Sanchez Calip Shao-Feng Hsu Markus Kager Ahn Lee Joshua Moreno Nicole Shaffer Whitney Vangrin
