"Pictures of You," The Headlands Center for the Arts 2022-23 Graduate Fellowship Exhibition, opens Saturday, July 8, with a reception 5-7PM at San Francisco's The Lab.
‘Taking its title from the 1990 goth-pop anthem by The Cure, the exhibition draws on the song's potent metaphor: the uncanny experience of loss, and the human impulse to tangibly fill the resulting emotional void. No matter how well crafted, these melancholy "pictures" become powerful, yet superficial, surrogates composed through ghostly traces. Curated by Marc Mayer, "Pictures of You" features work by Headlands Graduate Fellows Lexygius Sanchez Calip, Shao-Feng Hsu, Markus Kager, Ahn Lee, Joshua Moreno, Nicole Shaffer, and Whitney Vangrin.’
