The
Project Space at Headlands Center for the Arts is the only
part of the complex open for the public to look at art.
It's not an exhbition place, per se, but a very large studio
with an open door policy. The Project Space is open 5 days
per week, from 12 to 5. I was invited to be the Project
Space artist in August, 2005. It was a total honor to be
invited to Headlands, and I took the open-to-the-public
policy pretty seriously. Not only did I try to be friendly
and eager to engage, I also published a weekly publication
so I could share with visitors what they missed by not visiting
sooner.
The
publications were a blow-by-blow of days spent within the
walls of the Project Space, the trials of dealing with an
extremely fussy knitting machine, and of the mice running
wild in the house. It also featured letters to the editor,
a top 10 song list (of songs popular in the Project Space)
and photos of goings-on around HCA. Last Week in the
Project Space was distributed free of charge to visitors
and staff in or near the Project Space.
