Through a range of programs for artists and the public, we offer opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and exchange, and build understanding and appreciation for the role of art in society.

Born in New Zealand and raised in the United States, England, Hugh Pocock's work seeks a location of the points of transaction between culture and natural phenomena. This piece features his residency experience at Headlands Center for the Arts.

The confluence of labor, machinery, civic/institutional infrastructure, and natural resources, such as water, air, dirt, and wind, bring to the surface that which, in its abundance, tends to become invisible to us. The history and metaphor of the human relationship to natural resources, space, time, consumerism, art, and language are among the issues Pocock investigates in his sculptures, installations, and videos.
