SITE-BASED PRACTICES
a workshop led by David Buuck & Jessica Tully
Marin Headlands Bunkers
Sunday June 21, 11am-2pm
co-sponsored by Small Press Traffic & the Headlands Center for the Arts
Please join writer David Buuck and artist Jessica Tully for a site-specific workshop at the former military bunkers in the Marin Headlands. We will explore a wide range of methods and practices related to site-based writing and art practices, including several on-site exercises and experiments. This workshop is designed for ALL levels of interested writers and artists, to explore how we engage place, site, environment and the political histories therein as writers, artists, and citizens. We will discuss and explore writing and research techniques as well as much more performative and embodied strategies of site-work, so be prepared to try new ways of thinking, moving, and working!
David Buuck is an alumni artist in residence this June at Headlands Center for the Arts. He is contributing editor at Artweek, and teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute. Recent publications include The Shunt (Palm Press) and Buried Treasure Island, a guidebook printed in conjunction with an installation and audio-tour by BARGE (the Bay Area Research Group in Enviro-aesthetics).
Jessica Tully is a conceptual artist working at the intersection of culture and politics. From hip-hop water ballet to a rock opera of live construction equipment to voter education drives, her site-specific performances, videos, drawings and campaigns are set within socially charged public spaces. In 2008 she debuted a new stencil series and walking tour entitled Syndicate commissioned by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for the Bay Area Now 5 triennial exhibition.
Note: We will meet at the Headlands Center Dining Hall at 11 for introductory remarks and head out from there. We will arrange for car-pooling to the site for those who need it. There will be optional pre-workshop readings. Bring notebook, camera, sunscreen and/or hat, outdoor shoes, layers for cold, etc. The Marin Headlands is home to several former military installations, including the bunkers, the Nike Missile Site, and the current home of the Headlands Center for the Arts.
$40 general public / $30 students and members of Headlands Center for the Arts and/or Small Press Traffic.
Class is limited to 20 participants.

New Work Alert! Pedestrian Dance Party
Installation and performance by Jessica Tully.
Running along side the 101 overpass at Cesar Chavez Street there is a pedestrian bridge. At its apex, artist Jessica Tully lays down 10 feet of linoleum, and places a boom box in the middle of it. Electronic break beats and soul rhythms intermingle with the constant sound of the traffic below. Artists and passerbys move through this space and join the dance floor or watch from a safe distance. A dance floor can be anywhere and should be everywhere - and dancing can even happen in mid air. (Audience participation encouraged).
Other-specific work by:
Torreya Cummings, Nina Elder, Alicia Escott,
Chris Fitzpatrick, Julia Goodman, Justin Hurty,
Cameron Kelly, Elyse Mallouk, Raphael Noz,
Brandon Olsen, Weston Teruya, and
Imin Yeh
INTERIM INFILLS:
The Bay Area is full of beautiful and functional public space. However, there are spaces that while technically both “public” and “functional” fail to coincide with our perceptions of what is desirable and recreationally useable. As the urban network expands and highways are built, crisscrossing in mid-air, bisecting neighborhoods and skewing horizons into abstract zigzags, the underneath and in-between spaces become more plentiful, but in their dark, damp shadiness, not necessarily more attractive to the common pedestrian.
A major junction off of highway 101, the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Potrero, (once the site of Bonnie Ora Sherk’s historic public work, “The Farm”), is a surreal tangle of asphalt, whirring automobiles, and dark acute angles where cement meets earth littered with trash and discarded drug paraphernalia. Urban planners have attempted to make this concrete jungle traversable by implementing narrow walkways and footbridges, but have neglected to explore its potential as more than a thoroughfare, and one best avoided at that. The highway underpass is but one example of the abundance of potentially useable civic zones that exist as simultaneously available and seemingly off limits. This peripheral space represents the often present boundary between potential and actual accessibility.
INTERIM INFILLS is an exhibition that will not only explore this particular underused and underappreciated urban matrix, but also the general defining process of public space in any city. The exhibition responds to this strangely beautiful transit zone by creating stopping points throughout. These projects will be temporal or permanent, subtle or eye-catching, objects or performance/projections, silly or contemplative—but will all be site specific and installed without permission (or dare we say Guerilla-style).
Opening info: Sunday June 21, 5-8:30
The work will remain on view in the site for as long as it lasts.
Because the exhibition is sited over a relatively expansive area, the opening headquarters will be held in the back of a big white truck parked along Potrero Ave. all the way at the end next to the baseball field. Inside the van will be site maps and documentation of the various projects. We will have some beer on hand, but we encourage B.Y.O and will provide brown paper bags for your beverage of choice.
INTERIM INFILLS is a Zero Capital project curated by Sally Szwed and Dan Phelan. for more info on this global non-profit visit: zerocapital.net
