Studio Spotlight: Headlands Center for the Arts

The Marin Headlands is just north of San Francisco but worlds away. About halfway along its cape, home to some of the Bay Area's richest biodiversity, is a cluster of former military buildings that now house the Headlands Center for the Arts, unlike any museum or gallery in the city because its art is made on site. Its artists-in-residency program attracts international talent, but the Center keeps things local with a series of open studios, exhibitions, and artist talks for tourist and townie alike. We spoke with Mari Robles, executive director of the Center since 2021, about what it is like to build community in a place where you can see more stars in the sky than people on the streets.

Studio AHEAD: Hi, Mari! Tell us about how you came to Marin. Prior to your start at the Headlands, you were living in New York City, which is pretty much the opposite in terms of geography and pace of life.

Mari Robles: Marin is opposite in every way to NYC (and Chicago!)—coyotes, owls, stars, quiet! Like so many people, I started exploring new parts of myself during the pandemic, and the opportunity to extend that personal adventure to a new home and such an inspiring new mission felt right. And on a very basic level, how could you say no to such a beautiful place?

Studio AHEAD: What’s been the biggest change?

Mari Robles: I welcomed the change of pace, but I must admit, the first blackout in the Headlands was shocking.  I didn’t realize just how dark it could get. That, plus the fact that you can’t get food delivered or grab a taxi out here, can make you feel removed from the rest of the world. Ultimately, however, it’s that remove that allows for a great deal of reflection and an opportunity to commune with nature—all things that make Headlands such a special place for artists, and I’m happy to say, me as well.

Studio AHEAD: Has New York influenced how you approach your current position as executive director? Does Marin affect how you look back at your years in NYC?

Mari Robles: While I was working at The Met, I thought a lot about the conversation between local and global communities, specifically how they seem to be moving on a parallel path. We are living in a time when the most globally impactful thing you can do is to be hyper-responsive to your most immediate community. It’s so easy to overlook, but the impact of that approach radiates outwards and can influence the wider world in such meaningful ways. This was true of my experience in NYC, and based on my experiences so far, I also believe it’s true of the Bay Area.

Studio AHEAD: I love your idea of global and local moving in parallel—that’s a great way to describe how we work as designers.

Perhaps the biggest change from New York, and Chicago and Miami where you have also lived, is that there are far fewer people where you are. Does this create challenges in terms of building a community? We know the AIR program is doing a great job bringing people together….

Mari Robles: Recently, one of our summer residents called Headlands a “parenthesis in the world,” and that really struck me—this place is really so singular in the arts community. Our campus has a strong connection to the rest of the Bay Area while being distinctly separated from it, physically and psychologically. That means it can provide you with moments of heightened attention in which you’re deeply present with yourself, the artwork you’re seeing, your ideas, and your community. In order to experience this, however, you have to surrender to the inconvenience of traveling to this place. And depending on your starting point, that can indeed be daunting. But for those who are undeterred, that inconvenience is always worth it. 

Studio AHEAD: It’s worth it definitely. OK! Let’s talk actual art. A theme we noticed in reading a lot of the current art residents’ statements is the role California’s natural environment plays on their ways of making art. Certainly in our own work, we are always bringing the countryside into our design decisions. When deciding residents, are you looking for artists who are attuned to their surroundings?

Mari Robles: Headlands supports artists who are at an inflection point in their careers. This means they are primed to explore a promising new direction or idea, and that the space, time, resources, and affirmation we offer them will help them plunge deeper into themselves and their work than they might anywhere else. We essentially want to incubate their next artistic incarnation and give them what they need to bring their creative practice to the next level. One of the most beautiful aspects of our residency program is that we have artists from all disciplines from all over the world—from visual artists to writers, dancers to performers, and musicians, all with a mindset of tinkering and exchange. What they share with each other and those who visit their studios—particularly during our Open House events—is often raw and vulnerable. In my mind, seeing a work of art take shape is a defining experience at Headlands. Anyone and anything here can be a catalyst toward a real creative breakthrough.

Currently, VictoriaShen, an experimental sound artist from the Bay, is in residency in our Project Space. She’s making instruments using kites, her body, and obsolete technology, and opens her studio five days a week for everyone to see.

Studio AHEAD: Do you do your own creative work? Or are you more of an organizer/director?

Mari Robles: I did play violin in my twenties, but these days, I’m an avid art lover, supporter, and leader who practices creativity every day in my personal and professional life. I’m not an artist, but I believe in the transformative power of creativity and have seen my life become richer and more meaningful whenever I approach a situation through the lens of possibility and worldmaking.

Studio AHEAD: Speaking of worldmaking, what are some areas—a neighborhood, a favorite vista—that have most delighted you since moving here? 

Mari Robles: In Marin, I recently discovered the Pelican Inn by Muir Beach, and I cannot get enough of the cozy atmosphere and delicious meals. I also frequent Sandrino’s in Sausalito and just love their pizzas, wine selection, and tremendously warm hospitality. And any time I need to be replenished, I take a drive to Hawk Hill; it’s humbling to see the beauty of San Francisco from that distance and then turn towards the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.

Over in the city, going to see a talk at City Arts has become one of my favorite things to do. I really enjoy the range of critical conversations they organize.

Lastly, I’ve also seen a few amazing concerts at the Fox Theater in Oakland—Grace Jones, Nils Frahm—followed by some of the most delicious street food. I love the energy and living of those moments. 

Studio AHEAD: Thank you, Mari!

Today’s destination: Fort Bragg, California

  Fort Bragg is nestled along the stunning Northern California coastline. Whether you drive along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway or opt for a flight, Fort Bragg welcomes you with its coastal charm.

Settle into the serenity of local inns and bed and breakfasts that grace Fort Bragg. Consider accommodations like an Airbnb, VBRO, or chain hotel nearby for a restful retreat with the soothing sounds of the nearby ocean.

You can wear comfortable walking shoes and explore the scenic trails that hug the coastline. The Glass Beach Trail offers a gentle walk with panoramic ocean vistas. At the same time, the Mendocino Headlands State Park trail system provides more extensive options for those seeking a longer coastal adventure. Each step unveils the rugged beauty of the Northern California shore.

Solo coastal adventures require mindfulness of safety. Keep someone informed of your plans, have a fully charged phone, and be aware of tide schedules if venturing close to the shore. The local visitor center and park rangers are valuable resources for ensuring a secure and enjoyable solo exploration.

If it’s running, be sure to take the Skunk Train. It’s unforgettable. This 2-hour, 16-mile, round trip will take you over the Summit (elevation 1,740 feet), through Tunnel #2, and down into the Noyo River Canyon. The railbike experiences offer an entirely new way to see the redwoods.

Allocate time for relaxation and reflection along the shores of Fort Bragg. Discover hidden coves for quiet contemplation or indulge in a spa day at one of the local wellness retreats. Let the soothing sounds of the Pacific Ocean become the backdrop to your moments of personal introspection.

  Today’s Mistake- Losing my earbud

  I have lost multiple earbuds, and that hurts. I drop them, they fall out of my bag, or I leave them behind. I recently purchased a more expensive brand of earbuds, so I hope that this will improve my sound quality and make me less likely to lose them. Do you have tips on this, too?

  Today’s Travel Advice: For dry skin, use protection.

  As the weather gets colder, my skin gets drier. I use more skincare products during the winter months. I use it on my fingernails, hands, and lips. Temporarily protect your cracked or chapped skin with a petroleum-based barrier. It will also protect your skin from cuts, scrapes, burns, and the drying effects of wind and cold weather. Don’t use this on deep wounds, animal bites or serious burns.

Glick Center for Glass in Muncie, IN. Cole recently was a visiting scholar at the Geppert Academy of Fine Art in Wroclaw, Poland as a recipient of a Fulbright.

Over the years, Cole has participated in several artist residency programs including the Appalachian Center for Crafts in Smithville, TN, Ucross Foundation in Ucross, WY, and the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, CA. His work has been exhibited frequently at Art Basel Miami and has been included in prestigious museum shows at the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC, and at the John Michael Kohler Center for the Arts, Sheboygan, WI. It has been said that in the arts we tell lies to get at the truth. I use different materials and perceptual perspectives to get at an idea from several vantage points. I am interested in the intersection of personal histories and how their recalling changes over time. I see my work as elements of personal navigation. How do we relate to the stars, the sea, or each other? Carl Sagan said, “We are all made of stardust.” It is no wonder that we have navigated by the stars even before we had the capacity to record our own stories.

Attractions That You Can Resist In Your SF Sight Seeing

A massive bridge painted International Orange, a park with more than 1,000 acres, or a city where modern art and culture converge are frequently SF Sightseeing images that spring to mind when someone thinks about San Francisco. While these classics never lose their allure, there are many more reasons to come to San Francisco. You might be surprised by where most guests go.

If you are also on your San Francisco Sightseeing, then there are several attractions that you cannot simply resist. In this blog, you are going to know about such attractions that you must pay a visit.

Golden Gate

It was formerly referred to as "the bridge that was never constructed," but now it is one of the contemporary world's seven wonders. This spectacular bridge, which is maybe San Francisco's most recognisable sight, was completed in 1937 after just a four-year battle against ferocious winds, dense fog, dangerous tides, rocks, and other obstacles. The pathways of the 1.7-mile bridge, which connects San Francisco with the Marin Headlands, are accessible to walkers, bikers, and people in wheelchairs throughout the day.

The Prestigious

The Presidio, formerly a military outpost, is now a national park destination and recreational haven with breathtaking views, lovely paths, and cultural and architectural treasures. In 2022, the eagerly awaited Presidio Tunnel Tops, which slowly fall over Highway 101, were operational. It has swiftly turned into a popular outdoor location for both locals and guests. The OUTPOST, an amazing children's play area available all year long, is a favourite among children of all ages. Stop at any of the food service sellers when you're hungry for delectable food, drinks, or ice cream. The First Sunday Late afternoon series is presented by The Tunnel Tops throughout the summer and the fall on the Public Stage that is situated while behind Presidio Visitor Center. Come for a walk, a picnic, a hike, or to see an exhibit.

Conclusion

These are two most attractions that you must visit. If you want explore these sights, you can visit Premium SF Tours.

Albany Bulb

As we stand in the center of the amphitheater, you point to the changes you notice all around - remnants from this past life, crumbled, barely traceable. Along the trails, abandoned art objects hide in untamed brush. Each discovery surfaces like a rare touch with another world, a distant past or future (what’s the difference?) - the word MOTHER written on a slab of concrete, the ambiguous animal head propped up on a spire, emerging from a mountain of painted junk. You search for the underground library, only to unearth a clearing.  I read that it burned down in 2014 - the origin of the fire remains unknown.

Albany Bulb, a former landfill, was home to a community of artists that managed to survive, for 20 years, on the margins of the state. Albany eventually got tired of the unlawful commune at the Bulb, though, and claimed ownership of the area: In 2016, the Albany city council approved plans to create a city park out of the space. Although the agreement holds no legal weight, it sets the foundation for the city to approve budget funds for the park.

Across the water, exactly one building protrudes from the dense gray fog. Though the sight isn’t new, it strikes me as apocalyptic every time - we agree about the deathly overtones. I don’t know how else to describe it. San Francisco is especially dystopian on a foggy day, hovering, in free space, over a blanket of clouds. On the West side, we observe the peaceful disarray of the headlands. The wake of disaster often paves way for striking phenomena - I wonder how many earthquakes it took for us to get here, on this peninsula, among the tidelands.
