DESCRIPTION:$10 General Admission, FREE Admission for Headlands Members\n\nWhat does 
 the green movement mean for art and vice versa? Bay Area writer and 
 environmentalist Katie Kurtz considers this question via a practice she has 
 coined “visual eco-criticism.” The term visual eco-criticism is a lens 
 through which to analyze environmentally-related art and to consider visual 
 art and visual culture from an “eco-critical” perspective. For several 
 years, Kurtz has been engaged with questions of how visual culture impacts 
 the environmental movement and the affects of the green movement on visual 
 art. During a short Program Residency at Headlands this summer, Kurtz will 
 develop the concept of visual eco-criticism through an essay starting a 
 formal conversation around these ideas. Kurtz considers the work of 
 photographer Barry Underwood (AIR ’09), German installation artist 
 Christel Dillbohner, and multidisciplinary, San Francisco-based artist 
 Christine Lee as case studies to directly test her thesis. \n\nThis public 
 program is presented in partnership with the San Jose Institute of 
 Contemporary Art. Christel Dillbohner’s Ice Floe, a site-specific, 
 sculptural installation that is at once a meditative environment as well as 
 a catalyst for dialogue around the urgency of climate change in the Arctic, 
 will be on view at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art from August 
 8–September 30, 2009.\n\nPlease RSVP to public programs by visiting
