Headlands Center for the Arts to Bring Brent Green to UNTITLED, SAN FRANCISCO Art Fair This Weekend

Headlands Center for the Arts presents a new work by multidisciplinary artist Brent Green at the inaugural Untitled, San Francisco art fair at Pier 70 in San Francisco, January 13-15, 2017. Untitled, San Francisco is the first iteration of the Untitled, Art fair outside Miami where it originated in 2012.

Green's new work, Study for Lesser Satellites (2016), comprises three "violin dresses"-hoop-skirt-style structures made of wood, cloth, steel, and violin and cello strings-that can be worn and, when rotated, played by bowing the strings. Intended as sculptural installation, set design, and performance costumes alike, Green's violin dresses invite multiple forms of inquiry, interpretation, and engagement. Green's installation will be on view at the Headlands Center for the Arts' booth, and performances will take place intermittently during the run of the fair.
