ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The first of a series of four exhibitions celebrating Headlands Center for the Artsʼ 30th
Anniversary year, De-Mobbing brings together a collection of California-based artistsʼ work centered
on the process of demobilization: the release from active military duty. As the beginning of the end of
war, demobilization is the first step towards recovering from devastation by turning away from patterns
of conflict toward more positive configurations of resource and society.
Though not all the work in this exhibition is thematically about war in an explicit way, it encompasses a
range of alternative visions from the utopian to the dystopian. As an ensemble, the work represents the
affects generated from approaching apocalypse, but also strips back to a blank slate of beginning
again, pointing to ambiguities of human potential for creativity and self-destruction, marked by power
and powerlessness, pride and pathos, possibility and failure.
