Press release from Stephen Vincent Kobasa

Curated by Jeff Ostergren, Head explores the manifold meanings and multiple possibilities of the word "head"—figurative, psychological, metaphoric, sexual, structural, mechanical, geographic are to be put forth and explored in a space which itself has a curious formal resemblance to a head. In a library, no less, the content of which all derives from a head and goes into other heads. Heads produce things. Ideas, products, experiences, moments, emotions. Heads are where things come from.
