Sunday, October 26, 2025
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Djerassi Resident Artists Program
2325 Bear Gulch Road, Woodside, CA 94062
This fall marks the third iteration of NAVIGATION, an ongoing series led by alumni artist Alex H Nichols. For one day only, local and international artists gather at Djerassi to create ephemeral works around this year's theme: LINGERING.
LINGERING:
-a duration, not a pace
-an act of holding and staying
-being time, not time passing
-a recalibration of the chronological impulse
Inspired by Byung-Chul Han's The Scent of Time: A Philosophical Essay on the Art of Lingering, the day invites guests to pause, connect, and experience art as time suspended.
THE EXPERIENCE
Guests will walk down to the Old Barn, beginning by sharing a Japanese tasting bento prepared by chefs Yusuke Konno and Saya Yaegashi. A guided journey follows, moving between installations, performances, and conversations. Each participant will receive a hand-printed booklet and map to accompany their exploration.
Together with Djerassi Program, Alex H Nichols cultivates a space of collaboration, creativity, and community.
