Living Under the Same Roof: The Marieluise Hessel Collection and the Center for Curatorial Studies

Saturday, February 20, 2010 - Sunday, May 23, 2010
Living Under the Same Roof is the public part of a process of looking into the collection of the Hessel Museum of Art with the students of CCS Bard. The exhibition will present a mapping of the collection, in an attempt to open up to an interested audience different ways of entering it. By focusing on the artist’s books and the film/video collection, the exhibition intends to deal with notions of display, creating an apparatus that articulates the specificities of each artwork and its relations to the audience. A series of talks with artists whose works are in the collection is part of the program. Curated by CCS Bard curator in residence, Ana Paula Cohen. Opening reception: Saturday, February 20, 1:00 - 5:00 pm    [more]
Location: CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art

Wyoming Evenings: What is the Good of Work? (4/4)

Saturday, March 13, 2010
The series takes its starting point in the observation that today the artist—defined by creativity, unconventionality, and flexibility—appears to be the role model for contemporary workers. Bohemians in general and the artists in particular are the perfect entrepreneurs. Wyoming Evenings is organized by the Goethe-Institut New York and the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, and curated by Maria Lind and Simon Critchley.    [more]

Philippe Parreno

Saturday, June 26, 2010 - Sunday, December 19, 2010
The exhibition will focus on three later pieces: Zidane: A XXIst Century Portrait, a feature-length portrait of a football player made in collaboration with Douglas Gordon; the short film The Invisible Boy; and June 8, 1968, a new work looking back at the funeral train of Robert F. Kennedy. Paris-based cinematographer Darius Khondji worked closely with Parreno on both The Invisible Boy and June 8, 1968. Known for visually sumptuous cinematography in films such as Delicatessen and Seven, Khondji will be engaged in a literal as well as a metaphorical conversation with Parreno for the exhibition. Philippe Parreno at CCS Bard is the final part of a series of retrospectives taking place from 2009 to 2010 at Kunsthalle Zurich, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Curated by Maria Lind. Opening reception: Saturday, June 26, 2010 1:00 - 4:00 pm    [more]
