| And Other Essays
Saturday, June 27, 2009 - Sunday, December 20, 2009
And Other Essays expands Rachel Harrison’s exploration of exhibition-making by inviting a number of colleagues from different generations--Nayland Blake, Tomm Burr, Harry Dodge, Alix Lambert, Allen Ruppersberg, and Andrea Zittel--to select and rehang the center’s contemporary art collection. Like Harrison’s work itself, this multifaceted project suggests there is no one, true methodology for looking at art or one uniform principle to curating an exhibition. The exhibition will present over 160 works by more than 88 artists. [more]

| Rachel Harrison: Consider the Lobster
Saturday, June 27, 2009 - Sunday, December 20, 2009
The first major survey of New York-based artist Rachel Harrison.Titled Consider the Lobster, after an essay by the late David Foster Wallace, the survey encompasses over ten years of large-scale installations by Harrison, all of which have been reconfigured for the CCS Bard galleries. In addition to the survey, we have also invited six artists, including Nayland Blake, Tom Burr, Harry Dodge, Alix Lambert, Allen Ruppersberg, and Andrea Zittel, to collaborate with her to re-install works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Consider the Lobster will be on view at the Whitechapel Gallery in London from April 27 through June 20, 2010. [more]

| Anna Ostoya: Marginalia
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - Saturday, December 5, 2009
Anna Ostoya raises important questions about who has access to information and for whom is it legible or useful. The installation is a site-specific abstract collage made of printed and photocopied papers taken from various bulletin boards located on Bard’s campus that references the transparency of information within an institution of higher education. This can be perceived as pure abstraction without reference to the real world while simultaneously touching upon political aspects of minimal and conceptual art practices. [more]

| Rod Dickinson in collaboration with Steve Rushton: Who, What, Where, When, Why and How
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Who, What, Where… investigates the historical role of the government press briefing in the materialization of certain political realities. The work presents the footage and the script of a televisual press briefing on the subject of war, delivered by a presidential and a military figure in a meticulously constructed press conference environment. The script is composed solely of fragments of press statements of the past thirty years, showing how language and media are used for the governing of public consent. Opening reception: Wednesday, November 18th, 6:15 p.m. [more]

Upcoming Exhibitions and Events
| Wyoming Evenings: What is the Good of Work? (2/4)
Saturday, December 5, 2009
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]

| Living Under the Same Roof: The Marieluise Hessel Collection and the Center for Curatorial Studies
Saturday, February 20, 2010 - Sunday, June 6, 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]

| Philippe Parreno
Saturday, May 1, 2010 - Sunday, December 19, 2010
The exhibition will explore Philippe Parreno’s work with moving images, focusing 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 1968, a new work looking back at the the funeral train of Robert F. Kennedy. Paris-based cinematographer Darius Khondji worked closely with Parreno on both The Invisible Boy and 1968. Known for visually sumptous 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 in Zurich, Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Curated by Maria Lind. Opening reception: Saturday, May 1, 2010 1:00 - 4:00 pm [more]
