Exhibitions and Events

Sunday, March 17 –Sunday, March 31

The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College presents the first in a series of three student-curated thesis exhibitions

The exhibitions—Minor Alterations, Landscaping Ahead, and Shift—are organized by master's degree candidates in the Center's graduate program in Curatorial Studies. In addition to these, Amada Cruz, director of the CCS Museum, will curate Room with a View, an exhibition of works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection, on permanent loan to the CCS. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 17, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Admission to the museum and to the reception is free.

Room with a View, curated by CCS Museum director Amada Cruz, brings together work by artists Bernd and Hilla Becher, Günther Förg, Mona Hatoum, Tracey Moffatt, Jack Pierson, and Thomas Struth that feature windows as formal motifs or metaphors for an alternate reality. All works are drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection, on permanent loan to the CCS.

On April 14, the day of the exhibition openings, free bus transportation will be available from New York City to the Center for Curatorial Studies. A chartered bus will leave from SoHo at 11:00 a.m. and depart from the Center at 4:00 p.m. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the Center at 845-758-7598 no later than Friday, April 12. Transportation is provided through the generosity of Howard and Donna Stone.

Exhibitions are free and open to the public. Programs at the Center, including the spring exhibitions, are supported by the Friends of the Center for Curatorial Studies and by the Center's annual benefit for student scholarships and exhibitions. Additional support for the spring exhibitions has been provided by the Monique Beudert Fund and Marieluise Hessel. For further information, call the CCS at 845-758-7598 or e-mail ccs@bard.edu.
