Faculty Seminars
Spring 2013
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
7 pm
Olin, Room 102presents
Bring ‘em back alive: Genomics in the jungle
There is a rich tradition of exploration and collection in the biological sciences. Although we might think of such studies as remnants of the 20th or even 19th Centuries, genomics has become accessible enough that we can ask meaningful genetic and evolutionary questions based on explorative field biology. In this talk, Philip Johns recounts a recent research venture he and a student undertook in Borneo and Malaysia, attempts to put this into a historical context, and outlines a vision of combining genomics, field, and behavioral biology.
This seminar will be held in Olin 102 beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Please join us for a reception in the Olin atrium at 6:30 p.m.
For more information, call 845-758-7490, or e-mail jcerulli@bard.edu.

CCS Bard Speakers Series : Kelly Nipper
Monday, May 6, 2013
3–5 pm
CCS Bard, Seminar Room 1Kelly Nipper will give an Artist's Talk in conjunction with her project at CCS Bard, Circle Circle, curated by CCS Bard Curatorial Fellow 2012-2013, Alicia Ritson.
In her research-based media practice, Kelly Nipper works with dancers, generating photographs, videos, and events. She explores how and where the formal and social fields of each of these mediums relate, paying particular attention to their spatial, temporal, and expressive capacities. Nipper considers the acts of transcription and translation as she shifts between modes of production that have distinct sets of properties and demands. Repetition and inscription become processes through which to experience ideas and concepts as forms or things.
Artist Bio
Nipper’s work with performance expands upon her background in photography, film, and video. She received her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1995 after studying within the photography program. Her BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design, received in 1993, was in media arts with a concentration in photography. Among Nipper’s most important interlocutors has been Allan Kaprow—the artist who conceived of Environments and Happenings—for whom Nipper worked for several years as studio manager and archivist.
Nipper has been the subject of solo exhibitions and performances at several national and international institutions, including Kunsthaus Zürich; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tramway, Glasgow; and Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston. She has been included in numerous important group exhibitions, including Danser Sa Vie, Centre Pompidou, Paris (2011); 2010: Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2010); While Bodies Get Mirrored. An Exhibition about Movement, Formalism and Space, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich (2010); and Dance with Camera, Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia (2009). The recipient of a Louis Comfort Foundation Tiffany Award and a Performa Commission, Nipper’s work is in the public collections of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, among others.
About The Speakers Series: Each semester the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College hosts a regular program of lectures by the foremost artists, curators, art historians, and critics of our day, situating the school and museum’s concerns within the larger context of contemporary art production and discourse. Lectures are open to students and faculty, as well as to the general public, and will also be documented through video and/or audio recordings, which will reside in the CCS Bard Library and Archives.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Between Global Capitalism and Global Warming: Saudi Arabia, the US and the Ends of the Arab Spring
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
7 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaIn 1945 the State Department declared that the young kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s oil resources constituted “a stupendous source of strategic power, and one of the greatest material prizes in world history.” The United States, which emerged as the preeminent global power after World War II, forged a lasting alliance with the house of al-Saud. That alliance has been shaken on more than one occasion, but grew particularly tight after the 1973/74 “energy crisis.”
This talk will probe key aspects of the evolving partnership between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
Why have successive U.S. presidents committed the country to “energy independence” but failed to deliver, despite the threats posed by global warming?
What does Saudi Arabia and the oil wealth of the Arabian Gulf have to do with the ascendance of finance within global capitalism?
How have the strains between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia after 9/11 manifested in their respective approaches to the so-called Arab Spring?
What does the alliance mean today for Americans and for the pro-democracy movements of the Middle East?
Charles Anderson is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Bard College. Charles was trained at New York University in the joint program in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and History. He is broadly interested in the social and political history of the modern Middle East.
Charles has articles and reviews published or forthcoming in Arab Studies Journal, International Journal of Middle East Studies, and Review of Middle East Studies, and is a member of the editorial team of the Arab Studies Journal.

Premiere Performance of the Bard Baroque Ensemble
Friday, May 10, 2013
4:30 pm
László Z. Bitó ’60 Conservatory BuildingThe Bard Baroque Ensemble presents Besides Bach, a treasury of historical music from composers including Schütz, Scarlatti, Biber, and others who directly influenced the era's most well-known musician. Featuring Caldara's vocal canons, Frescobaldi's trombone canzonas, and Corelli's flashy Folia variations, this program shows how the intense beauty of baroque music blossomed well before anyone knew the name of J.S. Bach.
About the group:
The newly-formed Bard Baroque Ensemble is dedicated to the exploration and performance of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Comprised of talented musicians from the Conservatory and the College, the group features vocalists alongside string, wind, brass, and percussion soloists. Their repertoire ranges from chamber sonatas and canzonas, to sacred motets, secular arias and even country dance music. In weekly rehearsals, ensemble members learn various historical performance practices and improvisatory techniques, which are then incorporated into the their musical interpretations. Future plans in the 2013-14 season include performances of Couperin's Les Nations and a semi-staged Scarlatti serenata.

Speakers Series: João Ribas
What is it that makes today's solo exhibitions so different, so appealing?
Monday, May 13, 2013
3–5 pm
CCS Bard, Seminar Room 1The solo exhibition is conspicuously overlooked in the voluminous literature on curatorial practice and the historiography of exhibitions. This even though it plays a significant role in forming the conventions of exhibition making since the 18th century.
What accounts for this repressed in curatorial discourse, as opposed to the group or thematic exhibition, or the events of biennials and international surveys? What issues,both practical and ideational, logistical and methodological, is the solo exhibition explicitly concerned with?
How might a genealogy of the solo exhibition propose the relevance and scope of this typology today?
João Ribas (b. 1979, Braga, Portugal) is Curator at the MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was previously Curator at The Drawing Center, in New York.
His recent exhibitions include In the Holocene (MIT List Visual Arts Center) an exhibition on art and speculation spanning from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and exhibitions of the work of Amalia Pica, Joachim Koester, Akram Zaatari, Cheyney Thompson, The Otolith Group, Stan VanDerBeek, Otto Piene, Frances Stark, and Matt Mullican, among others. He has been a contributor to numerous publications, including Contemporary Art: From 1989 to the Present (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013) and Realism Materialism Art (CCS Bard, forthcoming). His recent publications include Cheyney Thompson (Walter Koenig; Amalia Pica (MCA Chicago); Otto Piene: Lichtballett (MIT List Visual Arts Center, 2012) and an edited volume of the writings of Frances Stark (MIT List, 2010). He is the winner of four consecutive AICA Exhibition Awards (2008–11) and of an Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award (2010). A visiting lecturer for institutions and organizations worldwide, and has been an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts, New York, and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
About The Speakers Series: Each semester the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College hosts a regular program of lectures by the foremost artists, curators, art historians, and critics of our day, situating the school and museum’s concerns within the larger context of contemporary art production and discourse. Lectures are open to students and faculty, as well as to the general public, and will also be documented through video and/or audio recordings, which will reside in the CCS Bard Library and Archives.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Transmon-phonon Coupling of Plasma Oscillations and Lattice Vibrations
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
12 pm
RKC 111Andrew Skinner
Candidate for the position in Physics
In the transmon quantum bit, or qubit, current oscillates back and forth between two superconducting islands separated by a Josephson tunnel junction. One expects from conservation of momentum and energy that the switching of the current would cause the substrate to vibrate. These quantized lattice vibrations are known as phonons. For a representative model transmon we derive the phonon emission pattern and numerically integrate the device's corresponding decoherence and relaxation rates.Sponsored by: Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing.

Degree Recital: James Haber, horn
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
8 pm
László Z. Bitó '60 Conservatory BuildingJames Haber, horn, began his musical studies under the loving encouragement of his mother, Mezzo-Soprano Caroline Chanin. At the age of five he started studying violin, but after three unsuccessful years of Suzuki book 1 switched to trumpet. For the next eight years he studied with Jazz musician Bucky Milam, attending the Litchfield Jazz Festival in 2006 and 2007.
Around this time James picked up the French horn, suggested by his father, and began studying with Ankush Kumar Bahl and later Marjorie Callaghan of Western Connecticut State University. During these years, James played with the Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra under the direction of Maestro’s Anush Kumar Bahl and Petko Dimitrov, in addition to playing in the Norwalk Youth Symphony under Maestro Tara Simoncic. He also performed with the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra, where he narrated “Peter and the Wolf” in 2008.
Later that year James was accepted to the Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division, studying horn with Julia Pilant and composition with Manuel Sosa. In 2009 James enrolled at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music where he studied with Roland Pandolfi. The summer after his freshman year, James caught a fly ball at a Cleveland Indian’s game, a good omen for the years ahead. After one year at Oberlin, James transferred to the Bard College Conservatory of Music where he now studies with Julia Pilant, Julie Landsman, Jeffery Lang, and Barbara Jöstlein. He is also pursuing a joint-degree in History and Asian Studies at Bard College.
Since transferring to Bard, James has played with the new music group, Contemporaneous; where he also serves as Out-reach Coordinator. He has participated in a variety of summer festivals, including the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, and the Atlantic Brass Quintet Seminar. In 2012, he accompanied both the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony and the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra on tours of China and Taiwan. James is expected to graduate in 2014.

Fisher Center, LUMA TheaterTickets: Free, reservations required
Urban Renewal is a meditation on perception, public policy, and the significance of the buildings we live in, from a child's rigorously unsentimental point of view. The multimedia solo performance maps an experience of growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, caught in the crosshairs of power and history. This is a work-in-progress presentation by writer, designer, and performer Kyle deCamp in collaboration with videomaker Joshua Thorson.Sponsored by: Fisher Center; Live Arts Bard.
