A lecture by Lauren Klein, Assistant Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology
We live in what's been called the "golden age" of data visualization, and yet, the graphical display of quantitative information has a long history, one that dates to the Enlightenment and arguably before. This talk will explore the origins and applications (both historical and contemporary) of data visualization techniques, locating the emergence of the visualizing impulse in eighteenth-century ideas about data, evidence, and observation. By illuminating these ideas at work in examples past and present, I will show how we can begin to identify the arguments—political as much as aesthetic—that underlie all instances of visual display. In so doing, I will also demonstrate how the digital humanities, through the incorporation of ideas from the fields of media studies, information visualization, and the history of science, might be expanded to consider how data might be conceptualized, visualized, and deployed in order to advance humanistic critique.Sponsored by: Computer Science Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Experimental Humanities Program; Science, Technology, and Society Program.

Rebecca Mead Reading
Monday, April 7, 2014
RKC 103
"A stylish meditation," My Life In Middlemarch, is "a personal reflection on Eliot's masterpiece and the meanings it's had for Rebecca Mead, a British journalist living in New York City. . . . Mead is determined to make the novel that Virginia Woolf famously described as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" accessible again, to a culture whose definition of maturity has altered over the 150 years since Middlemarch was published. Eliot subtitled her book "A Study of Provincial Life", and its interest in ordinary lives is paralleled by Mead's interest in ordinary readers, the novel's wide perspective that, Mead contends, "makes Middlemarchers of us all". —The GuardianRebecca Mead was educated at Oxford and NYU, and is a staff writer at the New Yorker. She is the author of My Life in Middlemarch (Crown, 2014). She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and son.Sponsored by: Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.

Hegeman 204
What is it like to write a biography of someone about whom there is not much concrete evidence but an abundance of innuendo and blame? Known to Europe as Roxelana, “the Russian woman”, she was the slave concubine of Suleyman I (“the Magnificent”), who freed her and made her his wife, breaking multiple precedents to do so. Known as Hurrem among the Ottomans, she was blamed for Suleyman’s most controversial acts, while at the same time she was a great patron of charitable foundations built across the empire. This presentation will discuss some of the challenges and the pleasures of writing for a non-academic audience.
All are welcome!Sponsored by: Gender and Sexuality Studies Program; Historical Studies Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program; Religion Program.

The Written Arts program presents a reading by Rikki Ducornet (Bard '64). A poet, fiction writer, and visual artist, Ducornet's many books include the recent novels Netsuke (Coffee House Press), Gazelle (Alfred A. Knopf), The Fan-Maker's Inquisition (Henry Holt), and Phosphor in Dreamland (Dalkey Archive Press).
“Netsuke comes at the summit of Rikki Ducornet’s passionate, caring, and accomplished career. Its readers will pick up pages of painful beauty and calamitous memory, and their focus will be like a burning glass; its examination of a ruinous sexual life is as delicate and sharp as a surgeon’s knife.” —WILLIAM GASS

László Z. Bitó '60 Conservatory Building
Bard College’s own student baroque-music ensemble offers an eclectic two-part program featuring excerpts from J.S. Bach’s monumental collection, The Musical Offering (BWV1079). The performance pairs this complex contrapuntal suite, based on a “Royal Theme” given by Prussia’s Frederick the Great in 1747, with elegant and occasionally odd instrumental vignettes by Johann’s son, C.P.E. Bach, the Prussian Court composer whose 300th birthday occurred last month. The first half of the program presents English contrapuntal compositions from a previous royal court, that of Elizabeth I, where the madrigals of Thomas Morley, John Wilbye, and John Dowland ruled the age.
Dedicated to the rediscovery and performance of great historical works, BBE vocalists, string players, and wind soloists offer up something to please any musical taste.Sponsored by: Music Program.

Humans are not born with perfect mathematical intuition, to say the least, yet most decisions we make are based on "feel," not calculation. Today you will hear some mind-boggling puzzles (some with solutions, some without) that are designed to help you adjust your intuition when it's about to run off the rails. This talk is aimed at college students (and at anyone who likes to have their mind boggled!).

CCS Bard Seminar Room 1
It seems that an increasing number of curators draw on curatorial discourse when they wish to cover their backs. When assessing their practice more thoroughly, they resort to historical comparisons or theoretical positions beyond art. This is unfortunate, but hardly surprising. Curatorial discourse is widely assumed to be vague enough to minimize any measure of accountability. And yet, to claim this discourse is vague is misleading. It is, rather, a specific operation that sparks a particular theoretical persona in the reader; one that will identify with the curatorial voice, however ambivalently. This lecture will address the above operation, and what it might represent to curators who remain invested in curatorial education. It will also discuss whether the stakes do change when the context is one of acute political tension. Case studies include the CCS Bard Speaker Series 2010-13, Zolghadr’s very own (rather patchy) track record, and others more.
Tirdad Zolghadr is a writer and a curator. The working title of his third novel is Headbanger.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art
Please join us for a performative reading of selections from No Child..., a play written by Nilaja Sun and performed by students enrolled in Sun's Solo Performance course at Bard.
The performance is part of The Third Idiom, a thesis exhibition at The Center for Curatorial Studies curated by graduate student Lindsey Berfond.
No Child… considers the experience of an idealistic teaching artist as she leads a class of Bronx 10th graders to produce a theatrical performance. The critical play exposes the inner workings of an educational system in perpetual crisis — the play’s title refers to the controversial Bush administration policy No Child Left Behind Act — and traces the role of art and artists working in a struggling, “arts-deprived” urban public school.
The Third Idiom initiates an experimental dialogue between systems of formal schooling and education as a form or subject of art production. Positioning critical pedagogy as a theoretical starting point, the project opens up the space of the contemporary art institution as a flexible site for co-investigating the ideological models and circumstances of education. To examine the politics, conditions, and policies of alternative and mainstream educational systems, the project features gallery interventions by Camel Collective, the TEACHABLE FILE, and Wendy Tronrud. Installations in the galleries are further activated by a series of programs, which include performances, conversations, and collaborations with artists, theorists, local public school teachers and students.
FREE: Space is limited, please RSVP to Lindsey Berfond at Lberfond@gmail.com.

Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is one of Japan's best-known artists. During her 2013 David Zwiner exhibition, enthusiastic viewers lined up for hours to experience her immersive mirror-lined environments. Of the postwar Japanese artists, Kusama has been a popular subject. However, due to her autobiographical narrative of mental illness, which she began dictating in 1975, and her voluntary residence in a mental health facility since 1977, her work has been predominantly interpreted as a symptomatic of her illness.
Instead of relying on her autobiography, this talk will give a fresh look at Kusama through an object-based historiography, examining the initial development of Kusama's mirrored-environments between 1965 and 1969, against the backdrop of her milieu that I carefully reconstruct from new archival research to discuss how she established her anti-conformist art against late capitalist society.

This workshop introduces The Nouveaux Commanditaires Program and its commitment to commissioning artworks and artistic research that respond directly to issues of public interest and are sited and contextualized within the terms of civil society. Since the early 1990s, the Fondation de France’s “New Patrons” project has invited citizens to propose and develop works with artists and mediators that negotiate and address a range of local concerns. Building ties between artists, commissioners, and communities in diverse international settings, this workshop will introduce the role of “médiateur” within The Nouveaux Commanditaires context and consider its significance to the larger curatorial and commissioning field via specific projects and artistic practices.
Focused on the aesthetic and ethical terrain explored by three specific artistic practices, the morning session will include dialogs with artists Sven Augustijnen and Camille Henrot, while the afternoon discussion looks closer at the unique opportunities and challenges afforded by new models and approaches to patronage. Engaging a dialog with Nouveaux Commanditaires representatives Xavier Douroux, Thérèse Legierse, and Jérôme Poggi, afternoon session will address how art can negotiate the shifting terms of civil society via new models of commissioning. This workshop is open to CCS Bard faculty and students, as well as the larger Bard College community and public.
Workshop led by CCS Bard faculty member Fionn Meade. CCS Bard graduate student Jocelyn Edens and community organizer Nancy Barton will participate as respondents in both the morning and afternoon sessions.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Preston 110
Nordic Larp is a progressive variant of live role-playing practice that originated in the Nordic countries but today influences game design and performance across the globe. Nordic larpers build detailed, alternative worlds and simulate fictional societies in a wide range of genres, often for multi-day spans of time, with a high level of narrative, aesthetic and political ambition. Nordic larps have authors, but they are a fundamentally co-creative art form, whose performance strategies and production methodologies are generating enormous interest within the contemporary art community.
Larp theorist and critic Johanna Koljonen will give an introduction to the form through brief case studies of larps set in New York in the early years of the AIDS crisis, on a spaceship in the Battlestar Galactica universe, and in Hamlet's Elsinore.
In the second part of the talk, game designer Bjarke Pedersen will speak of his ongoing collaboration with American artist Brody Condon, who has worked with Nordic Larp designers since 2008. He will show documentation and footage from works employing larp elements.

Noble Savages and English Gardeners: Kulturkritik from Rousseau to Goethe
A Faculty Seminar Presented by Franz Kempf
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
7 pm
Olin, Room 102One of the grand designs of the Enlightenment is the transition from the French Garden to the English Garden. With its inherent “culture-nature” juxtaposition, the transition is closely linked to Kulturkritik. Redefining the binary opposition as a “both … and” relationship, Kulturkritik has emerged in recent scholarship as the discursive and self-critical mode of reflection of the Enlightenment. As such, it provides the theoretical framework for my exploration of the English Garden as a utopia and dystopia. Since the English Garden – and its philosophical, political, anthropological, and aesthetic derivatives – figures prominently in Rousseau, Schiller, and Goethe, my argument draws on their works, chief among them the two Discourses, the Reveries, the New Eloise, the Elective Affinities, Faust's monologues and the last scene of the second part of Faust. (The Goethe discussion will reference the Baroque era painter Claude Lorrain but no visuals will be used.)
Please join us for a reception at 6:30 p.m. in the Olin Atrium prior to the event.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumA lecture by Lauren Klein, Assistant Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology
We live in what's been called the "golden age" of data visualization, and yet, the graphical display of quantitative information has a long history, one that dates to the Enlightenment and arguably before. This talk will explore the origins and applications (both historical and contemporary) of data visualization techniques, locating the emergence of the visualizing impulse in eighteenth-century ideas about data, evidence, and observation. By illuminating these ideas at work in examples past and present, I will show how we can begin to identify the arguments—political as much as aesthetic—that underlie all instances of visual display. In so doing, I will also demonstrate how the digital humanities, through the incorporation of ideas from the fields of media studies, information visualization, and the history of science, might be expanded to consider how data might be conceptualized, visualized, and deployed in order to advance humanistic critique.Sponsored by: Computer Science Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Experimental Humanities Program; Science, Technology, and Society Program.

A Reading and Discussion of Her Book My Life In Middlemarch

RKC 103"A stylish meditation," My Life In Middlemarch, is "a personal reflection on Eliot's masterpiece and the meanings it's had for Rebecca Mead, a British journalist living in New York City. . . . Mead is determined to make the novel that Virginia Woolf famously described as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" accessible again, to a culture whose definition of maturity has altered over the 150 years since Middlemarch was published. Eliot subtitled her book "A Study of Provincial Life", and its interest in ordinary lives is paralleled by Mead's interest in ordinary readers, the novel's wide perspective that, Mead contends, "makes Middlemarchers of us all". —The GuardianRebecca Mead was educated at Oxford and NYU, and is a staff writer at the New Yorker. She is the author of My Life in Middlemarch (Crown, 2014). She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and son.Sponsored by: Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.

Silver Professor of History,
New York University
What is it like to write a biography of someone about whom there is not much concrete evidence but an abundance of innuendo and blame? Known to Europe as Roxelana, “the Russian woman”, she was the slave concubine of Suleyman I (“the Magnificent”), who freed her and made her his wife, breaking multiple precedents to do so. Known as Hurrem among the Ottomans, she was blamed for Suleyman’s most controversial acts, while at the same time she was a great patron of charitable foundations built across the empire. This presentation will discuss some of the challenges and the pleasures of writing for a non-academic audience.
All are welcome!

Cancer, Bacteria, and Yeast, Oh My!
A lecture by Rachel Roe-Dale, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Skidmore College
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
4:45 pm
Hegeman 204Several experimental and clinical studies have documented that the order in which chemotherapy drugs are administered affects the outcome of cancer treatment. I present a brief discussion of a simple mathematical mechanism to explain this order dependence in conjunction with more detailed models which investigate the specific relationship between drug order and treatment response in breast cancer chemotherapy and gastric cancer chemotherapy. In all cases, I simulate treatment by bolus injection and employ a pulsing condition to indicate cell kill. I then extend this type of treatment model to my current investigation which considers the dynamics of bacteria and yeast populations. I model these populations as competitive species and simulate antibiotic treatment to investigate how this treatment alters the behavior and dynamics of the populations perhaps leading to an infectious state.

Time and Space Died Yesterday!
An Introduction to the Feverish Sleeplessness of Italian Futurist Art, Literature, Life, 1909-1944
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
5:30 pm
Preston TheaterDid the Futurists get the future right?
In 1909, the Futurists declared, "Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed." More than a 100 years later, is it true, as Valentine de Saint-Point wrote about the Futurist woman, "Women are Furies, Amazons, Semiramis, Joans of Arc, Cleopatras, and Messalinas: combative women who fight more ferociously than males"? Were they right we they demanded, "Let's abolish pasta!"
On the occasion of the impressive exhibition "Italian Futurism, 1909–1944: Reconstructing the Universe" at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Judith Meighan will present an illustrated introduction to startling ideas, art, music, writings, fashion, and cuisine promoted by the always provocative Italian Futurists.
Professor Judith Meighan teaches art history of the last 200 years at Syracuse
University and has spent way too much time, and found some sleeplessness, researching and studying the Italian Futurist movement.Sponsored by: Italian Studies Program.

A Rightful Share: Beyond Gift and Market in the Politics of Distribution
James Ferguson
Professor of Anthropology, Stanford University
Thursday, April 10, 2014
4:45 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumThis paper develops an argument that new kinds of welfare states in the global South are opening up possibilities for new sorts of politics. Against an analysis of the limitations of traditional ideas of nationalization in Africa, it seeks to show that new forms of social assistance are allowing the question of national ownership of wealth to be reimagined in new ways -- ways that may allow the idea of a ”rightful share” to take on a quite different significance than it does in traditional discussions of nationalization of natural resources. Taking recent campaigns for a “Basic Income Grant” (BIG) in South Africa and Namibia as a window onto these new political possibilities, it argues that a new politics of distribution is emerging, in which citizenship-based claims to a share of national wealth are beginning to be recognizable as an alternative to both the paradigm of the market (where goods are received in exchange for labor) and that of “the gift” (where social transfers to those excluded from wage labor have been conceived as aid, charity, or assistance). Beyond the binary of market and gift, the idea of “a rightful share”, it is suggested, opens possibilities for radical political claims that could go far beyond the limited, technocratic aim of ameliorating poverty that dominates existing cash transfer programs.
James Ferguson is the Susan S. and William H. Hindle Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences, and Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University. His research has focused on southern Africa (especially Lesotho, Zambia, South Africa, and Namibia), and has engaged a broad range of theoretical and ethnographic issues. His works include The Anti-Politics Machine: 'Development,' Depoliticization, and Bureaucratic Power in Lesotho; Expectations of Modernity: Myths and Meanings of Urban Life on the Zambian Copperbelt; and Global Shadows: Africa in the Neoliberal World Order.

Premodern Technopolitics? Empire and Infrastructure in the Inka Cloud Forest
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
4:45 pm
Olin, Room 202Infrastructure has recently emerged as core site for innovative research in anthropology, and within the social sciences in general. Much of this work has sought to analyze infrastructures from a technopolitical perspective, whereby there is no a priori distinction to be made between technological artifacts and political projects, with both seen as being inscribed in the other from the very beginning. This talk considers the interpretive possibilities that arise when a technopolitical account is given of pre-modern infrastructure, drawing on the archaeological case of Inka highways in the pre-colonial Andes. It also considers the pitfalls in seeking to translate such analytical frames across modern and non-modern worlds, arguing that in the end, a technopolitical approach must always rely on modernist categories to some degree, even as it seeks to critique them.
Darryl Wilkinson is an archaeological anthropologist whose research addresses the themes of materiality, power and indigenous ontologies in the ancient Andes. He received his PhD from Columbia in 2013, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Cultural Analysis and a member of the 'Objects and Environments' research seminar at Rutgers University. His research has been published in the journals World Archaeology and the Cambridge Archaeological Journal.

Bard Baroque Ensemble
Musical Offerings from the Courts of Elizabeth I and Frederick the Great
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
7:30 pm
László Z. Bitó '60 Conservatory BuildingBard College’s own student baroque-music ensemble offers an eclectic two-part program featuring excerpts from J.S. Bach’s monumental collection, The Musical Offering (BWV1079). The performance pairs this complex contrapuntal suite, based on a “Royal Theme” given by Prussia’s Frederick the Great in 1747, with elegant and occasionally odd instrumental vignettes by Johann’s son, C.P.E. Bach, the Prussian Court composer whose 300th birthday occurred last month. The first half of the program presents English contrapuntal compositions from a previous royal court, that of Elizabeth I, where the madrigals of Thomas Morley, John Wilbye, and John Dowland ruled the age.
Dedicated to the rediscovery and performance of great historical works, BBE vocalists, string players, and wind soloists offer up something to please any musical taste.Sponsored by: Music Program.

Mathematical Puzzles that Stretch Your Intuition
A lecture by Peter Winkler, Dartmouth College
Thursday, April 17, 2014
4:45 pm
Hegeman 308Humans are not born with perfect mathematical intuition, to say the least, yet most decisions we make are based on "feel," not calculation. Today you will hear some mind-boggling puzzles (some with solutions, some without) that are designed to help you adjust your intuition when it's about to run off the rails. This talk is aimed at college students (and at anyone who likes to have their mind boggled!).

The Visitor Talks: Tirdad Zolghadr - Office Hours
Monday, April 21, 2014
3–5 pm
CCS Bard Seminar Room 1It seems that an increasing number of curators draw on curatorial discourse when they wish to cover their backs. When assessing their practice more thoroughly, they resort to historical comparisons or theoretical positions beyond art. This is unfortunate, but hardly surprising. Curatorial discourse is widely assumed to be vague enough to minimize any measure of accountability. And yet, to claim this discourse is vague is misleading. It is, rather, a specific operation that sparks a particular theoretical persona in the reader; one that will identify with the curatorial voice, however ambivalently. This lecture will address the above operation, and what it might represent to curators who remain invested in curatorial education. It will also discuss whether the stakes do change when the context is one of acute political tension. Case studies include the CCS Bard Speaker Series 2010-13, Zolghadr’s very own (rather patchy) track record, and others more.
Tirdad Zolghadr is a writer and a curator. The working title of his third novel is Headbanger.
This talk is given as part of the lecture series The Visitor Talks : Pre-ambulation and Retrospection. Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies; Center for Curatorial Studies.

TONIGHT! - Is It Sweet? Tales of an African Superstar in New York
Monday, April 21, 2014
4 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaThis film is an intimate and irreverent portrait of Ghanaian hip-hop superstar Reggie Ossei Rockstone’s tour of New York. It is an experimental documentary blending footage recorded by the film’s main characters. In West Africa, Rockstone pioneered Twi language rap and hosts reality TV shows. But he is anonymous when he comes to perform for Africans in America. He reunites with both his African American producer DJ Rab Bakari and manager Dhoruba Bin Wahad, a former Black Panther Party leader, who have returned to New York after living in Ghana. As they plan Reggie’s tour, they meet aspiring artists, joke, argue about politics and race, shoot music videos, perform, and hustle.
Director Jesse Weaver Shipley is a filmmaker and ethnographer who has shot documentaries, short fiction, and music videos in New York, London, Accra, Ghana, and Johannesburg, South Africa including the feature documentary Living the Hiplife and the multi-channel video installation Black Star. He is author of the book Living the Hiplife: Celebrity and Entrepreneurship in Ghanaian Popular Music.Sponsored by: Music Program.For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail aeisenbe@bard.edu.
Denouement: Speculating Upon the "Endeles Knot" of Sir Gawain
Arthur Bahr, Associate Professor of Literature, MIT
Monday, April 21, 2014
5–6 pm
Olin, Room 102In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the hero’s chivalric virtue is initially symbolized by the pentangle that he bears on his shield, which the poet calls an “endless knot” because of its geometric perfection and absolute unseverability. At the end of the poem, however, Sir Gawain has associated himself instead with a feminized girdle, or sash, that is more malleable in shape and whose erotic potential was premised upon the potential of untying. “Untying” is also a literal translation of the literary concept of “denouement,” namely the concluding portion of a complex narrative. In this talk, Bahr will look closely at how the poem’s literal knots relate to its literary denouement, as well as at images from the manuscript in which the poem is contained and a related poem by Geoffrey Chaucer, in order to argue for a more expansive understanding of speculation as a form of “close looking” allied with the “close reading” that literary scholars traditionally perform—and as such a more intellectually rigorous activity than the idle guesswork or mere supposition with which speculation is usually associated today.
Arthur Bahr is Associate Professor of Literature at MIT, where he specializes in Old and Middle English literature; the structure and interpretation of medieval books; formalism(s); aesthetics; and the idea of the literary. His first book, Fragments and Assemblages: Forming Compilations of Medieval London, has recently been published by University of Chicago Press. Using compilations from fourteenth-century London as case studies, Fragments and Assemblages argues that we can productively bring comparable interpretive strategies to bear on the formal characteristics of both physical manuscripts and literary works. By situating itself at the intersection of material history and aesthetic theory, this form of manuscript studies offers insights both on the literary culture of the past and on how the past continues to mean in the present.

No Child... written by Nilaja Sun
Performance by Bard College students in the Solo Performance course.
Thursday, April 24, 2014
4 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtPlease join us for a performative reading of selections from No Child..., a play written by Nilaja Sun and performed by students enrolled in Sun's Solo Performance course at Bard.
The performance is part of The Third Idiom, a thesis exhibition at The Center for Curatorial Studies curated by graduate student Lindsey Berfond.
No Child… considers the experience of an idealistic teaching artist as she leads a class of Bronx 10th graders to produce a theatrical performance. The critical play exposes the inner workings of an educational system in perpetual crisis — the play’s title refers to the controversial Bush administration policy No Child Left Behind Act — and traces the role of art and artists working in a struggling, “arts-deprived” urban public school.
The Third Idiom initiates an experimental dialogue between systems of formal schooling and education as a form or subject of art production. Positioning critical pedagogy as a theoretical starting point, the project opens up the space of the contemporary art institution as a flexible site for co-investigating the ideological models and circumstances of education. To examine the politics, conditions, and policies of alternative and mainstream educational systems, the project features gallery interventions by Camel Collective, the TEACHABLE FILE, and Wendy Tronrud. Installations in the galleries are further activated by a series of programs, which include performances, conversations, and collaborations with artists, theorists, local public school teachers and students.
FREE: Space is limited, please RSVP to Lindsey Berfond at Lberfond@gmail.com.

Mirrored-Environments: Yayoi Kusama in Context, 1965–1969
A Lecture by Midori Yamamura
Thursday, April 24, 2014
6 pm
Olin, Room 102Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is one of Japan's best-known artists. During her 2013 David Zwiner exhibition, enthusiastic viewers lined up for hours to experience her immersive mirror-lined environments. Of the postwar Japanese artists, Kusama has been a popular subject. However, due to her autobiographical narrative of mental illness, which she began dictating in 1975, and her voluntary residence in a mental health facility since 1977, her work has been predominantly interpreted as a symptomatic of her illness.
Instead of relying on her autobiography, this talk will give a fresh look at Kusama through an object-based historiography, examining the initial development of Kusama's mirrored-environments between 1965 and 1969, against the backdrop of her milieu that I carefully reconstruct from new archival research to discuss how she established her anti-conformist art against late capitalist society.

Workshop : Civil Society and New Patronage
Monday, April 28, 2014
11 am – 3 pm
Reem-Kayden Center, Room 103This workshop introduces The Nouveaux Commanditaires Program and its commitment to commissioning artworks and artistic research that respond directly to issues of public interest and are sited and contextualized within the terms of civil society. Since the early 1990s, the Fondation de France’s “New Patrons” project has invited citizens to propose and develop works with artists and mediators that negotiate and address a range of local concerns. Building ties between artists, commissioners, and communities in diverse international settings, this workshop will introduce the role of “médiateur” within The Nouveaux Commanditaires context and consider its significance to the larger curatorial and commissioning field via specific projects and artistic practices.
Focused on the aesthetic and ethical terrain explored by three specific artistic practices, the morning session will include dialogs with artists Sven Augustijnen and Camille Henrot, while the afternoon discussion looks closer at the unique opportunities and challenges afforded by new models and approaches to patronage. Engaging a dialog with Nouveaux Commanditaires representatives Xavier Douroux, Thérèse Legierse, and Jérôme Poggi, afternoon session will address how art can negotiate the shifting terms of civil society via new models of commissioning. This workshop is open to CCS Bard faculty and students, as well as the larger Bard College community and public.
Workshop led by CCS Bard faculty member Fionn Meade. CCS Bard graduate student Jocelyn Edens and community organizer Nancy Barton will participate as respondents in both the morning and afternoon sessions.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Alien Therapy: Nordic Larp in a Contemporary Art Context
Johanna Koljonen & Bjarke Pedersen
Monday, April 28, 2014
5 pm
Preston 110Nordic Larp is a progressive variant of live role-playing practice that originated in the Nordic countries but today influences game design and performance across the globe. Nordic larpers build detailed, alternative worlds and simulate fictional societies in a wide range of genres, often for multi-day spans of time, with a high level of narrative, aesthetic and political ambition. Nordic larps have authors, but they are a fundamentally co-creative art form, whose performance strategies and production methodologies are generating enormous interest within the contemporary art community.
Larp theorist and critic Johanna Koljonen will give an introduction to the form through brief case studies of larps set in New York in the early years of the AIDS crisis, on a spaceship in the Battlestar Galactica universe, and in Hamlet's Elsinore.
In the second part of the talk, game designer Bjarke Pedersen will speak of his ongoing collaboration with American artist Brody Condon, who has worked with Nordic Larp designers since 2008. He will show documentation and footage from works employing larp elements.

Print Industrialism, Cultural Authority, and the Making of the Modern Chinese Intellectual
- A Faculty Seminar Presented by Robert Culp
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
7 pm
Olin, Room 102The end of the civil service examination system in 1905 and the imperial order in 1911 generated a crisis for China’s Confucian literati. The close partnership, formed over centuries, between the imperial state and the literati was collapsing, even as China’s moral and cultural orders were challenged by the influx of new systems of knowledge from the West. This talk explores how China’s literate elite during the first half of the twentieth century found gainful employment in the rapidly expanding, industrialized publishing sector and used it to preserve their social status, transform Chinese culture, and re-establish their cultural authority and influence in a period of transition.
Three groups of literate elites dominated work in the editorial departments of the major Chinese presses (Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company, and World Books): late Qing literati during the 1900s and 1910s; the first generation of foreign-trained academics in the 1920s; and the first generations of Chinese college and high school graduates from the 1920s onward. Each group transformed the dynamics of cultural production in editorial departments, which by the 1930s operated on principles of division of labor and flow production that mirrored the industrial labor process more generally. Through creative engagement in the publishing process, these three kinds of editors and compilers were able to influence the trajectory of cultural change in early twentieth-century China while helping to define what it meant to be a Chinese intellectual. At the same time, all three groups had to adjust, in various ways, to the demands of market-oriented cultural production.
Please join us at 6:30pm for a reception prior to the event in the Olin Atrium.
