Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Uman: In Between presents a solo exhibition exploring over two decades of creative practice by the painter Uman, marking the pathbreaking artist’s most comprehensive survey to date.

Online Event This fall, we're reading The Human Condition, one of Hannah Arendt's most influential works. First published in 1958, the book asks timeless questions about what it means to live, work, and act together in the modern world. Arendt explores how advances in technology and human knowledge can expand our power while also making it harder to understand—or control—the consequences of our actions. Those questions remain just as urgent today.
Free for HAC members and the Bard community, the Virtual Reading Group is a weekly masterclass with Arendt Center Founder Roger Berkowitz, who personally leads the sessions and engages with participants on Hannah Arendt's work.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space An NEA Jazz Master, 2025 and 2026 Mellon Foundation Jazz Legacy Fellow, Marilyn Crispell has forged a singular musical language shaped by deep lyricism, fearless improvisation, and a lifelong commitment to artistic exploration. Her work with Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Joe Lovano, Wadada Leo Smith, and many others has established her as one of the most influential pianists and composers in contemporary creative music. For more than four decades, Crispell has remained a pioneering force in avant-garde jazz, creating music that is both adventurous and deeply expressive.
Joining her is Bard's own Angelica Sanchez, an acclaimed composer, pianist, and educator whose music seamlessly integrates intricate compositional structures with the spontaneity of improvisation. A leading voice in modern creative music, Sanchez has collaborated with artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Motian, Nicole Mitchell, Joe Lovano, Tim Berne, and Billy Hart. Her recordings have received widespread critical acclaim, with Sparkle Beings named one of The New York Times' Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2022 and Nighttime Creatures selected among DownBeat's Best Recordings of 2023.
A centerpiece of this collaboration is their celebrated duo recording, How to Turn the Moon (Pyroclastic Records). Recognized in NPR's Critics Poll as one of the Top 50 Recordings of 2020, the album showcases an extraordinary musical dialogue between Crispell and Sanchez. Through expansive improvisations, subtle textures, and profound listening, the recording reveals the deep artistic connection shared by these two remarkable pianists.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Friday, September 11, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

CCS Bard, Collection Teaching Gallery The CCS Bard Method Camp symposium at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College was conceived as a space for reflection on method rather than outcome and is dedicated to examining the foundational practices that shape curatorial work and its adjacent fields. For this second annual symposium, CCS Bard Method Camp: Attention begins from the intuition that attention has become one of the defining questions of our time. We are constantly told that our attention is under threat, fragmented by technological platforms, information overload, and competing demands. Rather than focusing exclusively on the crisis of attention, we hope to explore attention as a method: how we learn to listen, to observe, to focus, to remain present, and to perceive what might otherwise go unnoticed. We are particularly interested in personal accounts of practice: reflections on habits, protocols, exercises, rituals, doubts, discoveries, and forms of discipline that shape how attention operates in our work. For more information such as speakers, bios, and schedule as it becomes available see here.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.
Gernsheim and Brahms were friendly contemporaries who championed each other’s music in performance. This concert celebrates some of their pivotal orchestral works: Gernsheim’s powerful tone poem Zu einem Drama and his dramatic third symphony, based on the legend of the Song of Miriam; alongside Brahms’s gigantic First Piano Concerto, written over a five-year period in the 1850s.
These concerts will also be livestreamed on TŌNtube.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Saturday, September 19, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Bard’s music scholars and historians explore the life, career, and cultural legacy of German composer, conductor, and pianist Friedrich Gernsheim, whose works were largely suppressed by the Nazi regime owing to his Jewish heritage. Panelists will include Gernsheim scholar Enrique Lombrozo, TŌN Music Director Leon Botstein, musicologist Peter Laki, and Amanda Ruppenthal Stein, musicologist at Carroll University and writer/editor for the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA.
The Gernsheim Festival is graciously underwritten by E&V ProArte.
The TŌN Chamber Players and TŌN pianist Francis Chung-Yang Huang perform two works that composer Friedrich Gernsheim premiered himself in the late 1800s. Piano Quartet No. 3 is an exhilaratingly lyrical work that was first heard in Bonn, Germany in 1883. The Second Piano Quintet was completed in 1896 and is at turns brooding, lyrical, and highly romantic.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Saturday, September 26, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Online Event This fall, we're reading The Human Condition, one of Hannah Arendt's most influential works. First published in 1958, the book asks timeless questions about what it means to live, work, and act together in the modern world. Arendt explores how advances in technology and human knowledge can expand our power while also making it harder to understand—or control—the consequences of our actions. Those questions remain just as urgent today.
Free for HAC members and the Bard community, the Virtual Reading Group is a weekly masterclass with Arendt Center Founder Roger Berkowitz, who personally leads the sessions and engages with participants on Hannah Arendt's work.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space An NEA Jazz Master, 2025 and 2026 Mellon Foundation Jazz Legacy Fellow, Marilyn Crispell has forged a singular musical language shaped by deep lyricism, fearless improvisation, and a lifelong commitment to artistic exploration. Her work with Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Joe Lovano, Wadada Leo Smith, and many others has established her as one of the most influential pianists and composers in contemporary creative music. For more than four decades, Crispell has remained a pioneering force in avant-garde jazz, creating music that is both adventurous and deeply expressive.
Joining her is Bard's own Angelica Sanchez, an acclaimed composer, pianist, and educator whose music seamlessly integrates intricate compositional structures with the spontaneity of improvisation. A leading voice in modern creative music, Sanchez has collaborated with artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Motian, Nicole Mitchell, Joe Lovano, Tim Berne, and Billy Hart. Her recordings have received widespread critical acclaim, with Sparkle Beings named one of The New York Times' Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2022 and Nighttime Creatures selected among DownBeat's Best Recordings of 2023.
A centerpiece of this collaboration is their celebrated duo recording, How to Turn the Moon (Pyroclastic Records). Recognized in NPR's Critics Poll as one of the Top 50 Recordings of 2020, the album showcases an extraordinary musical dialogue between Crispell and Sanchez. Through expansive improvisations, subtle textures, and profound listening, the recording reveals the deep artistic connection shared by these two remarkable pianists.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Thursday, September 17, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

CCS Bard, Collection Teaching Gallery The CCS Bard Method Camp symposium at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College was conceived as a space for reflection on method rather than outcome and is dedicated to examining the foundational practices that shape curatorial work and its adjacent fields. For this second annual symposium, CCS Bard Method Camp: Attention begins from the intuition that attention has become one of the defining questions of our time. We are constantly told that our attention is under threat, fragmented by technological platforms, information overload, and competing demands. Rather than focusing exclusively on the crisis of attention, we hope to explore attention as a method: how we learn to listen, to observe, to focus, to remain present, and to perceive what might otherwise go unnoticed. We are particularly interested in personal accounts of practice: reflections on habits, protocols, exercises, rituals, doubts, discoveries, and forms of discipline that shape how attention operates in our work. For more information such as speakers, bios, and schedule as it becomes available see here.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.
Gernsheim and Brahms were friendly contemporaries who championed each other’s music in performance. This concert celebrates some of their pivotal orchestral works: Gernsheim’s powerful tone poem Zu einem Drama and his dramatic third symphony, based on the legend of the Song of Miriam; alongside Brahms’s gigantic First Piano Concerto, written over a five-year period in the 1850s.
These concerts will also be livestreamed on TŌNtube.

Bard’s music scholars and historians explore the life, career, and cultural legacy of German composer, conductor, and pianist Friedrich Gernsheim, whose works were largely suppressed by the Nazi regime owing to his Jewish heritage. Panelists will include Gernsheim scholar Enrique Lombrozo, TŌN Music Director Leon Botstein, musicologist Peter Laki, and Amanda Ruppenthal Stein, musicologist at Carroll University and writer/editor for the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA.

The TŌN Chamber Players and TŌN pianist Francis Chung-Yang Huang perform two works that composer Friedrich Gernsheim premiered himself in the late 1800s. Piano Quartet No. 3 is an exhilaratingly lyrical work that was first heard in Bonn, Germany in 1883. The Second Piano Quintet was completed in 1896 and is at turns brooding, lyrical, and highly romantic.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Sunday, September 27, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career.

Come join us to take a closer look at the behind-the-scenes production of composer Huang Ruo and librettist David Henry Hwang’s chamber opera in one act, THE RIFT. Presented by the US-China Music Institute in partnership with the Central Conservatory of Music, China, this open dress rehearsal gives you a sneak peek into how this opera comes together on stage. See firsthand how the music detailing the story of Maya Lin’s design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is rehearsed, refined, and prepared for performance.
This rehearsal is a preview of the opening concert of the 9th annual China Now Music Festival: Chasing Dreams. In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s festival uses music to tell powerful stories about migration, artistic vision, resilience, and aspirations. The theme, Chasing Dreams, reminds us that the pursuit of dreams is a shared human experience that connects us all.
