The title Marginalia, refers to something discreet and obscure. The work itself is a site-specific abstract collage made of printed and photocopied papers taken from various bulletin boards located on Bard’s campus. Through her work, Anna Ostoya raises important questions about who has access to information and for whom is it legible or useful. This abstract installation references the transparency of information within an institution of higher education. It points towards those people outside of the institution who may never enter it. In exploring these questions of access and privileging of information, the artist is both very generous and stringent with her means of presentation, providing subtle clues in minimal doses for those who can read between the lines.

Curated by CCS Bard graduate student, Michal Jachula.

The Bulletin Board
The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College is the third venue to host Matthew Higgs's (Curator and Director of White Columns) bulletin board project. CCS and Higgs collaborated to begin a bulletin board program at Bard in the fall of 2007 with the understanding that the graduate students at CCS would curate it. The bulletin board is an enclosed glass case divided into three panes by aluminum bars. As of January 26, it has migrated from outside of the CCS Library to its new location in the Bertelsmann Campus Center, adjacent to the billiard tables.
