Professor Arthur Gibbons’s spring sculpture class presents their work in an exhibition titled Steel and Scale Remarks. The work is on view on the grounds of Montgomery Place through July 28. The inspiration for these steel sculptures came from a study of Montgomery Place’s collection of 19th-century outdoor furniture and sculpture. The Montgomery Place collection of outdoor furniture and sculpture will be on display concurrently with the student exhibition.Sponsored by: Studio Arts Program.
For more information, call 845-758-7505, or visit https://www.bard.edu/montgomeryplace.
The gardens at Montgomery Place once featured decorative garden ornaments and furniture, displaying a wide mix of styles, alongside the plants. Examples of statuary, furniture, potted plants, and hanging baskets that have been documented in early photographs of Montgomery Place will be presented in the exhibition.
Exhibition produced in partnership with and curated by Barbara Israel and her staff from Barbara Israel Garden Antiques. Funding provided by the A. C. Israel Foundation and Plymouth Hill Foundation.

Olin Hall
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists, and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
The presentation is free and open to the public. However, we ask that attendees from outside the Bard community reserve a seat by emailing Hal Haggard (hhaggard@bard.edu). Doors open at 6:30 p.m.Sponsored by: Physics Program.
For more information, call 845-758-7302, or e-mail hhaggard@bard.edu.

Hessel Museum of Art
Exile Is a Hard Job is the first solo U.S. museum exhibition of work by Nil Yalter (b. 1938), who has been a pioneer of socially engaged art since the 1970s. She was one of the first artists in France to use video, when it first emerged as a new artistic medium. Born in Cairo, the artist grew up in Istanbul and has been living in Paris since 1965. Exile Is a Hard Job presents the diversity of her work, from previously little-known paintings to her early videos and multimedia installations, in which she combines photography, video, drawings, and sculpture into collages. Exile Is a Hard Job originated at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne as Yalter’s first major retrospective, opening March 8, 2019. The exhibition at the Hessel Museum of Art focuses on her prolific period from the late ’60s to the early ’80s, and includes more than 20 of her most significant projects from this time.
Guided tours of the exhibition are available on July 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 4:00 pm, no reservation required.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

CCS Bard Galleries
Acting Out: Works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection takes its prompt from Leigh Ledare’s The Task, a single-channel film of a three-day Group Relations Conference—a social psychology method developed by London’s Tavistock Institute—that the artist organized in Chicago in 2017. In addition to directing the film crew, Ledare assembled the 28 participants and secured the collaboration of 10 psychologists trained in the method. During a sequence of small and large group meetings, the group studies its own self-made social structure—an abstract “task” that allows participants to examine the identities, roles, desires, and biases individuals import into the group, as well as conscious and unconscious group dynamics. Building upon this gripping portrait of current social dynamics and discontents, the exhibition includes works by artists in the Marieluise Hessel Collection at CCS Bard, including Larry Clark, Lyle Ashton Harris, Nan Goldin, Boris Mikhailov, Lorraine O'Grady, Cindy Sherman, and Jo Spence, historical works that reverberate with themes raised by Ledare’s film and its participants. The exhibition also includes a selection of journals, diaries, and planners that the artist Lyle Ashton Harris kept between the mid 1980s until the early 2000s, displayed publicly for the first time.
Guided tours of the exhibition are available on July 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 4:00 pm, no reservation required.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Fisher Center, Spiegeltent
The Red Hook Education Foundation (RHEF) presents millennial jazz prodigy Grace Kelly. Featured by Vanity Fair as a millennial shaking up the jazz world, Kelly’s state-of-the-art brand of jazz-pop is pushing her to the forefront of the fusion scene. Proceeds from the dinner and dance party benefit RHEF, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting innovative programs and initiatives on behalf of the students of the Red Hook School District. Tickets are $75 for dinner and dancing; $250 sponsorships, including a pair of tickets, are also available.
Grace Kelly’s early career featured performances at Barack Obama’s 2016 inauguration and as a soloist with the Boston Pops playing an original composition arranged for the legendary orchestra; she has since then played over 900 shows as bandleader in 35 countries at venues like the Kennedy Center and the Hollywood Bowl and for the Montreal, Newport, and Montreux international jazz festivals. “Grace Kelly has an electric charisma on-stage that instantly ignites the room,” says Jon Batiste, bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kelly has won numerous ASCAP and other songwriting awards, including a Grand Prize nod in the 2018 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the song ‘Feels Like Home.’
The Red Hook Education Foundation (RHEF) is a 501c3, volunteer-led organization founded in 2010. Thanks to the generosity of donors RHEF has funded programs that have enriched the lives of every student in the Red Hook School District.Sponsored by: Fisher Center.

Hessel Museum of Art
Exile Is a Hard Job is the first solo U.S. museum exhibition of work by Nil Yalter (b. 1938), who has been a pioneer of socially engaged art since the 1970s. She was one of the first artists in France to use video, when it first emerged as a new artistic medium. Born in Cairo, the artist grew up in Istanbul and has been living in Paris since 1965. Exile Is a Hard Job presents the diversity of her work, from previously little-known paintings to her early videos and multimedia installations, in which she combines photography, video, drawings, and sculpture into collages. Exile Is a Hard Job originated at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne as Yalter’s first major retrospective, opening March 8, 2019. The exhibition at the Hessel Museum of Art focuses on her prolific period from the late ’60s to the early ’80s, and includes more than 20 of her most significant projects from this time.
Guided tours of the exhibition are available on July 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 4:00 pm, no reservation required.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

CCS Bard Galleries
Acting Out: Works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection takes its prompt from Leigh Ledare’s The Task, a single-channel film of a three-day Group Relations Conference—a social psychology method developed by London’s Tavistock Institute—that the artist organized in Chicago in 2017. In addition to directing the film crew, Ledare assembled the 28 participants and secured the collaboration of 10 psychologists trained in the method. During a sequence of small and large group meetings, the group studies its own self-made social structure—an abstract “task” that allows participants to examine the identities, roles, desires, and biases individuals import into the group, as well as conscious and unconscious group dynamics. Building upon this gripping portrait of current social dynamics and discontents, the exhibition includes works by artists in the Marieluise Hessel Collection at CCS Bard, including Larry Clark, Lyle Ashton Harris, Nan Goldin, Boris Mikhailov, Lorraine O'Grady, Cindy Sherman, and Jo Spence, historical works that reverberate with themes raised by Ledare’s film and its participants. The exhibition also includes a selection of journals, diaries, and planners that the artist Lyle Ashton Harris kept between the mid 1980s until the early 2000s, displayed publicly for the first time.

5:30 pm Cocktail Reception
6:30 pm Program and Performance
Join us at Wethersfield to kick-off another summer of outstanding performances in music, dance, opera, and theater at Bard, with its inspiration coming from the work of Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold. A child prodigy whose compositional achievements were compared to that of Mendelssohn and Mozart, Korngold went on to become the last great exponent of the musical vocabulary of late Romanticism and the founding father of movie music as we know it.
For additional information, please call Linda Baldwin at 845-758-7414 or e-mail lbaldwin@bard.edu.

What Is Time?
Carlo Rovelli, Centre de Physique Théorique de Aix-Marseille Université et Université de Toulon
Thursday, June 13, 2019
7–9 pm
Olin HallTime is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists, and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
The presentation is free and open to the public. However, we ask that attendees from outside the Bard community reserve a seat by emailing Hal Haggard (hhaggard@bard.edu). Doors open at 6:30 p.m.Sponsored by: Physics Program.
For more information, call 845-758-7302, or e-mail hhaggard@bard.edu.

CCS Exhibition: Acting Out: Works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection
Sunday, June 23, 2019
12–6 pm
CCS Bard GalleriesActing Out: Works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection takes its prompt from Leigh Ledare’s The Task, a single-channel film of a three-day Group Relations Conference—a social psychology method developed by London’s Tavistock Institute—that the artist organized in Chicago in 2017. In addition to directing the film crew, Ledare assembled the 28 participants and secured the collaboration of 10 psychologists trained in the method. During a sequence of small and large group meetings, the group studies its own self-made social structure—an abstract “task” that allows participants to examine the identities, roles, desires, and biases individuals import into the group, as well as conscious and unconscious group dynamics. Building upon this gripping portrait of current social dynamics and discontents, the exhibition includes works by artists in the Marieluise Hessel Collection at CCS Bard, including Larry Clark, Lyle Ashton Harris, Nan Goldin, Boris Mikhailov, Lorraine O'Grady, Cindy Sherman, and Jo Spence, historical works that reverberate with themes raised by Ledare’s film and its participants. The exhibition also includes a selection of journals, diaries, and planners that the artist Lyle Ashton Harris kept between the mid 1980s until the early 2000s, displayed publicly for the first time.

Red Hook Education Foundation 9th Annual Gala
Friday, June 28, 2019
6:30 pm
Fisher Center, SpiegeltentThe Red Hook Education Foundation (RHEF) presents millennial jazz prodigy Grace Kelly. Featured by Vanity Fair as a millennial shaking up the jazz world, Kelly’s state-of-the-art brand of jazz-pop is pushing her to the forefront of the fusion scene. Proceeds from the dinner and dance party benefit RHEF, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting innovative programs and initiatives on behalf of the students of the Red Hook School District. Tickets are $75 for dinner and dancing; $250 sponsorships, including a pair of tickets, are also available.
Grace Kelly’s early career featured performances at Barack Obama’s 2016 inauguration and as a soloist with the Boston Pops playing an original composition arranged for the legendary orchestra; she has since then played over 900 shows as bandleader in 35 countries at venues like the Kennedy Center and the Hollywood Bowl and for the Montreal, Newport, and Montreux international jazz festivals. “Grace Kelly has an electric charisma on-stage that instantly ignites the room,” says Jon Batiste, bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kelly has won numerous ASCAP and other songwriting awards, including a Grand Prize nod in the 2018 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the song ‘Feels Like Home.’
The Red Hook Education Foundation (RHEF) is a 501c3, volunteer-led organization founded in 2010. Thanks to the generosity of donors RHEF has funded programs that have enriched the lives of every student in the Red Hook School District.Sponsored by: Fisher Center.
