The Greenroom: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art
Saturday, September 27, 2008 - Sunday, February 1, 2009
The Greenroom: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art is the inaugural event of a long-term research project on ”the documentary”. The research project aims at investigating the heritage of documentary practices in contemporary art, in relation to the history of film, documentary photography and television as well as to video art. It also aims at situating these contemporary documentary practices within current cultural production and exploring their role within mainstream media and activism. The research project is a collaboration between CCS Bard and the artist and theoretician Hito Steyerl. The research project will run for approximately three years, having started in March 2008. The Greenroom: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art is on view from September 27, 2008 through February 1, 2009. Download exhibition guide [pdf] [more]

| Bernd Krauss: I am Yours
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 - Friday, December 19, 2008
I am Yours is a new project by Bernd Krauss, the fall 2008 artist-in-residence at the Center for Curatorial Studies. The centerpiece of the project is a quaint wooden shed situated on the grounds of the Center on the Bard College campus. Built by the Amish and purchased locally in nearby Germantown, this type of shed is conventionally used to store gardening tools. In the context of Krauss' residency, however, the shed will be transformed into a studio, a curatorial space, and has the potential to gain other new and unexpected functions. [more]

| Today we can talk but we can’t talk today
Saturday, October 25, 2008 - Sunday, November 30, 2008
What is the role of process in the work of both artists and curators? What does it mean for a curator to confuse or even swap roles with the artist, for example reproducing the artist's work herself? First-year graduate students at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (CCS Bard) work with Bernd Krauss, artist-in-residence at the Center this fall, to create a process-oriented and heterogeneous exhibition at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild employing a wide range of media and extending beyond the physical space of the gallery.

| Curatorial Scrutiny: "Ownership" with Marysia Lewandowska
Tuesday, December 2, 2008
CURATORIAL SCRUTINY takes a close look at the working process of a curator, identifying different components of the curatorial process. Who owns the rights to artistic work in today's information-based economy? How can a curator position oneself vis-à-vis ownership and the distribution of material and non-material products? In what ways can you relate to licensing and copyright issues? London-based artist Marysia Lewandowska will discuss these issues. View Full Schedule [more]
