Thursday, December 11, 2014 Koliada and Music from the Carpathians
Bard Hall The Yara Arts Group, a resident theater company of La MaMa, presents “Koliada and Music from the Carpathians.” The Koliadnyky are a group of five men from the Carpathian Mountains in western Ukraine who sing traditional winter songs from the village of Kryvorivnia. The event will also feature the brilliant “troista” instrumental music from the Carpathians. The Koliada is a winter ritual that now coincides with Christmas, but long pre-dates it in some parts of Eastern Europe. High in the Carpathian Mountains, Koliada is considered to be the most important event of the year. Groups of male singers visit each family and sing ancient songs that are believed to hold special powers. According to tradition spring and the harvest will not come unless the songs are sung in every household. |

Video Art pioneer Charles Atlas will present an overview of his diverse practicesJim Ottaway Jr. Film Center The Film & Electronic Arts Program and the Theater & Performance Program present: CHARLES ATLAS Visiting Artist Lecture Thursday, October 23, 2014 at 5:00 pm The Theater at the Jim Ottoway Jr. Film Center In his first ever visit to Bard College, video art pioneer Charles Atlas will present an overview of his diverse practice, with a focus on his recent site-specific video installations and multi-media performance works. For over four decades, Mr. Atlas has extended the limits of film and video, forging new territory in a far-reaching range of genres, stylistic approaches, and techniques. Over the years he has made media/dance works, multi-channel video installations, feature-length documentaries, video art works for television, and live electronic performances. Throughout his career, he has consistently fostered collaborative relationships, working intimately with such artists and performers as Leigh Bowery, Michael Clark, Douglas Dunn, Marina Abramovic, Yvonne Rainer, Mika Tajima/New Humans, Antony & The Johnsons, and most notably Merce Cunningham, for whom he served as filmmaker-in-residence for a decade from the early 1970s through 1983. His recent projects include solo shows: Glacier (January 2013) at the Bloomberg Space, London, The Illusion of Democracy at Luhring Augustine Bushwick (February 2012) and Discount Body Parts at De Hallen Museum in Holland (March 2012) ; live performance/installations: The Pedestrians, in collaboration with Mika Tajima/New Humans at The South London Gallery (April 2011), In Residence at the 2012 Whitney Biennial, and Charles Atlas and Collaborators at the Tate Modern (March 2013); and Ocean, a film of Merce Cunningham’s epic dance, which premiered at the Walker Art Center (September 2010). His most recent film TURNING, a documentary feature made in collaboration with Antony and the Johnsons is currently touring in festivals worldwide and will be released digitally and on DVD in the coming months. Atlas has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, three “Bessie” (New York Dance and Performance) Awards, and was the 2006 recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Artʼs biennial John Cage Award. |

Monday, April 28, 2014 Alien Therapy: Nordic Larp in a Contemporary Art Context
Johanna Koljonen & Bjarke PedersenPreston 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. |

Thursday, April 24, 2014 No Child... written by Nilaja Sun
Performance by Bard College students in the Solo Performance course.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 [email protected]. |
