Bardian - Winter 2020

Bardian BARD COLLEGE FALL 2020

Dear Bard Alumni/ae, Family, and Friends: While no one could have expected the Class of 2020 to complete their final courses and turn in their Senior Projects under the circumstances they did, I think we can all agree it was a memorable semester! May brought us continuing pandemic quarantine and societal upheaval, and Bardians heeded the call by helping those in need, showing up for protests, and making demands for social justice, inclusion, and diversity loud and clear. Though the final “Hurrah!” of Commencement was first delayed and then transformed into a live virtual event, hearing Chair of the Board of Trustees James Cox Chambers ’81 charge the class with a rousing call to action and the amazing David Byrne give such a great salute to our new graduates sealed for me the bond between our newest alumni/ae and all of us who’ve come before.

First Year students arrived on campus in August for the Language and Thinking Program, and the reopening KC Serota ’04 of the college necessitated measures for social distancing and other safety procedures. Students have been making photo Karl Rabe masks, food is being delivered, and classes are taking place in unique ways (pull up a tent).

In this issue, you’ll read about the Open Society University Network (OSUN), an innovative initiative that will create international opportunities for liberal arts education in underserved communities. Bard has an important role in the network, and OSUN will provide incredible resources and opportunities for the community. You will also read about some great milestones: Bard’s MFA Program turns 40 and the Center for Curatorial Studies is 30. And there are tributes to Stuart Stritzler-Levine and Luis García Renart, both of whom were important members of the College who passed away this year.

As this unforgettable year comes to a close, myriad social, political, and scientific concerns remain with us. As does our “place to think.” We need to keep the spirit of critical analysis alive in everything we do. Bard occupies an essential place in the world, working as it does toward solutions to imbalances in access to higher education. President Botstein’s message to the community from May 31 outlined the failures of our society and the need for education and opportunity to help combat systemic racism. We must take on this charge and use the powers of reason, speech, activism, and energy that our Bard education has given us. Heed the challenge to speak up against injustice and work for the betterment of society.

In solidarity, healthy and action!

bard responds to a global pandemic

by James Rodewald ’82

2 dabo tibi coronavirus vitae

Bard was able to welcome first-year students in early August and returning students and new transfers two weeks later thanks to the coordinated efforts of state and local authorities, public health officials, and the College’s partners at Nuvance Health (the health care system that includes Northern Dutchess and Vassar Brothers Hospitals). Though it also took a tremendous amount of work by faculty and staff, it was the students’ commitment to understanding, following, and adjusting to the complex and ever-evolving protocols that made reopening possible. By taking responsibility not only for themselves but for the health and safety of neighbors, friends, and strangers, they truly embody the best of what Bard is about.

Maggie Hazen, Bard Studio Arts visiting artist in residence (left), and Lauren Enright, founder and CEO of Axiom Climate, display the face shields they produced with 3D printers for frontline workers.

Instruction is in full swing, with a more spread out class schedule to decrease density in all areas, from classrooms to hallways to Kline Commons to the many tents that have been erected to allow for outdoor instruction (weather permitting). The option to learn, and to teach, remotely was made available; out of nearly 1,700 undergraduates, 228 are studying remotely (87 of those are international students), and more than 80 percent of classes are meeting in person.

The COVID-19 crisis mainly presents daunting challenges, but there are also opportunities to reimagine and reform existing systems.

This fall, a new suite of multidisciplinary Common Courses created specifically for incoming first-year students was offered: Epidemics, Society, and Culture covers the history, science, and art of protecting the health of populations and the social, political, philosophical, and cultural implications of public health catastrophes. The Making of Citizens: Local, National, Global interrogates and analyzes the concept of citizenship and seeks to encourage students to think about how citizenship emerges, exists, and differs at the local, national, and global levels, and what forms of participation are necessary to sustain meaningful citizenship for themselves and others. Resilience, Survival, and Extinction introduces students to methods of biological analysis and cultural interpretation that explore the many ways we understand resilience, survival, and extinction. The course addresses the idea of evolution and the nature of change in human and natural history, including widespread biodiversity loss, from the perspective of the sciences and the humanities. Designing for Immediate Futures invites students to approach design as a tool for reflecting on the existing worlds in which we find ourselves and as a means to rethink them and invent new ones. And Alternate Worlds asks to what extent our experience of the “real world” (including real crises, like the current coronavirus epidemic) is mediated by imagined ones, by considering counterfactual histories, fantastical literary works, and utopias or dystopias.

Bard is a place to think, but it’s also a place to speak, a place to listen, and a place to act. Americans of color are suffering disproportionately in this health crisis and the national failure to combat it; the tragic consequences of our unacceptable long-term tolerance of economic and social inequality are starkly obvious. The painful events of this summer inspired Black students, alumni/ae, faculty, and staff to share their experiences of racism and violence and call for a more just, equitable, and inclusive campus community. Drew Thompson, associate professor of Africana and historical studies, curated a series of video conversations called “Reflecting on the Moment” that drew on the rich personal experiences and expertise of the Bard community to present approaches for community activism and engagement in the name of racial equity and justice. Lyford Paterson Edwards and Helen Gray Edwards Professor of Historical Studies Myra Young Armstead invited community members to speak to “systemic racism nationally and globally through the In the Moment essay collection, which documents a critical inflection point in national and local history.” And the Presidential Commission on Racial Equity and Justice was established, chaired by Dean of Inclusive Excellence Kahan Sablo,

with Armstead and Dinaw Mengestu, professor of written arts and director of the Written Arts Program, as vice-chairs. As President Botstein wrote when he shared news of the commission’s founding, “Every institution in American civil society, particularly colleges and universities, must play a part in creating fundamental change. To that end, each institution should assess its past, analyze its present practices, and produce a plan for the future.”

Throughout the Bard community, those who’ve been able to come back to campus see the preciousness of the in-person Bard experience in a more vivid light than ever. It’s an experience worth defending and supporting, and the work continues. Having successfully navigated the campus reopening, which required students to test negative for COVID-19 within five days before arriving on campus and to take a second test five to 10 days after arrival, measures were instituted to maintain a healthy and safe environment in Annandale.

In consultation with Nuvance, the College developed a detailed plan for surveillance testing in which a significant random sample of the Bard community is tested on a weekly basis to monitor any potential spread of the virus. If a positive case is identified, additional “surge testing” will be implemented, along with a contact tracing program that will test all close contacts and isolate them while awaiting their test results. This comprehensive testing strategy aims to maintain a clear and accurate assessment of the health of the Bard community and to facilitate immediate response to any positive case. (You can search daily test results for schools in New York State, including Bard, at schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov.)

Getting to the start line at all was a challenge. That journey began back in March, when it became clear that shutting down was the only option. Information was scarce, so on March 16, the first day most staff began to work from home in response to the spread of the virus, Dean of the College Deirdre d’Albertis launched “Ask an Expert” on Google Classroom. Tapping into the wide range of knowledge and expertise in the Bard community, the online forum addressed issues raised by COVID-19. Felicia Keesing, David and Rosalie Rose Distinguished Professor of Science, Mathematics, and Computing and a biologist who studies the transmission of infectious diseases, contributed the first entry, a clear and concise explanation of what needed to be done and why. That was followed the next day by Visiting Professor of Global Public Health and Human Rights Helen Epstein’s somewhat chilling assessment of the measures that had been taken to that point and what steps would be necessary to manage the pandemic. Over the subsequent weeks, contributions included reflections on the influenza pandemic of 1918 from Professor Armstead, who examined the “View from North America”; Francis Flournoy Professor of European History and Culture Sean McMeekin on that flu’s spread to Europe and beyond; and a look at what happened in Annandale during that time from Bard College Archivist Helene Tieger ’85. Armstead later tackled the racial dimensions of the pandemic; Associate Professor of Economics Pavlina Tcherneva made the case for a federal jobs guarantee; a number of papers on the economic effects of COVID-19 from Levy Institute scholars were posted;

there was a mask-making primer from Executive Assistant to the President Saidee Brown; Associate Professor of Photography Tim Davis ’91 explored how “this crisis has made all of [us] think like photographers”; and Professor of Biology Michael Tibbetts shared news of an intriguing possible therapeutic treatment derived from llamas (say “llama nanobodies” three times fast).

Faculty and staff were deeply engaged in volunteer efforts as well. Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco and Ross Exo Adams of the Bard Architecture Program; Maggie Hazen and Melinda Solis from Studio Arts; Information Technology Services’ Doug O’Connor, Hayden Sartoris, and Christopher Ahmed; and the Philosophy Program’s Katie Tabb produced face shields for frontline health-care workers (two 3D printers were loaned by Bard physicist Paul CaddenZimansky; Hazen and Solis used 3D printers purchased with proceeds from a GoFundMe campaign established by MFA alumna Luba Drozd ’15 that raised more than $20,000). Fisher Center Costume Shop Supervisor Moe Schell and others from her team, Audrey Smith from Buildings and Grounds, Rosalia Reifler from Environmental Services, and Brown sewed 200 facemasks for essential College employees on campus.

Students who remained on campus faced different challenges than those who had returned home. The Alumni/ae Association Board of Governors heard the call when Justyn Diaz ’20 informed them that those sheltering in Annandale were experiencing a snack shortage. Board members Michelle Dunn Marsh ’95, Claire Phelan ’11, and Genya Shimkin ’08 led the charge, raising money and awareness to address the deficit. Bjorn Quenemon ’03 and Jamie O’Shea ’03, whose BjornQorn has appeared on Saturday Night Live and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and received raves from Modern Farmer, GQ, Bon Appetit, and many others, sent popcorn. Lisa Newmann ’75 donated boxes of her delicious and stimulating JavaUp snacks, which are made with coffee beans sourced by No. Six Depot, a roaster in the Berkshires. The caffeine may have contributed to the impressive level of student engagement in evidence these past months. Syl Shread ’22, Finn Tait ’22, and Jackie Lerman ’22 formed the Student Response Team, which coordinates food and medicine deliveries to students who need them. Caroline He ’23 was head organizer of a Coronavirus Relief Benefit Concert, which took place in Olin Hall on February 22 and raised more than $16,000 for medical supplies for a hospital in China’s Hubei Province. Volunteers of CultureConnect, a Trustee Leaders Scholar project that sends students to tutor newly immigrated families in Red Hook and Rhinebeck elementary schools, moved—along with everyone else—to technology.

However, since many of their charges don’t have computers, they met with their 17 students at least once a week over the phone to do activities. Isabel Ballard ’21, Grace Carter ’21, and Jamie Hoelzel ’21 established a “food support closet” as an initiative of the Wellness Club. Post-outbreak, they shifted to an order-and-deliver system in which students fill out a Google form and the Student Response Team picks up the order and delivers it to the student’s door. About 60 packages—food, soap, shampoo, and other necessities—were being

delivered a week. As part of an Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences course, Keyvious Avery ’21 and Aidan Galloway ’21 created Thrive On! Kingston, which distributes resource kits containing masks, wipes, and personal protective equipment as well as soap, shaving kits, body wash, shampoo, reusable bags, water bottles, notebooks, pens, and blankets to high-volume homeless shelters in Kingston and to the community organization Beyond The 4 Walls Outreach Program. Bard students also volunteered with Red Hook Responds, which Dan Budd of Taste Budd’s Café organized, with the support of the town and village of Red Hook. The helpline for residents in need of grocery and prescription delivery quickly turned its attention to meal delivery. Several Bard students, including Emma Bernstein ’20 and Bree Bogle ’22, worked remotely as operators and shift leaders.

Recognizing that this is going to be a challenging job market to break into, alumni/ae generously shared their professional expertise and offered mentorship to students, particularly the class of 2020, in a series of Career Development Office online panels with Bardians working in freelance journalism and media; finance, economics, and business; tech, creative digital, and data; and the sciences.

Volunteer efforts also addressed the needs of the spirit and soul.

Bard College Conservatory faculty violist Molly Carr and her nonprofit, Project: Music Heals Us, put on concerts over the phone from around the country to COVID-19 patients in New York City hospitals. The Fisher Center graciously began presenting free online programming through its Upstreaming initiative, including live events such as the Bard College Theater and Performance Program production of Caryl Churchill’s Mad Forest, Neil Gaiman’s conversation with Hugo Award–winning author N. K. Jemisin, and Out of the Silence, the four-weekend Bard Music Festival (BMF), which celebrated Black composers alongside several previous BMF subjects. Upstreaming also made available curated archival events like Pam Tanowitz Dance company in a triple bill, including a SummerScape-commissioned solo for American Ballet Theater Principal Ashley Tuttle that was set to music by Carlos Chávez; Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s The Miracle Of Heliane; highlights from Live Arts Bard Biennials; two productions from director Daniel Fish: Acquanetta (his first show at Bard since SummerScape 2015, when he debuted his production of Oklahoma!, which went on to Broadway and subsequently won the 2019 Tony) and ETERNAL, an Upstreaming commission that reimagines a 2013 piece of his for a virtual context.

Faculty and students have been forced to make radical adjustments; college admission offices have been no less stressed. Deadlines have been moved, events cancelled, and most of the usual ways of building a class had to be put aside, adjusted, or rethought entirely.

Some of the creative measures taken by Bard Admission include a remarkably wide-ranging and engaging Virtual Open House for accepted students (videos from that event, including conversations between President Botstein and various faculty members, can be found at bard.edu/admission, along with a series of Alumni/ae Voices videos); establishment of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Advanced Achievement Scholars program, in which high-achieving

high school juniors who live within a 120-mile radius of Bard were able to apply through the newly created Entrance Exam for Early Admission; the Bard Baccalaureate, a new program for adults who want to begin or return to college; the Crisis Response Scholarship for year-two Bard High School Early College students; and more than 50 themed webinars, most of which have been recorded and can be used by families to get a sense of what Bard is all about.

The show must go on. This year’s Undergraduate Awards Ceremony was, of course, virtual. It was also far better than TV. Dean of the College Deirdre d’Albertis and Dean of Studies David Schein presented the awards and announced the winners, but President Botstein provided the entertainment. Many of the named prizes were established in honor of figures from Bard’s history, often by their families, and the brief stories Botstein told about some of the College’s great characters—like Mary McCarthy, Muriel DeGré, and Charlie Patrick—were fascinating and funny, and a very welcome relief from pandemic infographics. This year’s graduating Film and Electronic Arts Program students gathered online for their “party, ceremonial toast, and primal scream to celebrate the submission of Senior Projects” on Zoom. They had a surprise visitor in the virtual form of film editor Jinmo Yang ’03, whose most recent project was the multiple Academy Award-winning Parasite. Director of Alumni/ae Affairs Jane Brien ’89 hosted a series of Zoom Q&As with Botstein. (Archived videos can be found on the Bard College Alumni/ae Association YouTube page.) Athletic Director Kristen Hall and Sports Information director James Sheahan, along with coaches and several scholar athletes, put together a stirring virtual awards ceremony. It was assuredly bittersweet for the seniors; while welldeserved recognition for their achievements was welcome, it was yet another reminder that, for most of them, their days of intercollegiate competitive sports were over, prematurely taken away along with so much else.

Bard Music Connects highlights the work of a wide array of Bard musicians, including students, faculty, and alumni/ae of the Conservatory, the Music Program, and The Orchestra Now. Its YouTube channel highlights all types of music and draws on the remarkable breadth of Bard’s musical talents and activities. Since early April, more than 40 videos have been posted. There are bassoon, clarinet, harp, horn, oboe, trombone, trumpet, tuba, and viola tutorials; Maestro Leon Botstein discussing Mahler; a whistling compilation from Bard College Community Orchestra member Alex Luscher ’22; Yixin Wang ’23 of the Bard US-China Music Institute performing Eternal Sorrow of Lin’an on guzheng; a lovely rendition of Sous le ciel de Paris performed by soprano Addie Rose Forstman VAP ’19 with Edward Forstman on piano; Yue Sun BMus ’12 (listed on the credits as vocal 1, vocal 2, vocal chamber ensemble (10+), violin, percussion, video and audio editing) performing her first composition, “Again, We Hug”; and to get you dancing around your living room (or home office), Hailey McAvoy VAP ’20 performing the classic Ice, Ice Baby. McAvoy said what we’d all been thinking while in lockdown: “Yo man, let’s get out of here.”

Stuart Stritzler-Levine, 87, professor emeritus of psychology and dean emeritus, died May 1. Stritzler-Levine, who joined the Bard faculty in 1964 and devoted 56 years of continuous service to the College, received his BA from New York University, MA from New School University, and PhD from SUNY Albany. Before coming to Bard he was a clinical research psychologist at Philadelphia State Hospital, where he worked in a National Institute of Mental Health project designed to rehabilitate patients with chronic mental illness. He also served as a clinical psychologist at Bordentown Reformatory in New Jersey. His teaching and research interests at Bard included social psychology, specifically obedience to authority, conformity, attitude measurement, and change; moral development; and experimental design. He was fascinated by the social psychologist Stanley Milgram, on whose work and legacy he was teaching a seminar last semester.

“No one has worked as tirelessly and generously for Bard as Stuart did,” writes President Leon Botstein. “He loved the College, its mission, its people, its history, and its landscape. He was fastidious and disciplined, yet he made the time not only to work unstintingly but also to sit and talk with everyone, anytime.”

Stritzler-Levine was dean of the College from 1980 to 2001. In those 21 years he oversaw innovations in the admission process, particularly the Immediate Decision Plan; the rapid growth of Bard’s enrollment and curriculum; and the College’s expansion into graduate education. He served as Dean of Studies at Bard High School Early College Manhattan from 2003 to 2009, then returned to teaching at Bard and at Simon’s Rock. Botstein writes, “He died in active service, not retired, as was his dream.”

Even while fully occupied by his duties at the College, StritzlerLevine worked to extend liberal arts and sciences education to underserved communities. In 1999, he proposed a “bridge course” to expand the original Clemente Course, which was entering its fifth year of offering rigorous, university-level humanities instruction to low-income students. His recognition that some who had completed the course but not been able to go on to college would benefit from additional study led him to offer to design and teach this bridge course once a week. He did so without pay. His devotion to learning and to Bard students had no limits. He was legendary as a Senior Project adviser. Tom Maiello ’82, a former advisee, shares that Stritzler-Levine, knowing Maiello could not afford to continue his education after Bard, paid for his first post-graduate program.

Maiello retired in 2013 after nearly 33 years as a director of admissions, Holocaust educator, adjunct professor of philosophy, and dean of admissions. Last year he went back to work. “I am in social services as part of a skilled health care team,” writes Maiello. “I dedicate it all to him and his being there at the right time.”

Kenneth Stern ’75, director of Bard’s Center for Hate Studies, has had a long relationship with Stritzler-Levine, starting as a student and more recently as a colleague. “Stuart and I spoke frequently over the years, often about hate, especially given his expertise about Stanley Milgram,” writes Stern. “Stuart was always fascinated with the world

around him, and how to think about it. He was an eager supporter of the Center for Hate Studies (he and I had brainstormed about this idea for years) and a regular participant in the faculty reading group on hate.” Stern also shared a passion for fishing, and the two traded strategies, fish tales, and lures, beginning in Stern’s undergraduate days. “I moderated in the early ’70s,” recalls Stern. “My board insisted that I take a statistics class, which I did, with Stuart. It was not my favorite subject, but I loved the data set—Stuart’s summer catch of lake trout, which made me jealous of the quantity, length, width, weight, and every other measure of Stuart’s success.”

Stritzler-Levine’s other passions included operas by Richard Wagner, the photography of Berenice Abbott, and sports, particularly basketball. In the mid 1970s, Charlie Patrick, Bard’s athletic director, asked if he would coach the varsity basketball team. Stritzler-Levine accepted and went about putting together a team. Before long, spurred on by “bus loads” of students, as Stritzler-Levine recalled at the 2014 Athletics Awards Banquet, who drove up to Columbia Greene Community College to cheer for Bard against Albany College of Pharmacy, the 1976–77 team came within seconds of a conference title game. “It was a splendid group of guys,” Stritzler-Levine said in 2014. “For a couple of years, or even three, we took ourselves seriously and practiced and learned and had a dress code and all that good stuff that being a team could be. The truth is I loved my squad.” For 56 years and counting, the Bard community has felt the same way about him.

Stuart Stritzler-Levine is survived by his wife, Nina StritzlerLevine, professor of curatorial practice and director of Focus Projects exhibitions at the Bard Graduate Center; and two daughters, Ali SR ’15, and Jennifer. A third daughter, Jessica ’84, died in 2010.

The first thing I went to see at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) after its recent renovation was The Shape of Shape, the 14th edition of MoMA’s long-running Artist’s Choice series, in which a contemporary artist is asked to curate a show from the museum’s permanent collection. Turning the corner into Room 516, I felt as if I’d stumbled upon an orchestra playing the last movement of Beethoven’s Ninth.

Amy Sillman MFA ’95, the New York City painter who organized The Shape of Shape with MoMA curator Michelle Kuo and curatorial assistant Jenny Harris, had filled the place with so many prints and paintings that my first impression was simply of riotous color and noise. Instead of fixing the pieces into a linear narrative or using them to illustrate one overarching point, Sillman left it to the viewer to draw connections. And because every viewer will do this differently, the exhibit comes across not as the usual lecture but as an electric, potentially infinite conversation.

This dinner-party mode of curating is increasingly popular. After the renovation, most of MoMA’s collection was rehung along similar lines, if not always as successfully. It’s making itself felt in arts education, too. More and more American MFA programs are replacing topdown authority and explicit instruction with carefully guided but open-ended searches for meaning. In the museums, of course, the trend has many sources. It’s as much about knocking down exclusionary canons as it is about generating conversation. But in the acad-

emy, much of it can be traced back four decades to the founding of an interdisciplinary, low-residency MFA at Bard College. “What is proposed is different from other MFA programs,” the poet Robert Kelly declared in the program’s founding document. “The Bard Program addresses the place where the arts meet, and recognizes that place as a person—not as a set of theories or a set of skills. The work of the student is the center. That work will often enough involve exactly the accumulation and practice of skills, of making, and of judgment. But it will also entail learning about the world an artist makes by declaring it.” (The MFA program kicked off in the summer of 1981, but it became an official part of the College’s charter in December of 1980.)

How exactly do you organize an infinite conversation? All the work in the MoMA show, I had been told, was concerned with shape, which sounded impossibly nebulous. Doesn’t all plastic art deal with shape? But once I got my bearings, and read Sillman’s impassioned wall text, I began to understand. These were pieces that emphasized shape disproportionately—which meant that they tended to be graphic, high contrast, and somewhere in the borderlands between the figurative and the abstract.

I also began to notice, with increasing excitement, the way these densely hung artworks affected one another. The stubby back of someone’s head in a 1968 oil on board by Philip Guston made the the place where the arts meet . . . is a person 9

This, in turn, gave the adjoining Lee Bontecou construction (Untitled, 1959) the look of a bulging saurian eyeball, and it lit up the glowing heart, clutched in a sooty fist, in a facing painting by Charline von Heyl (Igitur, 2008). Sillman’s wall text suggests that shape marks “what we consider to be the self,” and after starting from the Guston, I really did feel surrounded by so many portraits of a stubborn but protean human presence, maybe an artist’s, maybe my own.

If I started somewhere else, though, my experience was entirely different. Chris Ofili’s tall, explicitly figurative painting The Raising of Lazarus (2007) was framed by a vibrant blue Matisse (Bather, 1909), a woodcut by the German expressionist E. L. Kirchner (Three Nudes in the Forest, 1933), and a fabric-on-canvas piece by Jorge Eielson called White Quipus (1964). Comparing Matisse’s bather and Ofili’s figures to the man leaning over in a Christopher Wool etching (Untitled, 1994), I might begin to think about posture. What does it communicate? How is it different from gesture? How do those terms translate into writing or visual art? Or I might notice the closely related shades of yellow in the Eielson, the Ofili, and the Kirchner and begin to compare the whole room to a mosaic or a tapestry. In the end, Sillman’s idea became clear to me, but it wasn’t one, pace the wall text, that was easily abstracted into language. It was an idea best expressed by the art works themselves.

When the sculptor Arthur Gibbons began teaching at Bard in the summer of 1988, the program was, despite its interdisciplinary ambitions, still dominated by painters. But Gibbons, who became director of the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts just a few years later, recruited for the other disciplines aggressively. By the time Sillman came back to cochair painting in the late 1990s, every one of the six departments—painting, sculpture, writing, photography, film/video, and music/sound—was taking in approximately the same number of students each year.

In its structure, the program still reflects the outsize influence of painting: There are disciplinary seminars and cross-disciplinary

reading groups, but the students’ chief activity is meeting one-onone with 30 or more of the professional artists who pass through every one of the program’s three summer terms. It’s a loose equivalent of the studio visits that painters and sculptors especially will be trying to arrange once they graduate. Most nights there are also all-school critiques of student work, another format that fits more comfortably with the making of objects than with time-based media.

But in its conversations and relationships, the Bard MFA is as interdisciplinary as can be. A poet might find the most striking and transformative responses to her work coming from a painter, or vice versa. And the fact that everyone is trying to communicate without being able to count on any shared technical vocabulary gives the discourse a distinctive character, concrete in its references but strangely abstract in its overall movement. It takes time to catch on, and still more time to integrate. If the program’s 10-month intersessions are convenient for midcareer artists with jobs and families, they’re also about as long as it takes to think through what you see and hear in six weeks at Bard.

Poet and longtime MFA faculty member Ann Lauterbach singles out the program for what she calls its “institutional alacrity,” pointing out that it has been able to respond quickly to a changing academic and creative environment because it “trusts in a group of people, not a single person. . . . At the core of this program is discourse, and discourse can make things happen.”

Certain words float up again and again in the nightly critiques, emerging spontaneously to anchor the otherwise freewheeling conversations the way “shape” anchors MoMA’s Room 516. There must have been several such my own first summer, in 2010, but the one I remember is “anxiety.” I had come to Bard, after studying Japanese literature at Columbia and spending a fairly hermetic decade as a novelist, hoping to overhaul my creative practice and, not incidentally, find a community of peers. But with no substantial background either in contemporary art or in critical theory, I found the “crits” almost impossible to follow. I could recognize that the hundred-odd artists surrounding me, staring at work that as often as not was com-

10 bard’s mfa program at 40

pletely opaque to me, too, were speaking English. But for the first few weeks, at least, I rarely had any idea what anyone was talking about.

This might be one reason I initially felt most comfortable with classmates from other countries: I felt as if I’d wandered into a foreign country myself.

One of these classmates was Ragnheiður Gestsdóttir MFA ’13, whose trajectory encapsulates the generative magic of the interdisciplinary. After college in Iceland and a master’s in visual anthropology from London’s Goldsmiths College, Gestsdóttir spent 10 years making documentary films. “I had mostly been making films about music or art,” she explains. “[But] they slowly became more and more artsy and abstract until I realized I wanted to be making art myself.”

Though she enrolled in the film-video department, Gestsdóttir’s work continued evolving after she graduated. I was able to visit her during a 2017 group show at the Gerðarsafn in Kópavogur, Iceland, and the piece of hers I best remember was a sculpture, Who created the timeline? (Column).

Cut out of a 7-foot-tall sheet of marble held in a black steel frame is the shape of a classical column. On the face of it, the sculpture is a clear shot at the social infrastructure that makes some, and only some, of our shared human history canonical. Without modes of teaching and learning almost as rigid as marble, the shape of a column wouldn’t have more resonance in Kópavogur than the shape of an adobe brick.

But because this is a column you can see through, the piece makes another point, this one about the fundamental mechanism of successful art. It’s only when you leave space for the viewer’s own imagination, when you present a set of facts or gestures and let the viewer draw her own conclusions, that your work is really alive.

By the end of my own first summer at Bard, I could more or less follow the conversation, which was a great stroke of luck because that fall an editor I knew asked me to start writing reviews for the New York Observer. Over the next two years, even as I produced a tortured mix of fiction and memoir for the MFA, I reviewed something like 100 New York City gallery shows—about one for every third-year critique I attended. The time I spent in galleries trying to understand what the art was doing, and how to articulate my understanding, enriched my experience of Bard and its critiques even as those tense, dramatic, quickly moving critiques helped me learn to write about art. To me, it all felt like a single conversation.

It’s a conversation, moreover, whose potential goes beyond art itself—as Lauterbach says, the Bard MFA’s creative, unfixed, non-hierarchical conversation relies on “the ways in which art making can be seen as an analogue to a kind of democratic ethos.

Will Heinrich MFA ’13 was born in New York City and spent his early childhood in Japan. His second novel, The Pearls, was published by Elective Affinity, and he writes regularly about art for the New York Times.

let’s get physics, y’all

by James Rodewald ’82

The remarkable Physics Program alumni/ae who returned to Annandale this year to share their research interests, career paths, and Bard memories with current students and the wider community weren’t butchers, bakers, or candlestick makers. There was, however, a violinmaker, a solar energy consultant, and the inventor of a drawing-based mathematics language. They came back to campus to participate in a seminar series organized by Antonios Kontos, assistant professor of physics since 2017. Hal Haggard, also assistant professor of physics, made formalizing the speaker series one of his priorities when he came to Bard in 2014.

“Over the past few years, as more of our faculty are heavily engaged in physics research—we have a theoretical physicist, two experimentalists, and a brand new astronomer—the goals for the seminar have changed,” says Kontos. Some of those goals, he says, are to engage students with what is going on in physics beyond Bard, showcase possible career paths for physics students by inviting speakers from both inside and outside academia, provide opportunities for students to ask questions directly about careers and research, instill a sense of community for students in the program (a newly instituted ice-cream social—with ice cream made by students—is another such community-building measure), and bring people to Bard who are or could be research collaborators.

The particular focus in the 2019–20 academic year was to invite back students of Professor of Physics Matt Deady (now emeritus) before his retirement. This wasn’t mere sentimentality—though the sentiment was lovely—the speakers are all doing remarkable things.

After a semester of electronics with Burt Brody (now professor emeritus of physics) in which I marveled at Brody’s ability to make complicated and abstract ideas interesting and comprehensible, I enrolled in his physics class. It was twice as compelling, but 10 times harder, and I eventually gave up and dropped the class. I never stopped being interested in the subject, however, so when seminar announcements from the Physics Program started to hit my inbox last fall, I vowed to get to as many as I could. Most were way over my head, but all were thought provoking; I left each one with my mind reeling and my awe of fellow Bardians magnified. (For a complete list of Physics Program events, visit physics.bard.edu/events.)

Trevor LaMountain ’15 is a doctoral candidate at Northwestern whose recent research is on hybrid states of light and matter.

“Quantum states known as ‘exciton-polaritons,’ which exhibit properties of both light and matter, form when you put certain materials between two very closely spaced mirrors,” LaMountain explains. “I’m

studying new ways to manipulate and control these kinds of quantum states using very short pulses of light. By embedding semiconductors between two mirrors, we can greatly enhance the light-matter interaction, giving rise to much more exotic effects than just absorption, as in solar cells, or emission, as with LEDs.” In an email exchange after his talk (Controlling Hybrid States of Light and Matter in Atomically thin Semiconductors), LaMountain wrote, “I think one of Matt’s biggest attributes as a teacher at Bard was the amount of time he made available to students and the extent of his investment in us. Physics can feel intimidating, and Matt always made the time to meet with students and make it more accessible. He always knew how to solve a physics problem in three or more different ways, which is a broadly applicable strategy for approaching a lot of aspects of physics, especially experimental research in the lab (which is what I am doing now). When investigating open-ended research questions in the lab, it is really important to be aware of your choice in strategy for how you are trying to answer those questions. That way, if one approach fails, which happens more often than not in experimental work, you already have an idea for the next experiment to try. This kind of more abstract skill was definitely something that began developing for me while spending time solving textbook physics problems with Matt at Bard.”

Deady’s influence went way beyond the textbook, though.

LaMountain came from what he describes as a “nonacademic family,” and had assumed that graduate school would be beyond his means.

“Matt was my adviser at Bard, and he was the first person to discuss graduate school with me.” LaMountain wrote. “He told me that PhDs in physics and related fields are typically funded by the university and get a stipend. Matt is from a similar background as me, which was also really encouraging. That early advising helped me believe that graduate work was something within reach, and I am extremely grateful to him for serving as a guide to all of it.”

Megan Kerins ’06 has only recently begun her pursuit of a PhD, after more than a decade in the private sector and a stint with a sustainable-energy nonprofit. “I was trying to decide between going into astronomy and cosmology or something more applied after Bard,” says Kerins. “What tipped the balance was the acknowledgment that we were in a climate crisis. I wanted to solve immediate problems with my science and math skills.” This motivated Kerins to do her Bard Senior Project on the feasibility of using the Saw Kill as a hydropower energy source for Bard, a project which is now coming to fruition thanks to a New York State grant headed up by Chief alumni/ae come back to campus to tell their stories 13

Sustainability Officer Laurie Husted. Kerins earned an MS in civil engineering from Stanford and entered the renewable-energy industry, where she was involved in engineering and program management for solar and microhydropower projects in Thailand, Burma, and Ethiopia. She later served as an energy consultant to commercial-scale projects in the U.S. and Haiti. After more than a decade of navigating the challenges of working mostly in places where the infrastructure, not to mention the culture, were not always supportive, she took a job at the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit whose mission is “to transform global energy use to create a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future.”

During her seminar in Hegeman, Solar Microgrid Applications for Emerging Economies, Kerins discussed some of her sustainableenergy projects as well as her work at RMI, where she led the Renewable Microgrids Program. “I really wanted to show students what’s possible,” she says. “I loved physics, but I wanted to do something more applied after I graduated.” Asked why she decided to leave RMI and apply for a PhD program in electrical engineering, she replied, “As a woman in science and an engineer, it’s easier to get taken seriously if you have credentials. And research and thinking out problems deeply are things I still crave.”

Like LaMountain, Kerins credits Deady with influencing her problem-solving skills. “Matthew taught me how to think,” she says.

“He would get out all this printer paper and we’d start writing the problem out, thinking about it in a methodical way. He would put everything down on paper that would be useful—I can be scatterbrained, but I was able to adopt this more methodical way of thinking.”

Kerins had plenty of opportunity to exercise those methodical problem-solving muscles during her time in the applied trenches, but she’ll once again be calling on some of the more theoretical aspects of physics as she pursues her doctorate. Returning to Bard brought her back to her undergraduate days. “Being in the lab and watching Matt teach reminded me why I loved physics,” says Kerins. “He makes it so fun! He loves teaching, and he really cares. He wasn’t just thinking about publishing, or raising money for his lab. At Bard it’s about

14 let’s get physics, y’all

teachers teaching. He really embodies the love of learning, the love of teaching.”

Rachel Spitz-Becker ’12, a maker and restorer of fine instruments in New York City, had an overflow crowd for her seminar, Perspectives on Violin Making, Restoration, and Scientific Inquiry. Deady said that in his more than 30 years of teaching acoustics a few of his students had gone on to professional careers in music, citing appropriately odd bedfellows: Grammy-nominated metal and post-rock drummer Sebastian Thomson ’94 and Spitz-Becker.

A cellist from an early age, Spitz-Becker enrolled in the Bard College Conservatory of Music and chose physics for her second degree. She took several acoustics tutorials with Deady, and for her Senior Project, “An Experimental Investigation of the Directivity of Violin Sound Radiation,” Spitz-Becker built a rig in the basement of Hegeman to hold a violin and rotate it while she took measurements of the sound being radiated. “My point was to see if the sound is actually as directional as musicians think it is. I was very proud of myself for busting the myth that the sound comes out of the f-holes. No sound really comes out of the f-holes. Of course f-holes are really important for the sound, but that was my hot ‘gotcha.’”

After earning bachelor’s degrees in cello performance and physics, she was feeling, as she describes it, “really vague” about what to do next. “I knew I didn’t want to go to a conservatory—it seemed really cutthroat—and after doing five years of undergraduate work I was not so enthused about going to get a master’s.”

Instead, Spitz-Becker applied and was accepted to a violinmaking school in Salt Lake City, Utah. While she waited for the semester to start, she got a paid internship at the speaker and headphone company Bose, in the Transducer Technology Group, “where they actually design the speakers themselves—not the products, but the speakers,” she says. “It turned out to be perfect because it was basically what I’d just done for my Senior Project: taking measurements of radiated sound.”

Spitz-Becker’s captivating show-and-tell included a series of slow-motion close-up videos of violins vibrating, images of instruments in various stages of creation, parts of an actual viola, comparisons of old and new instruments, an explanation of how she makes her own varnish and pigments, and many references to the ways traditionalists view instrument making (along with occasional intimations that they might, in fact, be wrong—typical Bard student).

Nazmus Saquib ’11, whose work at first glance seems to inhabit the opposite end of the applied-versus-theoretical spectrum from Spitz-Becker, gave what turned out to be the final in-person installment of the physics speaker series for the spring semester. (The series continued via Zoom in April with Daniel Newsome ’02, visiting assistant professor of mathematics, presenting As Above, So Below, which explored “how wrong science has been in the past and how wrong it might be now” and Todd Krause ’97, physicist and linguist at the University of Texas at Austin, discussing parallels between two groups who “probe the fabric of reality” in Physicists and Papyrologists: Following the Trail of Artificers of Fact.) Saquib’s seminar, Embodied

Constructionist Mathematics, took attendees through the basics of the drawing-based mathematics he invented and went on to explore some of the ways his novel and powerful drawing language leverages embodied interactions to do mathematics.

“Algebra as a tool to manipulate symbols has been widely used to deal with mathematical abstractions,” says Saquib. “In this work, I demonstrate how the embodied, constructionist, and explainable elements of basic mathematics curricula such as counting, grouping, sets, shapes, et cetera can be combined with symbolic algebra and programming concepts. Compared to symbolic abstractions, this representation is more suitable for human perception and understanding of mathematics.”

Saquib demonstrated various ways the language can be used to help everyone from children being introduced to math to scientists doing presentations, and to improve augmented reality devices. “The power of this design language is that you can turn pictures and

sketches into computable and mathematical structures,” he says. “And you can define what these computable and mathematical structures will be according to the kinds of relationships you want in your pictures and sketches.”

It occurred to me as I listened to Saquib describe the use of human gestures and body postures to define programmable actions and drive interactions for storytelling, presentations, and information visualization, that perhaps I would’ve done better in physics if Burt Brody had been able to shrug, point, shimmy, and gesticulate the theories and equations. The thought alone gave me reason to smile, as do all my memories of Brody and other beloved professors, teachers who always look for ways to reach their students where they are and give them the tools to get where they want to go. The love of teaching that Matt Deady’s students all recall so fondly is part of a space-time continuum at Bard that stretches back decades and will assuredly go on long after we’re gone.

luis garcía-renart, 1936–2020

a cello virtuoso who was born to teach Luis García-Renart, professor emeritus and visiting professor of music, died June 6. He was 84 and had taught at Bard continuously since 1962. Born to a proud Catalan and Spanish family that was fiercely loyal to the Republic of Spain and at its fall took exile in Mexico—the nation that uniquely opened its doors to refugees from the Republic of Spain in the 1930s—García-Renart remained for his entire life a staunch Mexican patriot.

García-Renart started taking guitar lessons when he was 5, and at 11 began to play cello, studying with Imre Hartmann of the Léner String Quartet, which had relocated to Mexico City from Hungary to escape the Second World War. At 14, García-Renart was taken to southern France to play for his fellow Catalan exile Pablo Casals, who then began to supervise his training as a musician. Eventually he graduated to studying with Casals himself, spending half the year in France and the other half in Puerto Rico with the great man, who was known as much for his humanitarian work and moral stance as for his fabulous playing. García-Renart worked with Casals from 1956 to 1960, when he won a scholarship to the Conservatory in Moscow to study with Mstislav Rostropovich. In 1962, García-Renart was touring the Northeast with his pianist sister, Marta, when he was invited to Bard by his former chamber music coach Emil Hauser— the venerable founder of the Budapest String Quartet, who had joined the faculty in 1951—to play a recital. The next morning, over breakfast with President Reamer Kline, García-Renart, who was 26, had no college degree, and had left high school in eighth grade, was offered a job. He stayed for 58 years.

“Luis began his career as a brilliant, prize-winning virtuoso cellist,” writes President Leon Botstein. “Despite his talent and accomplishments as an instrumentalist, Luis was never comfortable with the values and demands of an international concert career. As he and his students discovered, Luis was born to teach. He, like Emil Hauser before him, became the primary teacher of instrumental music at the college.”

Though he had an elite musical pedigree, one of the hallmarks of his teaching was openness. Kyle Gann, Taylor Hawver and Frances Bortle Hawver Professor of Music, wrote in a 2012 Bardian story celebrating García-Renart’s 50 years at the College that, “His aim with students, he says, is to ‘wake up what’s inside them,’ and teach them to ‘find their way into the piece.’” Many Bard students who had the gift of his instruction have gone on to careers of great renown, others

had their only transformative musical experience singing in the Bard College Chorus under his direction. García-Renart took them all seriously and made them all feel that they belonged.

“Luis loved teaching,” writes President Botsein. “At Bard, he was as generous with a beginner as he was with an advanced student. He turned no one away and believed in the potential of every student.

He was the finest chamber music coach I have ever observed and the most gifted counselor on the complex subject of string playing. Luis taught everything in Bard’s music curriculum. In every lesson and in every class the intensity of emotion and beauty of form in all manner of musics were never absent.”

García-Renart was principal cellist in the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, and played countless concerts as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He taught for many years at Vassar College, alongside his Bard appointment. García-Renart turned to conducting in the 1970s and was acting music director of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, conductor of the Cappella Festiva, the first Bard Community Chorus, the Bard College Orchestra, and the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra. Botstein recalls that one of the most memorable of his concerts was “an unannounced midnight performance of Mexican songs, here at Bard, with Luis playing the guitar and singing.”

García-Renart was also an essential part of Bard’s Conservatory of Music, primarily as a coach, in his last decade and a half. “Musicians, not only string players, but instrumentalists of all types and singers went to perform for him, seeking his advice and counsel,” continues Botstein. “The conservatory students experienced in Luis’s final years as a teacher not only his love of music but also his striving for expressive commitment and perfection so that no note and musical phrase fails to reach the heart and soul of the listener. Countless musicians, many of great distinction, owe a deep debt to Luis’s instruction. The list of professionals whom he influenced is astonishing. To that list we must add generations of Bard students, musicians and non-musicians alike. Luis instilled the love of music as an essential form of life.

An extraordinary belief in music and a unique link to the great 20thcentury traditions of performance were sparked and sustained by Luis’s teaching. And he loved Bard and was grateful to it.”

Luis García-Renart is survived by his sister; his children, Kati ’89 (who teaches dance at Simon’s Rock), Marcel, Isel, Evan ’13, Julian, and Ana Isabel; and his former wife, Prudence ’65.

seeing dreams

by Raphael Wolf ’18

Many who have lived in Annandale-on-Hudson or its environs can attest to something eerie whirring through the oak leaves at night, or hovering in a distant field, or flitting along the electrical wiring of a Gothic house. While most would dismiss such superstition, these phenomena—so insubstantial as to be just a feeling—manifest only to the few who are sensitive to them. Arthur Tress ’62 was taken by this peculiar quality of the area when, at 18, he moved upstate from Brooklyn, New York, in 1958 to study visual arts at Bard. That particular aura would work its way into his later photography.

Arthur Tress, Bard College Commencement, 1962

Tress began taking photographs in elementary school, and continued to document the carnivalesque Coney Island of his youth through high school. At Bard, where film and photography had not yet been formally incorporated into the curriculum, Tress took philosophy classes with Heinrich Blücher, and produced for his Senior Project, advised by the artist Louis Shanker, a series of abstract landscape paintings. He was just one of four art majors that year, and he says the fledgling art department was “in some way an ideal situation for an independent spirit like myself.” He further speculates that being part of a new and not yet institutionalized program was part of the reason the works he produced at the time “have such an idiosyncratic buoyancy and freedom unusual in an academic situation.”

This independence also allowed Tress to experiment with the moving image. His early filmmaking explored the haunting underbelly of the Hudson Valley, and three years after graduating he presented the short film Gardens of Tivoli at the Film-Makers’ Cinematheque in lower Manhattan. In his Village Voice column Movie Journal, the late filmmaker, critic, and patron saint of American avant-garde cinema Jonas Mekas (brother of Adolfas, founder of the Bard film department) saw promise in the young filmmaker: “From a great number of newcomers I have seen lately, I put my bet on Arthur Tress,” whose work, he wrote, reveals “a poetic world that is his own.” This quality—the ability to articulate a distinctive world— is equally present in Tress’s still images, which he was producing at the same time. Though the photographs are often staged with models and props, they are, despite their manufactured theatricality, so uncanny they seem spontaneous and real.

In the years after he graduated, candid street photography was all the rage, while the New Topographics movement, with pictures of unpopulated industrial landscapes by the likes of Stephen Shore (Bard’s Susan Weber Professor in the Arts and director of the Photography Program), was beginning to take hold. Resisting fashion, in 1970 Tress began a series of semistaged works with children enacting their dreams. This project—Dream Collector—began when a former classmate from Bard, Richard Lewis ’58, called and proposed working together. Lewis was conducting workshops in New York City public schools that hoped to encourage children to explore the arts.

The photographs that came out of this collaboration are imbued with an indescribable and unmistakable rural eeriness. Tress says Blücher’s love of myth and fable “influenced me greatly in this and later series.”

Artists, whose role is to be sensitized to the subtleties and minutiae of the world, are often the ones most receptive to the submerged presence of unusual things. For Tress it is specifically the photographer who is most attuned to these latent frequencies, engaged in “an almost ritual dance with the world whereupon his own intense response to its rhythms corresponds to his being able to predict its following certain predetermined patterns.” This ritual dance plays out in Tress’s process in Dream Collector, where he would set out with a specific dream in mind, but allow his instinct as a documentary photographer to determine the location and composition. “The

photographer as magician is just someone who is more acutely aware of the subliminal ‘vibrations’ of the everyday world which can call forth hidden emotions or states,” he says. “He is, himself, totally ‘opened’ to the multiplicities of associations that are submerged behind the appearances of the objective world.”

For Tress, the photographer’s power is not just sharpened awareness of light and composition, or ability to see in fractions of a second, but an almost supernatural understanding of the subliminal world. “Incipient strangeness” is Tress’s term: strangeness that is commencing, just beginning to take form. It is this flicker of the uncanny’s emergence that Tress’s photographs magically capture. A barred owl stands inches ahead on a highway centerline; its gaze reaches through the lens, making the viewer question exactly whose image is being captured. A short body stands on a country road, pausing like the owl to absorb its surroundings, this time through large prosthetic hearing instruments growing from its head; again, the equalizing, dawn-like light renders the background trees as sketched silhouettes. A similar scene: a boy’s face pokes out from the torso of a hooded, shadowed figure hovering in the middle of a paved pathway; the boy’s untroubled countenance defies the menacing body and the large ringed knuckles resting on his chest. Another small person, this one ascending a wooden stairwell; rather than appearing absurd, the oversized face of a gnome somehow seems natural resting on a white Victorian nightgown. One might wonder what it says as it passes by. In the aftermath of a tempest of sheet music—a ballad of a dream—the hardwiring of perception is inverted: standing in the foundations of a wrecked house, one figure bows his head and reads the music on the ground, another leans against a wall and hears the building. An expanse of cracked mud that could belong to any planet or geological era sets the landscape; the young boy at the center, caked in the earth, squints at the camera unbothered, the hand- and footprints that surround him evidence of some dance or battle.

Tress has worked as a documentary photographer in France, Egypt, India, Japan, and Mexico. In 1986, the Photography Gallery of London organized Talisman, his first career retrospective, which traveled over the next four years to Oxford, England; Frankfurt, Germany; and Charlerol, Belgium. Another retrospective five years later, Fantastic Voyage, Photographs 1956-2000, was mounted at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. He has produced more than 50 photo books, his work is in the collections of numerous museums, and Stanford Libraries’ Department of Special Collections acquired his archives in 2019 with the launch of its new program focused on developing a rich photographic research and teaching collection. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles recently acquired a complete set of the original Dream Collector photographs—six of which are seen here—and is planning a major exhibition and catalog for late 2022. Tress continues to make new work, capturing that incipient strangeness as only he can.

leading the way

by Orit Gat CCS ’11

A tradition was born one night at an impromptu dinner when the conversation turned to an exhibition someone was organizing.

Around the table we discussed possible titles, artist selection, who the audience would be, what the wall text should say—it felt familiar and rigorous. At a certain point a realization occurred: we were all graduates of the Center for Curatorial Studies (CCS) at Bard College.

Those dinners soon expanded to include almost a generation of alumnae. Some of us were meeting for the first time, others had worked or studied together. Some lived in New York City, and at times we organized dinners because one or more of us were in from out of town. Sometimes people came with experiences or ideas they wanted 26 ccs bard at 30

to discuss, sometimes we just talked about exhibitions we’d seen. It was a natural outgrowth of one of the most important things CCS gave us: a community.

In a black-and-white photo taken in 1988 at art collector and patron Marieluise Hessel’s country home in Wyoming, Leon Botstein, who had at that point been Bard’s president for a little more than a decade, is seated at a small table dominated by a boxy “laptop” computer. He is working on an initial proposal for a future museum and graduate school at Bard. It would carry Hessel’s name and involve a group of students working with and around her collection.

Hessel began collecting art in her mid 20s, an extraordinarily young age. In a recent interview with Tom Eccles, executive director of CCS and the Hessel Museum of Art since 2005, she explains that the people she was meeting at the time—gallerists, artists, and curators—were all about the same age as her, so seeing, talking about, and buying art were integrated into her daily life. Hessel went on to assemble a world-class collection, full of masterpieces by artists like Valie Export, Donald Judd (a six-unit wall piece is on loan to MoMA for a major retrospective of the artist’s work), Robert Mapplethorpe, Nam June Paik, and Felix González Torres. As Eccles notes in the interview, which he conducted for the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the collection, there are works that are still challenging today. Hessel says in response that when she bought German painter Imi Knoebel’s Kite Room (1971), a painting in white acrylic on an unusually shaped piece of wood, her husband joked that she was now collecting “ironing boards.”

Hessel had always imagined her collection would eventually go to a museum in a small town. It was Botstein who convinced her that place should be Bard College, where it would be displayed, but would also be used by students. That is how the world’s first degree-granting program in curating was born. In October 1990, Botstein organized a meeting at the Century Club in Manhattan with a group of curators, art historians, and writers who formed a committee to advise on what a graduate school for curators should be. Among those convened were Norton Batkin, who went on to be the first director of the new institution and was Bard’s dean of graduate studies from 2006 to 2020; art historian Benjamin Buchloh; art critic Arthur Danto; and former Artforum editor-in-chief Ingrid Sischy. (A transcript of that meeting is in the CCS archives.)

So what should an academic program in curating be? The answer will change over time; it already has. Over these three decades, graduates have gone on to become institutional and independent curators, museum directors, PhD students in art history and other cultural fields, artists, art critics, and more. “CCS’s educational philosophy is a history of exhibitions, which by nature means a history of audiences, reception, and the shifting politics around art and display,” says art critic and professor Wendy Vogel ’09. (All class years in this article refer to CCS graduation.) “CCS also takes into account how developments such as feminism and post-colonialism inform not just art but its presentation,” she adds. Vogel says that when she was studying, at the end of George W. Bush’s second term as president and after Obama was elected, when the art world was enthralled with formalism rather than political urgencies, she felt her CCS education prepared her to think of art politically, in an engaged way that went beyond aesthetics.

The program is meant to provide both practical and theoretical training in contemporary art, and it has been around long enough for its curriculum to change. Ann Butler, director of library and archives at CCS and the Hessel Museum, describes how, in the first 12 years of the institution’s history, a crucial part of first-year practical studies course was the assembling of binders documenting specific exhibitions. These included photocopied reproductions, photo-

graphs, and other institutional matter about past exhibitions. The assignment was discontinued in 2009, but the work by those students—the Exhibition History Study Collection—is part of the library’s holdings. Now exhibition histories are taught with much more focus on students conducting archival research and looking more closely at primary information. CCS is both adjusting and leading the conversation about what a curatorial education is.

When I was a student at CCS, classes took place in seminar room 1. It had no windows. I can’t remember what seminar room 2 was like—I think it was mainly used for small electives and film screenings—but I assume it also had no windows. I remember being so jealous of students who came after me and the construction of seminar room 3. It has three huge windows and is still referred to by many people as “the sun room.” Vitamin D deficiency notwithstanding, spending two years talking about art and theory in a windowless room with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met was a privilege.

Of course it wasn’t all dim rooms and binders: during the first year of the program there is a group research trip abroad to see an international art exhibition. It’s a bonding experience and a point of access to an increasingly international art world. Sarah Higgins, now editor-in-chief of Art Papers, says that the research trip, to Germany, was the first time she left the United States. “This was, for me, a moment of heightened class awareness,” she says. “I was the only student in my cohort without a passport. That experience of traveling internationally was totally liberating and empowering.”

In our correspondence, Higgins and I found ourselves talking, again, about the opportunities the school has given us—in fact, most of the alumni/ae I talked to emphasized how CCS had helped them get through contemporary art’s hard-to-open doors. I couldn’t imagine writing about art without the conversations I had with my cohort, at school and after. And I couldn’t imagine my life as an art critic without following the development of other CCS alumni/ae who are now curating biennials (Gabi Ngcobo ’10, 2018 Berlin Biennial; Manuela Moscoso ’11, Liverpool Biennial 2020); curating at institutions in New York (Kelly Taxter ’03, Jewish Museum; Sohrab Mohebbi ’10, SculptureCenter, who in July was named curator of the 2022 Carnegie International), Los Angeles (Anne Ellegood ’98, Hammer Museum; Summer Guthery ’09, JOAN), and abroad (Sofia Hernández Chong Cuy ’00, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam; Chen Tamir ’07, Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv), and running residency programs, art magazines, art schools, and other institutions.

One of the stepping stones of the program is a series of meetings with a committee made up of faculty members, curators, artists, and theorists active in the contemporary art field who debate, approve, and critique students’ thesis projects. The thesis project involves a written dissertation and an exhibition at the CCS Galleries for which students work with artists directly, with artworks drawn from the Hessel Collection, or with a combination of the two. The experience of working in a professional museum—the beautiful spaces, the professional team of art installers, the advice from classmates and feedback from faculty and graduate committee—is unique to CCS. So is leading the way 27

the opportunity to work with Hessel’s collection, which carries with it an insistence that contemporary curating is not ahistorical, and that work made today can and should be read in the context of work made 10, 20, or 40 years ago. Though some students have opted to work outside the CCS Galleries, commissioning public artworks for outdoor spaces like the Rhinecliff Amtrak station (Michelle Hyun ’11), or editing books. Özge Ersoy ’10, now public program lead at Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, for example, edited a book, How to Begin?

Envisioning the Impact of Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, engaging with questions of the Guggenheim’s future effect on the region.

Most of the curatorial degree programs that have sprung up in recent years include an exhibition component, usually a group show that the entire cohort works on collaboratively. The 2013 CCS class decided they wanted to do something closer to that. The result was Less Like An Object More Like The Weather, a single exhibition in which all the individual projects came together under one title on both sides of the building: the CCS Galleries and the Hessel Museum. The title was suggested by Sarah Fritchey ’13 (now curator and gallery director at Artspace New Haven) and inspired by an interview in which John Cage describes his work with Merce Cunningham: “In an object, you can tell where the boundaries are. But in the weather, it’s impossible to say when something begins or ends.” Cora Fisher ’13, curator of visual art for the Brooklyn Public Library, described the decision to embrace collaboration as the result of “a group sentiment that we could be doing something more interesting collectively.” She adds, “The beauty of being able to negotiate systems is a big part of the education of being a curator, in the doing more so than in the theorizing.”

Higgins adds that, after years of the thesis shows being separated into two sessions at the CCS Galleries, now all thesis shows happen concurrently across the entire building, so even if future classes do not conceive of their thesis exhibitions as a collective project, “our crazy one-off gambit was accidentally written into future theses.”

That shared experience, those collective negotiations, create lasting bonds. “At CCS I met some of the people who were to become colleagues and partners in many projects,” says Cecilia Alemani ’05, curator of the 2022 Venice Biennale, the world’s largest contemporary art exhibition. “One of the most rewarding aspects of the program is its community: many of your classmates and teachers will become colleagues, mentors, and coconspirators for years to come.” This year’s edition of Greater New York, MoMA PS1’s major quinquennial exhibition of art made in New York City, is curated by a team of four, three of whom went to CCS: Inés Katzenstein ’01, curator of Latin American art and director of the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America at MoMA; Ruba Katrib ’07, curator at PS1; writer and curator Serubiri Moses ’19; and Kate Fowle, director of MoMA PS1.

Nine years after graduation, Natasha Llorens ’11, independent curator in residence at the Jan van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands says, “The relationships I still have with my cohort are some of the most valuable in my life, on both a professional and intellectual level.

This applies to those I am still in close contact with and those I was never personally close to but whose work I have followed for years 28 ccs bard at 30

from a distance. I read their writing, go to their shows, look forward to their critical feedback on my shows, recommend them to artists, and pay attention to the artists they invest in. Some do the same for me, and I count on this engagement to motivate me to persistently critically reevaluate my own work.”

And this community’s impact goes beyond itself, Vogel says. “I think CCS’s influence is so widespread that it has inspired not only a huge number of new curatorial programs but has also affected the discipline of art history. We should acknowledge its history as one of the very first programs that took on the studying of exhibitions and curating as disciplines, as opposed to studying individual artworks and movements.”

At the time CCS was founded, such a change in emphasis represented a paradigm shift. That focus seems more pertinent and important than ever. “Today you can follow every artist, gallery and museum activity on the internet,” Hessel says in her interview with Eccles, “As soon as an artist gets a good write-up, you have to buy.

People buy art online. When I began collecting, I got all my information by visiting galleries, talking to gallery owners, and visiting museum shows. Great curators led the way and told us what art was.”

Thirty years after the founding of the institution that carries her name, and the graduate program that was designed to expand it, CCS keeps proving that great curators can still lead the way, in dialogue with each other.

Center for Curatorial Studies Exhibitions The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard (CCS Bard) celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and had three major exhibitions planned; all have been rescheduled. A full-scale survey of the groundbreaking but understudied Pattern and Decoration (P&D) art movement, With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972–1985, will be on view at the Hessel Museum of Art from June 26 through November 28, 2021. P&D defied the dominance of modernist art by embracing the much-maligned category of the decorative and forms traditionally coded as feminine, domestic, ornamental, or craft based. P&D artists adopted motifs, color schemes, and materials from the decorative arts, freely appropriating floral, arabesque, and patchwork patterns and arranging them in intricate, and sometimes purposefully gaudy designs. Their work evokes a diverse array of sources from Islamic architectural ornamentation to American quilts, wallpaper design, Persian carpets, and Japanese Imari ware. Shaped and driven in large part by the development of feminist art-historical methods, P&D sought to create an art based on aesthetic and political principles of inclusion. Originally on view at MOCA Grand Avenue and organized by MOCA curator Anna Katz, with assistant curator Rebecca Lowery, the exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated, scholarly catalogue published in association with Yale University Press.

Sky Hopinka: Centers of Somewhere, curated by Lauren Cornell, director of the CCS Bard Graduate Program and chief curator, is on view in the CCS Bard Galleries through February 14, 2021. Centers of Somewhere presents a newly commissioned, multichannel work by Sky Hopinka alongside a selection of his recent videos. A member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, Hopinka, who recently joined the Bard faculty as assistant professor of film and electronic arts, is best known for videos that center on personal positions of indigenous homeland and explore language as a container of culture. A poet and writer as well, he is deeply invested in the revitalization of indigenous language. CCS Bard copublished a book of Hopinka’s writings, titled Perfidia, with Wendy’s Subway, a non-profit reading room, writing space, and independent publisher. The book features an essay by Julie Niemi CCS ’17 and a foreword by Cornell.

Closer to Life: Drawings and Works on Paper in the Marieluise Hessel Collection, curated by Tom Eccles (CCS Bard executive director), Amy Zion CCS ’12 (visiting faculty), and Cornell, will be on view at in the CCS Bard Galleries in celebration of CCS Bard’s 30th anniversary from June 26 through October 17, 2021.

This exceptional survey of drawings and works on paper from the Marieluise Hessel Collection will feature some 75 drawings by 50 artists spanning more than four decades of collecting by philanthropist Marieluise Hessel, cofounder of CCS Bard. Closer to Life focuses, with a few exceptions, on drawing as a discrete, stand-alone practice and preoccupation of artists rather than as a tool to create studies for works in other mediums. The exhibition will be accompanied by a comprehensive, fully illustrated, 380-page catalogue. top Robert Kushner, Fairies, 1980 Acrylic on canvas With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972-1985 Marieluise Hessel Collection. photo Chris Kendall ’82 center Sky Hopinka, I’ll Remember You as You Were, not as What You’ll Become, 2016 Total run time: 12:32.

open society university network

education for the global good

by James Rodewald ’82

Bard College has been—among many other things—a haven for distinguished writers, artists, intellectuals, and scientists fleeing Nazism; site of a World War II Army Specialized Training Program for elite soldiers studying languages or engineering; refuge for Hungarian students exiled after participating in the 1956 revolution against the Stalinist government; leader in the early college movement; and advocate for the underserved. Through all the ups and downs, political twists and turns, social upheavals, and humanitarian crises, Bard has been steadfast in its commitment to freedom, human dignity, and education for the common good.

30 open society university network

An expansion of that commitment occurred in January, when financier George Soros announced a $1 billion donation from his Open Society Foundations (OSF) to support a new international network of universities with the aim of promoting “critical thinking, open intellectual inquiry, and fact-based research to strengthen foundations of open society amid authoritarian resurgence.” The Open Society University Network (OSUN) is jointly led by Bard and Central European University (CEU), a graduate institution founded

by Soros in Budapest that was forced to move its center of operations

illustration Michelle Gutiérrez ’19

to Vienna last year under pressure from the persistently illiberal Hungarian government, which has curtailed academic freedom and made CEU illegal as an American degree-granting institution.

The new network builds on decades of Bard’s higher-education collaboration and community-engagement experience. For example, the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) includes a range of studentand faculty-run initiatives, such as the Trustee Leader Scholar (TLS) program and the Human Rights Project, under its umbrella. Several ongoing institutional initiatives —including the Bard Prison Initiative (Max Kenner ’01), the free Spanish-language magazine La Voz (Emily Schmall ’05 and Mariel Fiori ’05), and the mentorship program for young men of color from underserved communities Brothers at Bard (Dariel Vasquez ’17 and Harry Johnson ’17)—began as TLS projects.

“We decided to create an institutional culture of serious, thoughtful and nonpartisan engagement in the world,” President Leon Botstein told the New York Times in 2011, when CCE was established. That culture has grown tremendously over the last decade in Annandale and internationally, and OSUN will expand educational access to “neglected and minority populations, such as incarcerated persons, the Roma, and refugees.” Botstein has been named the first and founding chancellor of OSUN, an appointment that runs concurrently with his role as president of Bard.

“The network brings resilience and sustainability,” says Jonathan Becker, Bard’s vice president for academic affairs and one of OSUN’s two vice chancellors. (Liviu Matei, provost of CEU and father of Daniel Matei ’19, is the other). OSUN also greatly increases learning opportunities for students through study-away programs, civic engagement projects, student conferences, and virtual international exchanges. There will be shared curricula to facilitate student movement among the institutions; joint degree programs; and network courses, which unite students and faculty from several universities located in different parts of the world in the classroom, sharing faculty and conducting joint research projects in which people from many universities collaborate. Becker recently taught a network course on civic engagement in partnership with four other institutions. “We’ve been experimenting with these over the last few years, and we’ve realized that more engagement between students in different campuses is better,” Becker says. Bard students and faculty now have even more ways to engage.

Much of what OSUN aims to do in the short term expands on the current work of CEU and longtime Bard Network members such as Al-Quds University in the West Bank, and American University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan. For its part, CEU has a Global Teaching Fellows Program that places doctoral students and recent doctoral graduates in international partner institutions. Those models will also be adapted to initiatives at other OSUN higher education institutions: Brac University in Bangladesh, American University of Bulgaria, Sciences Po in Paris, Bard College Berlin, Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, Ashesi University in Ghana, European Humanities University in Lithuania, Birkbeck: University of London, SOAS University of London, and Fulbright University of Vietnam.

Arizona State University, a leader in distance learning, is the other current United States–based school. The research institutions and educational organizations in OSUN are Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs (U.S.), Chatham House (U.K.), Institute for New Economic Thinking (U.S. and U.K.), Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (Vienna), Open Society Archives (Budapest), Rift Valley Institute (Kenya), and the Talloires Network, an international association of institutions headquartered at Tufts University in Massachusetts that is focused on promoting civic education. A “scholars at risk” program will connect academically excellent scholars who are politically endangered through this new global network. Additional partners with shared values and principles will be welcomed in the future.

Areas of particular focus for OSUN will include democracy, sustainability and climate change, inequality, human rights, transnational politics, and the arts and society. Bard brings a wealth of experience in those areas, as well as teacher-education programs focused on student-centered learning, early college and microcollege programs that help prepare disadvantaged students for university, programs to help refugees and other displaced people enter or resume college, and civic engagement programs. “We’re continuing a number of programs, we’re expanding on some of them, and we’re launching and developing new programs all at once,” Becker says. One such new program, a partnership between OSUN and the Talloires Network, Communities of Virtual Alliance and Inter-Dependence (COVAID) supports universities engaged in the global response to COVID-19.

Key goals of the new network are to integrate learning and the advancement of knowledge across geographic and demographic boundaries, promote civic engagement on behalf of open societies, and expand access of underserved communities to higher education.

OSUN is distinguished by the breadth and depth of integration across participating institutions, by its shared commitment to advance open society and address fundamental global challenges, and by its members’ geographic and institutional diversity. Innovative uses of online platforms and connected learning approaches will facilitate OSUN’s efforts to bring together students, faculty, and researchers from diverse communities into regular interaction and collaborative learning. OSUN will integrate curricula, courses, and research initiatives across different countries and create a vibrant network of diverse institutions, which will include institutes of advanced studies, think tanks, museums, and artistic, cultural, and educational centers.

Botstein, who hopes OSUN will “succeed in providing greater access to high quality higher education among underserved populations and help strengthen the role and presence of art and culture in higher education in the defense of freedom and in the practice of democracy,” called OSUN, “the most transformative initiative in higher education I have witnessed in my career. It promises robust and diverse partnerships, and innovation extending critical inquiry, research, and scholarship on an international scale.”

Bard’s 160th Commencement was initially postponed from May 23 and ultimately reimagined to accommodate the restrictions and complications of public gatherings in a COVID-19 world. Despite the pandemic, the 437 undergraduate and 161 graduate students who received degrees on August 22—in absentia, of course—were celebrated wholeheartedly and honored not only for their academic achievements but also for their remarkable resilience and perseverance. “I have never been prouder of a graduating class than I am of this class of 2020,” President Leon Botstein began his livestreamed charge.

The global pandemic, economic collapse, laying bare of systemic racism, obscene wealth inequality, and the damage being inflicted by climate change and environmental neglect have “eroded public confidence in democracy, . . . fueled a sense of powerlessness, and whetted a popular appetite for autocracy and tyranny,” Botstein said. But these societal ills also provide the backdrop for optimism and opportunity.

“We have a chance to create good government,” he continued, highlighting a need that has never before been so obvious. “[Graduates of the class of 2020] have the skills of inquiry, curiosity, criticism, and improvisation—hallmarks of liberal learning—that the economy and politics of this century demand.”

The privilege of such an education brings with it the responsibility to be “vigilant in seeing to it that, after the nightmare of our

current government is over, we give our fellow citizens the public elementary and secondary education a true democracy deserves,” said Botstein. “Only with a system of education that is both equitable and excellent can the promise of freedom and the rights of democracy and an open society be realized for all.”

As difficult, disruptive, and at times frustrating as the shift to remote learning was for students and teachers, it made abundantly clear the limitations of technology. “True learning and intellectual and artistic progress have been made and will continue to be made in a community of scholars, scientists, students, and artists, in person and in groups, without masks, without isolation and social distance,” said Botstein. “Without a balance between the individual and the social and the ability to see the smiles of others, freedom and justice will not flourish.”

Musician, author, and visual artist David Byrne joined Botstein, at a distance, in the graduation tent in Annandale. His remarks, broadcast for all to see and hear (and archived at bard.edu/commencement), were a window into his wide-ranging brain. Like Botstein, Byrne focused on the opportunity presented by the moment. He echoed a refrain in “Once in a Lifetime,” one of his best-known songs, when he said “same as it ever was,” but clarified that, in fact, the constant is change. “The pandemic has pulled back the curtain, which has 160th commencement 33

revealed both the worst and the best of what and who we are,” he said.

“Arundhati Roy referred to this moment as a portal when we have unprecedented opportunity to change things, to cross into another world. In this moment, we have been both cursed and blessed. . . . An era based on a set of biases and assumptions is ending. In a sense, we’re lucky. The portal that she mentions is opened and we have a chance to go through it.”

Byrne reminded us that what we now take as given was not always so. He illustrated his point that “the changes that have happened . . . they’re here because we made them so” with examples from history, including slavery, women’s suffrage, education as a right, interracial marriage, gay marriage, clean air, and clean water. “These changes weren’t predictable,” he said. “And they weren’t inevitable.

People make these changes. Things that seemed impossible have happened, and they will continue to happen. There’s no guarantee that change will be good. That part is up to us.”

HONORARY DEGREES Byrne and musician and performer Laurie Anderson received Doctor of Fine Arts degrees; Steven Chu, physicist and advocate for renewable energy, was awarded a Doctor of Science degree; Doctor of Humane Letters degrees went to Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, Linda E. Johnson, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Public Library, and Ellen Condliffe Lagemann, a nationally recognized expert in education research; and biophysicist George D. Rose ’63 received a Doctor of Science Alumni/ae Honorary Degree.

Jacques Séguin

Christine I. Wallich photo Annette Hornischer

Jacques Séguin is a French heart surgeon who, after performing more than 4,000 open-heart surgeries over 20 years and authoring more than 200 peer-reviewed journal articles, founded several medical technology companies. He supports the Program for International Education and Social Change, a Bard College Berlin scholarship program for students from regions of conflict. Christine I. Wallich, an international economist, has served in senior leadership positions at the World Bank and other international financial institutions for more than two decades. She led an EU–World Bank Consortium of donors that raised $5 billion for Bosnia’s postconflict reconstruction and spearheaded World Bank economic advisory work on institutional and economic reforms in Eastern Europe, China, the former Soviet Union, and, subsequently, Russia, focusing on corporate and public sector governance, the role of civil society, and the transition to market economy.

Studies Laud Bard Early Colleges The first Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) opened in 2001 with the goal of extending the liberal arts college experience to public high school students, particularly students typically underrepresented in higher education, who can earn an associate in arts degree from Bard College as well as a high school diploma. That initiative has been wildly successful academically and economically, and there are now, in edition to the original BHSEC in Manhattan, schools in Queens, New York; Newark, New Jersey; Cleveland; Baltimore; and Washington, D.C. A recent report by Ithaka Strategy and Research, a prominent voice in higher education policy and practice, concludes that the BHSEC model should be replicated by “institutions, particularly selective colleges, interested in expanding the reach of a rigorous liberal arts experience to students from a range of backgrounds who do not historically have access.” The statistics cited

by Ithaka are compelling. “Enrollment is diverse: across all campuses, 15 percent of students are Asian, 40 percent Black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 26 percent white. Forty percent of students at BHSEC are first-generation, and an estimated 68 percent are eligible for federal Pell grants. And importantly, students who attend a BHSEC are likely to succeed. Overall, the BHSECs have a graduation rate of 98.4 percent and an associate’s attainment rate of 82.4 percent.”

Another recent analysis, this one from the Education Trust–New York, looks at the rates at which low-income high school students in New York State are progressing to a bachelor’s degree. Their research shows that, of the state’s 1,100 public high schools, BHSEC Manhattan and BHSEC Queens are the two leaders in on-time college success for economically disadvantaged students.

Bard’s early colleges model is reproducible, has proven durable over time, and BHSECs generate a greater return on investment than “specialized/selective” and traditional high schools. And early colleges save money—approximately $27,200 per public college students and $72,600 per private college students— by reducing the time needed to complete a bachelor’s degree.

Bardian Artists Tackle Monumental Issues Despite compelling evidence to the contrary, American society has evolved.

One sign of that evolution is, well, signs. Ongoing discussions about the inappropriate use of Native American stereotypes as mascots for sports teams is one example; an even more vivid one is the call for contextualization or removal of monuments to those who promulgated the white supremacist ideology that was the basis of the slave economy. Jess Wilcox CCS ’09, director and curator of exhibitions at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, New York, wants that conversation to advance even further. Her yearlong show Monuments Now opened this summer with work by Bard College Artist in Residence Jeffrey Gibson, Xaviera Simmons ’05, and Paul Ramírez Jonas; expanded in September with work by 10 additional artists; and expanded again, when a group of high school students (Socrateens) debuted their collectively researched and realized monument. Gibson, an artist of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, installed a vibrant ziggurat-like structure made from plywood, scaffolding, and patterned wheatpasted graphics. Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House—an homage to the ingenuity of indigenous North American peoples and cultures, pre-Columbian Mississippian architecture, and queer camp aesthetics —evokes the earthen architecture of the ancient metropolis of Cahokia, the largest city of the indigenous Mississippian people at its height in the 13th century. Such sites “serve as evidence that there were realized and flourishing civilizations before European contact,” says Gibson. “I see the work as a platform for voices from individuals and communities outside of the mainstream to project themselves.” Throughout the exhibition, the work will double as a performance space for musicians and dancers. Simmons, a 2020 recipient of Bard’s Charles Flint Kellogg Award in Arts and Letters, created a series of “sculptural forms holding landscapes of text composed of fragments of language culled from historical documents that are foundational, guiding, or pivotal to the present intertwining of the centuries of racial caste construction and current system of disenfranchisement in the United States.” Simmons calls The structure the labor the foundation the escape the pause “a monument to systemic promises denied.” Like Gibson, Simmons is going beyond historic injustice; her work also celebrates the creative impulse. “Most of America—the buildings, the landscape, the architecture—are monuments to a single narrative,” Simmons says. “There are

few monuments dedicated to cultures other than the culture of whiteness, so you have to think about all the monuments that are not there.”

Socrates Sculpture Park operates as an independent nonprofit on land owned by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. It can be visited at no charge, 365 days a year. on and off campus 37

Awards and Honors Faculty Achievements Three undergraduate faculty members have won National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends Awards of $6,000 to support their scholarly humanities book projects: John Burns, visiting associate professor of Spanish, for his translation of Ave Soul by Peruvian poet Jorge Pimentel; Peter Filkins, visiting professor of literature and professor of creative writing and literature at Bard College at Simon’s Rock, for the publication of a translation with introduction and annotations of Das Buch gegen den Tod (The Book Against Death) by the Bulgarian Nobel Prize–winning author Elias Canetti; and Gregory Duff Morton, assistant professor of anthropology, for a book chapter, “Return from the World: Stories of Leaving Economic Growth Behind in Northeastern Brazil,” which focuses on why migrant laborers in northeast Brazil choose to leave their higher-paying urban jobs and return to their rural homes. Bard College Distinguished Professor of Literature Nuruddin Farah is among the 276 artists, scholars, scientists, and leaders in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors who have been elected this year as members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the world’s most prestigious honorary societies.

Three Bard MFA faculty have won Guggenheim Fellowships: Sky Hopinka, a Ho-Chunk Nation artist, was a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University (2018–19) and Sundance Art of Nonfiction Fellow (2019) . He debuted his first feature-length film, maɬni—towards the ocean, towards the shore, at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. A. L. Steiner uses photography, video, installation, collage, collaboration, performance, writing, and curatorial work as “seductive tropes channeled through the sensibility of a skeptical queer ecofeminist androgyne.” Her work is in permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Marieluise Hessel Collection of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Hammer Museum, and Museum of Modern Art. Abstract painter Patricia Treib has participated in residencies at the American Academy in Rome (2017), Dora Maar House (2014), and MacDowell Colony (2013), and is a recipient of the 2017 Artadia Award. The Mind Science Foundation awarded Justin Hulbert, assistant professor of psychology, and Mike Greenberg ’20, undergraduate lab manager of Bard’s Memory Dynamics Lab, a grant of $15,000 to support the lab’s proposed research project Mindfulness over matters: Harnessing the dynamics of the heart to facilitate conscious control, which explores “hacking” the brain using mindfulness meditation to strengthen self-control and autonomy. Laurie Husted, Bard’s chief sustainability officer, won a $5,000 Climate Solutions Acceleration Fund award from Second Nature. The fund supports the scaling of climate action acceleration activities of colleges and universities. Husted’s project aims to map the ecosystem of refrigerant management in Ulster and Dutchess counties and create an intervention to address the continued release of household appliance refrigerants—greenhouse gases that are up to 2,000 times more potent than CO2—into the atmosphere. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Felicia Keesing, Bard College’s David and Rosalie Rose Distinguished Professor of Science, Mathematics, and Computing, a $241,000 grant for a project to write two papers that—drawing on Keesing’s 25 years of research into linkages between ecology, conservation, and health— aim to provide better conceptual frameworks for the study of the impact of biodiversity on plant, animal, and human health. The NSF grant includes funding for travel to conferences and salaries for several undergraduate research assistants over a two-year period. Keesing, Matthew Junge, assistant professor of mathematics, and Nicole Eikmeier, assistant professor of computer science at Grinnell College, received a $60,000 NSF Rapid Response Research Program grant to develop network models that, by more accurately incorporating social distancing measures, better capture the geographic and social complexity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadie Samuelson Levy Professor in Languages and Literature Valeria Luiselli was awarded a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship in fic38 on and off campus

tion from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Appointed on the basis of prior achievement and exceptional promise, the 175 successful fellowship candidates were chosen from a group of almost 3,000 applicants. Luiselli also won a 2020 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Literature, which comes with a $50,000 cash award and supports emerging to midcareer immigrant artists and scientists who have demonstrated exceptional achievements early in their careers. Levy Economics Institute Research Scholar Thomas Masterson won the Journal of Economic Issues’ 2019 Editor’s Prize for his article “The Great Recession and Racial Inequality: Evidence from Measures of Economic Wellbeing.” The article was coauthored with Levy Senior Research Scholar Ajit Zacharias, Research Scholar Fernando Rios-Avila, and Research Associate Edward N. Wolff. Kelly Reichardt, S. William Senfeld Artist in Residence, was awarded a $50,000 Film Independent Spirit Awards Filmmaker Grant, which recognizes a midcareer female director. Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins, assistant professor of anthropology, has been awarded the Albert Hourani Book Award from the Middle East Studies Association for her book Waste Siege: The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine. Asher B. Edelman Professor in the Arts Joan Tower was named 2020 Composer of the Year by Musical America.

Bard’s Literary Magazine Wins Prize Conjunctions, published by Bard College, has been awarded a 2020 Whiting Literary Magazine Prize in the “smaller print magazine” category. The prize, an outright grant of $10,000 in 2021 and an additional matching grant of up to $10,000 per year for the following two years, “acknowledges, rewards, and encourages organizations that actively nurture the writers who tell us, through their art, what is important.” For almost four decades, Conjunctions, edited by Professor of Literature Bradford Morrow, has published groundbreaking fiction, poetry, plays, and creative nonfiction that marry visionary imagination with formally innovative execution. Each issue illuminates a complex theme—such as exile, desire, the body, or climate change—in a book-length format that gives space to longform work and a multitude of perspectives.

Support for Community Conversations Bard received a $5,000 grant from New York Humanities to support the development and presentation of 12 community conversations in Kingston, New York, on issues of local and national importance.

Higher Education Opportunity Program Receives Award A $1,260,000 grant was awarded to Bard College to sustain and grow the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP). This award will increase enrollment and provide greater support for our HEOP scholars.

Funding for Runoff Research Bard was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Dextra Baldwin McGonagle Foundation for research being conducted by the Center for the Study of Land, Air, and Water.

Support for Bard Early Colleges The France-Merrick Foundation of Baltimore awarded $120,000 to fund new initiatives in support of students achieving the AA degree at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) Baltimore. After a successful planning grant, the Teagle Foundation awarded $200,000 to support the development of new courses and faculty-led partnerships across the Bard Early College Network.

Funding for Scholarships The Shelby and Gale Davis Charitable Fund awarded Bard $50,000 to support Davis United World College Scholarship students in Annandale-on-Hudson.

This program is committed to building cross-cultural understanding across campuses in the United States and ultimately throughout the world.

(Awards and Honors continued) Open Society Foundations Support for CCE The Open Society Foundations (OSF) recently announced $100 million in funding—$10 million a year for 10 years—to strengthen and expand Bard’s Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), which supports, coordinates, and promotes a wide array of student and institutional initiatives. “The Open Society Foundations have partnered with Bard College for nearly three decades to make higher education more inclusive and accessible,” says Patrick Gaspard, president of OSF. “At a time when democracies and the right to free expression are under threat— and every institution of higher education is facing enormous challenges due to the COVID-19 and economic crises—we need to invest in teaching and education that advance the values of an open society.”

Funding for the Bard Prison Initiative Art for Justice made a renewal grant of $162,400 for communication strategies around the broadcast of the documentary film College Behind Bars (see Bardian, Winter 2019) . The Zegar Family Foundation also renewed its support of $50,000 for reentry initiatives through the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI), which now serves more than 600 alumni/ae who have returned home. The Sills Family Foundation has provided inaugural support of $25,000 for BPI’s general operations, including the core college program across six New York State prisons, the reentry program, national engagement, and the Bard Microcolleges, which increase college access to people who have been persistently underrepresented in higher education. A $268,500 award from the New York City Council’s discretionary fund through the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice supports reentry planning for alumni/ae.

Opera is Dead, Long Live Opera This spring, VAP and The Orchestra Now (TŌN) presented Rest in Pieces: In Memory of Opera, conceived and directed by VAP artistic director Stephanie Blythe with John Jarboe and conducted by James Bagwell, director of music performance studies and professor of music. Celebrating the tribulations, glories, and loves of this tempestuous art form, this devised opera was performed and written by the artists of VAP and TŌN and showcased the impressive talent of Bard’s voice students. Rest in Pieces featured excerpts from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos, Bizet’s Carmen, Copland’s The Tender Land, and Puccini’s La Bohème. “When I came to Bard last year as the new artistic director of VAP, I decided that I would like to bring this idea of devised theater to our student opera,” writes Blythe. “I thought of several concepts around which we might construct a piece, but it wasn’t until I started talking about the project with John that we settled on an idea: to have our characters meeting up at a funeral—for opera. The idea that opera is dead is not a new one. And of course, opera is not dead. But what if opera decided to die metaphorically to itself, only to allow us to take what it has given us and to create something new?” Blythe and VAP’s 14 singers chose five operas and from those identified characters and arias that spoke to them regardless of gender or voice type. After an intensive three-day workshop with Jarboe, who used dramaturgical games with writing and acting improvisations to bring the singers together as a cohesive company, they created and wrote the dialogue for the two-act narrative.

“Their stories are our stories,” writes Blythe. “People driven by love, anger, fear, desire—longing to be the people that they want to be. Self-determined. Using the music that has become a part of our collective consciousness to tell those transformative stories.”

Bard SummerScape. Cox has been honored with a Lucrezia Bori Grant for foreign study, The Juilliard School Vocal Arts Honors Recital at Alice Tully Hall, and Campbell Watcher Memorial Award for singers from Santa Fe Opera.

Student and Alumni/ae Awards and Honors Bard College is a Fulbright top-producing institution, and this year Bard students have garnered the highest number of Fulbright Awards ever. Nine students have won prestigious Fulbright Awards (and another was named an alternate), which facilitate cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing the grantee to gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think. Samuel Abate ’20 won an English Teaching Assistant Award to Spain, where he will create a program called Read and Watch! exploring literature that has been developed into visual material, such as films. Kevin Barbosa ’18 won an Open Study/Research Award through Fulbright’s Binational Internship Program to Mexico, where he intends to create a bilingual, interviewstyle podcast series that will allow Mexicans to share their culture and histories on their own terms and illuminate the Mexican perspective on the debates around immigration we are having in the United States. “I believe that the greatest service I can provide as a cultural ambassador is listening to my host community,” says Barbosa. Michelle Jackson-Beckett PhD ’23, a student at the Bard Graduate Center, won an Open Study/Research Award to Austria to conduct research on Vienna’s Other Modernism: Design and Dwelling 1918–1968.

Jackson-Beckett has accepted a position as faculty in Design History and Theory at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and as archivist for the Victor Papanek Foundation and will forgo the Fulbright scholarship. Madison Emond ’18, a photography major, won an Open Study/Research Award to New Zealand, where she will pursue a photography project, Nature as Artist: Visualizing the Personhood of the New Zealand Landscape, which is an outgrowth of her Senior Project. “My photographic practice sets out to question traditional landscape imagery and how it affects the viewer’s relationship to the environment. Rather than making images of the landscape I make images with the landscape. What I mean is this: all my works are made through the interaction of photosensitive materials, the natural world, and moonlight—and nothing else,” says Emond, who chose New Zealand because it was one of the first nations to grant legal personhood to landforms. Amber Fowlie ’20 and Amber Junker ’20 won English Teaching Assistant Awards to Germany. Fowlie plans to volunteer in community language cafés, which foster cross-cultural dialogue. A trombone player, Junker will engage with music as the universal language to bring people from many different backgrounds together. Medora Jones ’18, who graduated from Simon’s Rock in 2016, has been named an alternate for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Morocco. Mitchell Levinson ’20 and Andres Meraz ’20 won English Teaching Assistant Awards to Russia. Levinson will organize weekly intercultural learning events to share traditions in holiday gatherings, food, music, and literature. Meraz plans to hold weekly book clubs that introduce American novels and short stories, connecting them to cooking and films.

Marlaina Yost ’20 won an English Teaching Assistant Award to Belgium, where she will screen films with different American dialects to expose viewers to the many unique regional cultural dynamics and traditions of the United States.

Sabrina Slipchenko ’20 and Hattie Wilder Karlstrom ’20 were awarded prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowships, which provide for a year of travel and exploration outside the United States. Each Watson Fellow receives a grant of $36,000 for 12 months of travel and independent study. Slipchenko, who graduated from Bard College Berlin (BCB) and is the first student from a Bard Network campus other than Annandale to win a Watson, will spend the year in Austria, Greece, Ukraine, Argentina, and Turkey, where she will explore intersections of queerness and Orthodoxy in Jewish social life and make a series of animated movies from her investigations. “As a queer person, the idea of God has been a refuge in uncomfortable times,” says Slipchenko. “I want to know that queer people can have meaningful spiritual lives. I want to recognize us as a constant part of religious society, to undo the ingrained hatred and supposed 42 on and off campus

impossibility of our existence. When I encounter the proof of our being, from the past to the present, I feel that we can claim a place in our spiritual communities again—because we’ve always been here.” Wilder Karlstrom will explore the ways that structured play, including but not limited to soccer and music, functions as a form of humanitarian aid, especially in refugee communities in Kenya, Greece, Germany, Canada, Chile, and Colombia. “In a world full of division, constructed and natural, it is easy to remain in our comfort zones, keeping the ‘us’ in, and the ‘others’ out,” says Wilder Karlstrom, who majored in history with a concentration in Latin American and Iberian Studies. “My project looks to understand the impact of borders, break down boundaries through structured play, and in a time of rising fascism and nationalism, begin to ask the question of what borderlessness and welcoming could mean for the world.” Art history major Tatiana Alfaro ’21 and biology major Mary Reid ’21 won highly compet-

Levy Economists Respond to Pandemic Scholars of the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College are sharing their in-depth analysis and nonpartisan policy recommendations on the economic fallout of the COVID-19 crisis with the world through international news media outlets and the institute’s blog, Multiplier Effect (multiplier-effect.org). On one Multiplier Effect post, Levy Research Scholar and Bard Associate Professor of Economics Pavlina Tcherneva, whose book The Case for a Job Guarantee was published in July, considers how nationalizing payroll, similar to the policy employed in Denmark, might play out in the United States. “It is easier to keep people in their jobs than to create jobs once layoffs have occurred,” writes Tcherneva. “Worse, unemployment has a terrible way of self-perpetuating and inflicting enormous costs on society. On the heels of this epidemic will come another—of mass defaults, bankruptcies, and deaths of despair. We no doubt have the tools to tackle a deep downturn. We have done it before. Taking inspiration from FDR, we can deploy large-scale public investment and public employment programs to lead the recovery. And we may well have to do that anyway. But the task ahead would be far easier if we could protect payrolls at all possible cost.” In two op-eds for the financial website MarketWatch, Tcherneva calls for an “aggressive public-health-services mobilization and an economic stabilization package” as well as a wartime-like mobilization of resources, including a federal job guarantee, to ensure that the coronavirus pandemic does not lead to decades of elevated unemployment. Tcherneva concludes that, “Only big government, big public investments, and big public-employment programs will ensure a quick bounce back, rather than another protracted jobless recovery.”

Citing Levy Research Scholar Michalis Nikiforos’s observation that “the record-high stock prices the president routinely touted became disconnected from companies’ underlying value,” a Washington Post article by David J. Lynch shows how “the pandemic exposed vulnerabilities that had accumulated during a record-long expansion and years of ultralow interest rates—and which now could make it harder to recover from a recession.” In his study, Nikiforos writes that the work of the late financial economist and Levy Institute distinguished scholar Hyman P. Minsky, particularly his emphasis on the cumulative and circular causation between current flows and outstanding stocks, is crucial to fully appreciating the economic consequences of the pandemic. “A central proposition of Minskyan analysis is that the underlying conditions in the capitalist economy can best be understood from the fact that production and investment are financed by borrowing,” Nikiforos writes. “The pandemic is thus important not only for its direct impact on supply and demand but because of the effect of this shock on the ability of economic agents—households and firms—to finance a sustained level of production, expenditure, and employment.” Exploring policy implications, Nikiforos argues that a strong public intervention is needed through effective monetary policy, such as the recently announced commercial paper funding facility, to avoid a collapse of the banks and the financial system, and through fiscal policy to boost demand. He recommends that a large share of this spending increase be directed toward providing access to healthcare for all in need, guaranteeing paid sick leave, and supporting employment, household income, and firms that face the risk of extinction.

In an April op-ed for The Guardian, Levy Senior Scholar and Bard Professor of Economics L. Randall Wray and Associate Professor of Economics at Franklin & Marshall College Yeva Nersisyan tackle head-on several misconceptions

about Modern Money Theory (MMT), a topic that has recently reached the mainstream media but that Wray has been studying for more than 20 years.

MMT, they write, “is not a prescription, but merely a description of what actually happens,” and the current crisis “has clearly demonstrated what should have been obvious already: provisioning society . . . is not a financial issue.” They suggest we can mobilize our resources in a manner similar to our response to World War II, with the hope that “the coronavirus crisis will not be as destructive as the Great Depression, but if there is one thing it should destroy, it’s the myth of the deficit.” A New York Times article by Matt Phillips examines how MMT has recently been finding broader and more unlikely adherents on Wall Street and quotes Wray, who says, “MMT has been invoked so many times by completely mainstream people and politicians. Even Trump used almost word for word what we’ve been saying all along.” (“You never have to default because you print the money,” Trump said in 2016.) In a Multiplier Effect post, Wray and Nersisyan write, “Unemployment is evidence that the country is living below its means. A country lives beyond its means only when it goes beyond full employment, when more government spending competes for resources already in use. Full employment means that the nation is living up to its means. The most important lesson we must learn from this crisis is that the ability of the government to run deficits is not limited to times of crisis. Indeed, it was a policy error to keep the economy below full employment before this crisis hit in the belief that government spending was limited by financial constraints. Ironically, the real limits faced by government before the pandemic hit were far less constraining than the limits faced after the virus had brought a huge part of our productive capacity to a halt! We hope the coronavirus will teach us that in normal times we must build up our supplies, infrastructure, and institutions to be able to deal with crises, whatever form they may take.”

In “Pandemic of Inequality” (levyinstitute.org/publications/pandemic-ofinequality), Levy’s Public Policy Brief No. 149, authors Luiza Nassif-Pires, Laura de Lima Xavier, Thomas Masterson, Nikiforos, and Fernando Rios-Avila demonstrate how the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic—both the health risks and economic burdens—will be borne disproportionately by the most vulnerable segments of U.S. society. The crisis is likely to widen already worrisome levels of income, racial, and gender inequality in the United States. The authors argue that our policy response to the COVID-19 crisis must target these unequally shared burdens, and that a failure to mitigate the regressive impact of the crisis will not only be unjust but will prolong the pandemic and undermine any ensuing economic recovery efforts.

Erica Mateo ’11: Organizing Communities, Building Justice Erica Mateo ’11 was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that, according to a report released by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Bureau of Vital Statistics in 2019, has the lowest life expectancies, highest infant mortality rates, and most murder- and drug-related deaths of any neighborhood in the city. “I started my work in Brownsville,” says Mateo, who was introduced to the Brownsville Partnership through a Bard connection and, after completing a summer internship there, was offered a job, which the nonprofit held until she graduated. “If you do an internet search for Brownsville you’ll find stories about its high crime rates, but we told a different story.”

Now working for the Center for Court Innovation at its neighborhood operating project, the Brownsville Community Justice Center, Mateo and her team convene community stakeholders to harness their collective power to advance the health, safety, and prosperity of the neighborhood. “We work to uplift a positive community narrative,” she says.

In 2012, Mateo joined the Center for Court Innovation, a justice reform organization that works closely with city courts, police, district attorneys, and other agencies, where she has been director of community-based initiatives since 2014. Her first organizing project was to build out the center’s community programs at the newly launched Brownsville Community Justice Center, an initiative seeking to prevent crime and offer meaningful alternatives to crime and incarceration Erica Mateo ’11 by investing in local youth and improving the physical landscape of the neighborhood. “We started with about five staff and a small grant,” she says. “Over the years, we’ve been able to grow that center into a multimillion-dollar project with 30 people on staff.” Mateo spearheaded projects that worked with residents to reimagine public spaces in ways that promote positive activities, increase safety, and support community building. She oversaw the revitalization of a distressed section of Brownsville’s Belmont Avenue and the development of a small pedestrian plaza in a formerly dilapidated shopping corridor that has become an award-winning space for block parties, festivals, and street markets. She also worked with local youth to create an outdoor community clubhouse on a vacant lot and was on the community advisory board of (and still partners with) the Brownsville Community Culinary Center, cofounded by Lucas Denton ’12.

Raised by her grandmother, Mateo dropped out of school in the eighth grade and discovered the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) while she was incarcerated in the now-closed Bayview Correctional Facility in Manhattan. She eventually matriculated into Bard College as an anthropology major, spent three years on campus living in Tewksbury, and graduated in 2011. “Bard makes you feel that your ideas are important,” says Mateo. “My adviser, Laura Kunreuther [associate professor of anthropology], and her husband, Daniel Karpowitz [former BPI director of policy and academics], made me feel empowered and challenged me. They took my thinking very seriously and did not let me get away with simple ideas. Their level of care and their strategies for supporting student devel46 on and off campus

opment were amazing. I remember feeling well prepared for the world after Bard. My Senior Project pushed me to write more than I had before. It sharpened my critical and analytical skill sets. Now, in real life, writing 10 to 15 major grant applications for my work is a breeze.”

In her current role at the Center for Court Innovation, Mateo engages 15 New York City housing projects, across all five boroughs, that produce 25 percent of violent crime in the city. She supervises a team of 25 organizers who work in the projects to train about 300 residents in building coalitions and cocreating programs that increase safety. “I’ve been working in crime prevention and response to crime or healing after community trauma,” says Mateo. “I manage organizers who do the work on the ground. They build resident networks to identify quality of life and creative place-making projects, or social programs that may look like a summit on safety, or a youth program that provides handson mentorship. They work really hard to engage their neighbors and take whatever resources we can offer to support resident-driven initiatives.”

Mateo supervises several such projects, does a lot of grant writing, and supports a growing network of community organizers. “For someone like me, who has worked for the past decade as an on-the-ground organizer in these neighborhoods, it’s important to refuel myself and remember why I do the work by going to resident meetings or helping to serve food at an event,” she says. “As an organizer, it can be annoying for your supervisor to be on the ground with you. So I keep it low-key and just go out there to connect. I still have my own little group of people I worked with in Brownsville, for example.”

The preservation of public housing is Mateo’s key mission. That requires thinking through what just social housing could look like and how the city can support it. “My work is an active pursuit of dismantling systems that are inequitable,” she explains. “I would say to people who are in the position to make charitable donations, put money directly in hands of resident leaders and grassroots organizers. We need to make sure we are investing in a process where residents can be creative and identify what is really important to them.

We must trust the process and not try to control what the outcome might be.

Top-down approaches rarely achieve the positive outcomes we are looking for.

We need to actually empower community members.”

Mateo admits that her work can leave her exhausted, but the positive outcomes she’s witnessed keep her going. “I’ve been involved in entrepreneurship programs that funded and legitimized small business people,” she says. “A grant helped one resident who was baking cakes out of her apartment to move into a commercial kitchen. Another launched a coding project where young people created a website in Harlem to learn about local opportunities and resources.

Another created a music mentorship program for young people who were victims of violence to pair with a mentor and make music together. They recorded an album and learned some of the technical aspects of music, like how to use sound-mixing equipment to create their own songs and beats.” Mateo’s own story speaks to the value of empowering the disenfranchised. She is grateful for her Bard education and remains connected to the College and BPI, volunteering at events and supporting the work that influenced her life’s trajectory.

BPI Alumni/ae Visit Montgomery, Alabama A group of 23 Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) alumni/ae and staff visited Montgomery, Alabama, to experience firsthand the city’s Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) sites: the Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice.

With support from an anonymous donor, this trip created the opportunity for BPI alumni/ae to connect their personal experiences with the historical arc of systemic and institutionalized state violence that runs from slavery and Jim Crow to mass incarceration. In addition to the EJI spaces, the group explored the city’s historic downtown, famously known as both an epicenter of the civil rights movement and the “cradle of the Confederacy.” The trip’s participants learned about the indigenous Alabama tribes who first lived on the land that is now Montgomery; the city’s legacy of slave-owning and -trading; and its role as the founding capital of the Confederacy and a center of Jim Crow violence, the home of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the struggle for civil rights. Myra Armstead, vice president for academic inclusive excellence, Lyford Paterson Edwards and Helen Gray Edwards Professor of Historical Studies, and longtime BPI faculty member, was one of the trip’s facilitators. The group engaged in personal and meaningful conversations about the area’s history, its national significance, and its lasting influence.

The shared experience gave BPI staff and alumni alike a deeply renewed sense of commitment to equitable access to education, fighting for racial justice, and ending mass incarceration.

Based on the trip’s resounding success, the hope is to continue to do them in the future. The distinctive combination of a Bard education and an experience of incarceration informs the civic, professional, and community roles of BPI alumni/ae. Those who went on the Montgomery trip, as well as those planning to join future trips, work and volunteer in community-based organizations, advocacy groups, or in direct service and management roles at nonprofit and government agencies. Never absent from the BPI community’s mind and work are the legacy of American slavery and resistance to slavery, the civil rights movement, and ongoing social justice movements. This trip powerfully underscored the value of lifelong learning, the impact of a liberal arts education, and the connectedness of the entire Bard College community as a force for shaping a collective future that is rooted in justice and equity.

Poll Dance In 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2012 Bard was part of legal actions to try to counter voter suppression. This year, the Center for Civic Engagement group Election@Bard, Andrew Goodman Foundation, President Leon Botstein, and other school officials petitioned the Dutchess County Board of Elections (BOE) to allow a polling location on campus instead of or in addition to the one at the Episcopal Church in Barrytown. The petition—and Adrian Costa ’21, Sadia Saba ’21, and Sarah deVeer ’17 in a virtual meeting with the Red Hook Town Council— argued that the church is inadequate to the needs of the community; unsafe, both because of its location on a rural road and its small size, which makes social distancing impossible; not accessible by public transportation; and inaccessible to disabled voters. Much of this has been laid out before. In 2016, the Town of Red Hook passed a resolution asking for the polling site to be moved to the Bard campus. And Democratic Elections Commissioner Elizabeth Soto wrote a letter of support for the most recent proposal. So, what’s the problem?

In a word, politics. Republican Elections Commissioner Erik Haight has continued the decades-long tradition of erecting barriers meant to keep students (and faculty, particularly those with foreign sounding names) from voting. On October 14, New York State Supreme Court Judge Maria Rosa denied this year’s petition. Rosa recognized that Bard can provide a better and safer polling site, but found that safety considerations were not sufficient to overrule an administrative decision. She noted that, among other things, there would not be enough time for the BOE to adequately inform voters of a location change.

However, the following day the BOE chose to move two polling locations in Red Hook . . . for safety reasons. One has to admire the transparency of the hypocrisy. An appeal was immediately filed, pointing out the “brazen and contradictory actions of the BOE and Commissioner Haight.” Judge Rosa quickly agreed, allowing the establishment of a poll location in the Bertelsmann Campus Center, writing, “The basis for this court’s decision and order has now been eliminated since the primary factor identified by Commissioner Haight and relied upon by this court was simply untrue.” That didn’t stop Haight from doubling down and assaulting language and logic in the manner of autocrats everywhere. In an emailed statement he wrote, “Bard’s plan is quite obvious.

Get the court to move the poll site on campus and then close it to the public under the guise of the pandemic so only students can vote.” He then filed a further appeal, but the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court encouraged the two sides to reach a compromise, which was consistent with Bard’s original request: two polling sites, one at the church and one at the Campus Center. At 6 a.m. on November 3, some 20 students, faculty, and staff lined up to vote. on and off campus 47

Abolition/Resistance: Works from the Sussman Rare Book Collection

Frontispiece image of Frederick Douglass from a rare edition of the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself, 1st English ed., third imp., 1846, one of three versions published by Frederick Douglass. From the Sussman Rare Book Collection, Stevenson Library.

Guided by his discerning collector’s eye and deep commitment to civil rights, attorney Alan Sussman amassed an unparalleled collection of works on, among other things, transatlantic slavery and the struggle against subjugation.

Sussman donated his rare and extraordinary books to Bard in 2016, and on February 18 of this year Abolition/Resistance, an exhibition of selected works from the Sussman Rare Book Collection at Bard’s Stevenson Library, opened to the public. Curators Helene Tieger ’85 (college archivist), Debra Klein (assistant visual resources curator), and Kristin Waters ’73, used works ranging from treatises against slavery by Granville Sharpe, Olaudah Equiano, William Wilberforce, and Thomas Clarkson to those supporting the inferiority hypothesis by Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson Davis to show how the deepest story of colonial settlement—from Europe to Africa to the Americas—is resistance to racial oppression. Rare editions of self-emancipation narratives by Frederick Douglass, Charles Ball, and the vast enumerations of William Still, the “father of the Underground Railroad,” who sponsored Harriet Tubman and many others, provided an illustrated chronicle of the frontline of resistance to slavery. Rare works by Malcolm X, Eldridge Cleaver, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Amiri Baraka, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, and George Jackson revealed how the struggle for rights continued in the 20th century. Also represented in the exhibition was work by James Baldwin, who wrote, in Notes of a Native Son, “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” Aiming to entice the viewer both to explore the Sussman Collection through the Bard archives and to find parallel stories in contemporary form, such as in Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad, James McBride’s The Good Lord Bird, and Sue Monk Kidd’s The Invention of Wings, the exhibition displayed the history of love and pain that remains at the heart of America’s struggles today.

Gibney Dance

Race and Revolution at the Arendt Center

The Bard College Dance Program and Gibney, a New York City–based dance and social justice organization led by Founder, Artistic Director, and CEO Gina Gibney, began a new partnership in fall 2020. This is the fourth professional partnership launched by the Dance Program, beginning with the Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company in 2009. The new Bard-Gibney partnership provides unique opportunities for Bard students to work closely with Gibney’s resident dance troupe, Gibney Company, a commission-based repertory company that works with renowned and rising international choreographers representing a broad range of aesthetics and techniques. Each semester, artists selected by Gibney’s leadership will teach courses embedded in Bard’s dance curriculum, including studio courses for all levels of dancers and seminar courses that address discipline-specific topics such as dance writing as activism. A special feature of this partnership will be the opportunity to perform dance Senior Projects at Gibney Center in Manhattan during the spring semester. Gibney will also offer yearlong artistic advising of student choreographers.

Extracurricular workshops and master classes will further enhance the educational field of study. Gibney Company’s residency at the College will include open rehearsals and a public performance. Gibney Company Directors Amy Miller and Nigel Campbell, Bard faculty member and Partnership Coordinator Tara Lorenzen, and Director of Dance Maria Simpson spearhead the partnership, which represents a wide-ranging vision of what dance can be in a liberal arts curriculum at a time when artist engagement in local and global communities is essential.

The pandemic and accompanying economic crisis, which disproportionately impact Black Americans and people of color, have moved the Black Lives Matter movement into the mainstream. A revolution seems to be within reach, but it is also true that oppression is nuanced, malleable, and adaptive to its own survival. What does revolutionary change in response to police brutality and racism look like? Some argue for the full abolition of prisons and defunding the police.

Others worry such actions will alienate others or are not feasible. We need to ask: How far can we take the fight for Black lives and what, exactly, is the end goal of the movement? The Hannah Arendt Center has launched Race and Revolution: A Lecture Series to bring speakers and events to Bard—on Zoom— in an effort to broaden perspectives and challenge us all to think beyond our comfort zones on the questions of what a revolution in civil rights would and should mean today, and how best to work for its success. Among the speakers are choreographer and activist Bill T. Jones, whose company the Bard Dance Program partnered with from 2009 through 2015, with Hannah Arendt Center Executive Director Roger Berkowitz; artist, writer, and dj/musician Juliana Huxtable ’10 with Kimberly Foster, a writer, cultural critic, and founder and editor-in-chief of For Harriet, a multi-platform digital community for Black women; and multidisciplinary artist and curator Kenyon Victor Adams with Jacqui Lewis, senior minister of Middle Collegiate Church, a “multi-everything congregation” in the Manhattan’s East Village; among others.

Phuc Tran ’95: A Place to Ink Classical Studies major Phuc Tran ’95 thinks a lot about language. English has three grammatical moods: imperative (command), indicative (factual), and subjunctive (hypothetical, nonfactual) . Like many East Asian languages, Vietnamese lacks the subjunctive mood. Yet as a young Vietnamese refugee, the bilingual Tran spent much of his English-speaking life in the subjunctive mood. Tran’s family fled wartime Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) just before the Viet Cong takeover in 1975. He would ask himself, What would have happened to my family if we hadn’t left Saigon? What could I change my given name to?

These were states of mind that his native Vietnamese–speaking mother and father did not contemplate. “When I started formally studying classical languages like Greek and Latin at Bard, I began to look at how language works and how it expresses things,” he says. “Some languages have the ability to express things in the subjunctive and other languages do not. It’s a controversial topic, whether language actually impacts experience. It’s been a rich process to understand how language affected my own experience.” The way a language’s lens filters experience was the basis of Tran’s 2012 TEDx talk, which aired on NPR, got him national attention, and led to his recently published memoir, Sigh, Gone: A Misfit’s Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight to Fit In. Growing up in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Tran had no idea where he wanted to go to college. One day, someone at the local bookstore suggested he look into Bard College. “He asked me where I planned to go to college then told me that I should apply to Bard,” says Tran. “He said it was the perfect place for ‘punky intellectual kids like you.’” Tran sent away for information, and something about Bard’s motto—A Place to Think—drew him in. Tran applied, was accepted, and enrolled sight unseen. “I went to a very rigid public high school that seemed like it was run by the military,” he says. “Fate had a hand in getting me to Bard.”

Tran entered intending to double major in English and art; however, something was missing. When a third-year student in Kline started talking about the hardest class he’d ever taken, ancient Greek, Tran decided he wanted the same challenge. “It was total 18-year-old ὕβρις [hubris],” he laughs. “The class work almost killed me. I studied so much that I became nearsighted. But I loved it, and I really connected with the other classics students and the professors. I took Sanskrit the following year, then Latin, and German. The great irony is that I studied zero foreign languages in high school.” Tran intensely pursued the study of Greek, Latin, and German languages in his four years at Bard. “Classical Studies was a small department and the care, mentorship, and tutelage was amazing. I had incredible, intellectually rigorous relationships with my professors.” Those relationships also transcended the classroom. When Tran’s intramural floor hockey team didn’t have enough players, he asked his ancient Greek professor, Chris Callanan (now professor of classics at Bard College of Simon’s Rock), if he would join. “Our team won that year,” Tran recalls. “And that speaks to the deep relational experience at Bard. You have a brilliant professor who was willing to put on sweatpants and play floor hockey with you. All learning is relational and in relationship.”

After graduation, Tran went on to earn a master’s degree in Latin from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In 1997 he moved to New York City, where he began his career as a Latin teacher while apprenticing as a tattoo artist by night. “When I was at Bard, these traveling tattoo guys set up a makeshift tattoo shop in a dorm room in Robbins,” says Tran. “I went to check it out and got tattooed. I was totally hooked. We struck up a friendship and stayed in touch. I would travel to New York City to keep getting tattooed.” Tran’s tattoo artist encouraged

him to apply for an apprenticeship at his shop. “The Venn overlap between teaching Latin and tattooing is connecting with people,” he says. “It’s just two things I love to do. I connect with my students and I connect with my clients.

Both require high-level precision and attention to detail. If you believe in the right brain/left brain paradigm, both sides fire strongly for me. I need to fulfill both sides of that paradigm.”

Tran lives with his wife, Susan (Larsen) ’96, and their two children in Portland, Maine, where they opened a tattoo shop called Tsunami Tattoo.

(Follow @phucskywalker on Instagram to see samples of his work and more.) His memoir, published in April by Flatiron Books (an imprint of Macmillan), shares his story of growing up as a refugee in small-town Pennsylvania and how he made sense of that experience through books, punk rock, and skateboarding subculture. “My memoir is an invitation for people to share their stories as well as to bear witness to mine,” he says. “The hardest part of writing it was to revisit and exhume a lot of painful things so that I could find the emotional resonance of my story. I wanted to commit to being vulnerable during the writing process, which could be painful at times. The Latin root of the word vulnerable is ‘to be wounded.’” Whether piercing and dying the skin of his clients, deconstructing words and sentences, tearing down the carburetor of his beloved motorcycles, or exposing his inner life to the world, Tran embraces “wounds” in order to create something stronger and more beautiful. on and off campus 49

Creating Justice Nearly 20 years ago, Bard was the first U.S. institution to offer a full, freestanding, interdisciplinary BA in human rights. A new Master of Arts Program in Human Rights and the Arts, scheduled to begin in fall 2021, will link the study of advocacy, law, and politics to critical theoretical-historical reflection, and focus on the power of aesthetic, performative, and curatorial forms in the fight for truth and justice. The new program is supported by the Open Society University Network and will be led by Tania El Khoury, who has been appointed distinguished artist in residence of theater and performance, and Ziad AbuRish, who has been appointed visiting associate professor of human rights. The two were visiting faculty at the college in 2019 and will continue to teach in the undergraduate college.

Blithewood Garden Restoration Project Many of us have fond memories of the Blithewood Gardens, from reading under the gazebo to watching the sun set over the Catskills, graduation barbecues, and perhaps even a late-day dip in the fountain (don’t tell!). The pleasures taken by previous residents of the estate may have been less sybaritic and more aesthetic, but history tells us their joy was no less intense or long-lived. The gardens were originally designed by Andrew Jackson Downing, who is considered the father of landscape architecture, and noted architect A. J. Davis, along with Robert Donaldson, who bought the estate in 1835 (and brought the two designers together for the first of what would be many important collaborations). The walled garden we’re familiar with was created by Francis L. V. Hoppin around 1903 for Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie and his wife, Frances Hunter Zabriskie, who owned the estate from 1899 to 1951. Hoppin, who also designed The Mount, Edith Wharton’s summerhouse in Lenox, Massachusetts, made a strongly architectural garden that was one of the first to integrate the design of the landscape with the main house. It is one of the only complete Hudson River estate gardens from the early 20th century that remains intact. But time and the elements have taken their toll, and although the plantings are still magnificent, much of the garden’s infrastructure is deteriorating. The marble steps have shifted, there are frost cracks in the masonry and fountain, and the bases of the wooden columns of the pavilion are rotting. “Large sheets of the stucco façade broke away from the back columns of the pavilion, revealing severely deteriorated bricks with almost no mortar,” says Amy Parrella ’99, Bard’s director of grounds, horticulture, and arboretum. “These extremely compromised bricks are all that is supporting the structure’s impressive copper roof.”

To address these issues and preserve this historically important site, the Bard Landscape and Arboretum Program approached the Garden Conservancy, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and sharing outstanding America gardens, for assistance developing a strategy to address the rehabilitation of Blithewood Garden. Last year, Albany-based Lacey Thaler Reilly Wilson Architecture & Preservation was hired to develop repair strategies and create preconstruction drawings, which were used to get a preliminary estimate for the necessary work. A fundraising campaign has been launched to raise support for the rehabilitation of the garden, which has an estimated cost of more than $2 million dollars. An anonymous gift of $50,000 in honor of Bard trustee Elizabeth Ely ’65, who is a member of the Friends of Blithewood Garden team working on the rehabilitation of the garden, and her late husband, J. K. Greenburg, kicked off the effort.

BGC Broadens Diversity Bard Graduate Center (BGC) is devoted to the study of decorative arts, design history, and material culture, and to expanding understanding of the human experience by bridging the realms of things and the people who made them. Though the cultures and objects studied are as diverse as humanity, those doing the studying have not reflected that. Calls from alumni/ae sparked BGC to address the challenge of making change.

Four years ago, after reading about the Mellon Foundation’s efforts to widen the pipeline of historically underrepresented minorities going into art history graduate programs and the museum professions, BGC Dean Peter N. Miller saw an opportunity for progress. “I knew that the pipeline had to be a lot broader in high school and in college if there was going to be sufficient width at the graduate level,” Miller wrote in a June 24 email to BGC alumni/ae. “I felt strongly that we had to find a way to reach students in the public high schools before college. Since Bard has a network of high schools in New York City, it made sense to build on an existing relationship. We decided to create a program that would expose public school students to ‘museum studies’ early enough that it might affect their choice of college major and, even, professional orientation.” The Lab for Teen Thinkers launched in the summer of 2017 as a paid internship program in which students conducted object-centered research and presented their findings. To date the program has hosted 32 students, half of whom are people of color. This summer, the program had 24 students, of whom 14 are people of color, with a curriculum based around Seneca Village, a 19th-century settlement of mostly African American landowners that was forcibly dispersed to create Central Park. In spring of last year, BGC partnered with LaGuardia Community College and advanced a collaboration modeled on BGC’s Focus Projects, a twocourse sequence in which students do research on material evidence and then help develop exhibition materials. Roughly 30 LaGuardia students, more than half of whom are people of color, participated in this collaboration. A summer intensive in collaboration with the Alliance of Museums of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) will begin in summer 2021, and BGC will offer two pre-doctoral summer fellowships for HBCU students to do research in New York City, based at BGC. These initiatives, along with several others already in place and a few more that are in the works, are part of BGC’s Fields of the Future Institute, a new think tank that supports diversity and the development of next-generation scholarship in decorative arts, design history, and material culture.

Ready to Ware: Majolica Mania Majolica Mania: Transatlantic Pottery in England and the United States, 1850-1915, on view at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery in New York City from January 16, 2021 through May 16, 2021, is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of a significant 19th-century innovation in ceramics. Inspired by Italian Renaissance maiolica and French Palissy ware, “majolica” debuted at London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 and was an immediate sensation. This molded earthenware capitalized on new production techniques and brightly colored lead-based glazes. Tableware, decorative objects, and garden ornaments reflected 19th-century fashions and new culinary practices. Majolica became popular and accessible to all classes of society on both sides of the Atlantic and provided a compelling response to a highly debated topic of the time: what could and should good industrial design look like? Organized by Bard Graduate Center (BGC) and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, the show is curated by Susan Weber, founder and director of BGC, and Jo Briggs, Jennie Walters Delano Associate Curator of 18th- and 19th-Century Art at the Walters Art Museum.

Scher, honoree for Outstanding Patron, has lectured and published extensively on medieval and Renaissance art. He has organized exhibitions at the Frick Collection, National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), and National Galleries of Scotland. David Revere McFadden, honoree for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement, is chief curator emeritus at the Museum of Arts and Design. Before his retirement, McFadden was curator of decorative arts and assistant director for collections and research at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum from 1978 to 1995. In his distinguished career, he has organized more than 150 exhibitions on decorative arts, design, and craft. Sanchita Balachandran, honoree for Outstanding Mid-Career Scholar, is associate director of the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum and senior lecturer in the department of Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Trained as an objects conservator specializing in archaeological materials, she uncovers traces of past peoples and cultural practices on objects.

Kyla Bennett ’82: Using Science and the Law to Protect the Planet Kyla Bennett ’82 has devoted her life to studying and preserving the environment. As the New England director and director of science policy of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), Bennett fights for ethical management of our natural resources and accountability and transparency in government actions. “PEER is a small organization, but we are effective. We are nonpartisan and we support and defend—pro bono—local, state, and federal employees who come to us as whistleblowers on environmental issues,” she says. “Every time someone calls us, they are putting their career on their line.

Without a free press and without whistleblowers, we’d be doomed. The best-case scenario is for good people to keep working with government agencies. We try to get information out to the public without compromising people so that they can continue working another day.”

Recently, clients came to PEER with concerns about President Trump’s new rule that replaces the 2015 Waters of the United States regulation, essentially removing federal protections from millions of acres of wetlands and hundreds of thousands of the nation’s streams. New England PEER mobilized on behalf of more than 40 current or former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers scientists and career employees to request an investigation by the EPA’s inspector general. PEER’s clients claimed that political appointees had suppressed or dismissed scientific studies and opinions to push this new rule forward. Erik Kiviat ’76, executive director of Hudsonia, a nonadvocacy, public interest institute for research, education, and technical assistance in the environmental sciences, helped Bennett on the case.

“Erik took photos of wetlands that need protections for me and we submitted a signed Kyla Bennett ’82 Scientific Integrity Complaint that made it onto the front page of the Boston Globe,” says Bennett.

Prior to advocating on behalf of whistleblowers, Bennett worked for the EPA and became a whistleblower herself. After receiving her PhD in ecology from the University of Connecticut, Bennett went west to attend Lewis and Clark’s Northwestern School of Law, where she obtained a JD with a certificate in natural resources and environmental law. In 1989, her first job back east was in the Boston office of the EPA. There, she became the EPA’s Wetlands Enforcement Coordinator for New England. “I loved my boss and loved the prospect of saving wetlands and wildlife habitat,” says Bennett. “It was a nice career fit until a political appointee wanted me to change my scientific opinion over permitting for a proposed cargo port on Sears Island, a pristine island off the Maine coast. I refused and he took me off the case. The port development, which was backed by then Maine Senator George Mitchell, didn’t comply with

regulations and would have destroyed wetlands and habitat. I filed a complaint, and the EPA capitulated. We were successful in saving that piece of land, but I realized how difficult it was to work in the government.” Bennett left the EPA after 10 years of service and became deputy director of habitat for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, headquartered on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she worked for two years before taking on her current role at PEER. “I have always been an environmentalist, but my time at Bard made me a naturalist,” she says. Bennett remembers studying with Professor of Biology William Maple (now emeritus). “He was the most wonderful professor ever.

We had small classes, sometimes just three of us, and we were always in the woods. The first time I saw right whales was on a whale watch in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with him. We learned how to be naturalists, which was the biggest gift we could have received. Until you understand nature, you can’t appreciate it.”

Bennett earned a PhD in ecology from the University of Connecticut, and her doctorate dissertation was on the wild horses of Assateague Island, a 37-mile-long island along the coasts of Maryland and Virginia, where she spent several summers studying them. Halfway through her work, the National Park Service announced a plan to cull the herd indiscriminately. Bennett spoke out against it. “When you study an animal, you realize how sentient they are and can observe how they experience fear, pain, happiness, connections, emotions,” she says. Her activism got her into some trouble with the university; it felt that scientists should be impartial toward the animals they study. Nevertheless, Bennett fought to stop the cull and convinced the National Park Service to go in the direction of birth control. “I realized then that I didn’t just want to study animals, I wanted to fight for them, so I went to law school, which started me on my whole trajectory,” says Bennett.

She committed not only to saving the planet but also to saving the laws and government agencies that protect it. “Bard taught me how to think, giving me the knowledge and perspective to act and speak out when something is unjust. Since I left Bard, I’ve been fighting to make the world a more just place,” says Bennett. “The freedom Bard gives its science students teaches them how to understand all the possibilities. You learn to appreciate and understand the whole scope of what is out there, not just a narrow view.”

Bennett’s son, Eames, graduated from Bard in 2014 and is now working toward his PhD in nuclear physics from Texas A&M University. “That is the education Bard gave to me and to my son.” Her husband, with whom Bennett leads vernal pool walks, often says he wishes he had known about Bard when he was applying to college. “We took my son to so many schools for his college tour,” she says. “He’d just say, ‘No,’ until I took him to see Bard on a lark. He walked onto campus and said, ‘This is it.’ Bard is a fabulous place.”

Pieces by prominent Black composers were presented alongside a selection from the Bard Music Festival archives, together tracing the history of classical music from the late-18th century to the present and affirming the centrality of music to life and our public culture. (Go to fishercenter.bard.edu/upstreaming for archived concerts.) The 2020–21 season, also on Bard’s virtual stage, includes The Future is Present: A Casting the Vote Project, presented by the Bard Theater and Performance Program, in which Black and indigenous youth activists and art makers work in tandem with Bard students and adult movement leaders, artists, and researchers; As Far as Isolation Goes, a collaboration between Tania El Khoury, distinguished artist in residence, and musician and street artist Basel Zaraa, that explores the mental and physical health experiences of refugees; Past Present Future and Finally Unfinished, two new dance for camera works by Pam Tanowitz, the Fisher Center’s choreographer in residence; and Meshell Ndegeocello’s Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin, a “21st-century ritual tool kit for justice.”

Bard’s Fisher Center Zooms In Each year, Bard’s Theater and Performance Program in the Division of the Arts produces two major productions. For the spring 2020 semester, Bard invited Ashley Tata, a brilliant young opera and theater director, to stage Mad Forest, Caryl Churchill’s play about the chaos, paranoia, and optimism of the Romanian Revolution. Three weeks into rehearsal in March, as the coronavirus pandemic gripped the world, the Fisher Center understood that it would have to close its doors to on-site rehearsals and performances. Most students would be leaving campus, but Bard looked for ways to maintain student engagement and reward the massive amount of work that had gone into the project to that point. Artistic Director Gideon Lester asked Tata whether she could imagine some way to move the production online, perhaps performing it on Zoom. Tata seized the opportunity. The team met with the students before what was to be their final in-person rehearsal and talked with them about the new direction. Online rehearsals began the next day, as the students dispersed around the country. The Fisher Center engaged a video designer and a former student of his, a software coder recently authorized by Zoom to develop patches for the program. Together, in just a few days, they coded a special version of Zoom that allowed Tata to intercut shots and employ special effects as if live-editing a movie. Mad Forest explores fear and secrecy at a time of great danger—themes that found new urgency as the students sat in their bedrooms in isolation. Nicolae Ceauşescu, the Romanian dictator whose overthrow the play depicts, consolidated his power through Romanian state television, and the Zoom platform provided a new way to represent his use of technology. Churchill gave the adaption her blessing in an email to Tata and the students. More than 2,000 people tuned in to the first livestream performance on YouTube, Facebook, and the Fisher Center’s website. The esteemed Theatre for a New Audience, in Brooklyn, New York, invited the Theater and Performance Program to give three more live online performances, as a coproduction with the Fisher Center. New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley called the production “fervently inventive” and “deeply moving.”

The digital production of Mad Forest reimagined the profound possibilities of digital theater and was part of the Fisher Center’s larger effort to continue to engage artists and audiences during the pandemic. Its new virtual stage, Upstreaming, launched on the Fisher Center’s website on April 1 and features weekly releases of newly commissioned work and performances from its archives. Each week of digital programming highlights a different aspect of the breadth of material the Fisher Center offers: long-term relationships with artists across disciplines, commissioning new work that investigates the past to offer

Co-commissioned by Live Arts Bard, Chapter & Verse offers “gifts” from Ndegeocello and other collaborating artists—music, thoughts, meditations, and visual testimonies of resilience—inspired by Baldwin’s writing. His words are beyond timely; perhaps no author has written so movingly about the pain of living in a world of white supremacy and reimagined the world so daringly. Bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Ndegeocello, whose music incorporates a wide variety of influences from funk to soul, jazz, hip hop, reggae, and rock, has earned 10 career Grammy Award nominations, but she’s never done anything quite like this. In fact, nobody has. “This is my offering to you,” writes Ndegeocello. “This is a different experience so I hope you have an open mind or at least an open heart.” The project includes a phone number you can call (1-833-4-BALDWIN) to listen to “songs, meditations, and chants to ease your mind any time, day or night”; mesmerizing video art accompanied by words and music; a monthly broadsheet featuring Baldwin’s words and calls to action; and more. Contributors to the project also include director Charlotte Brathwaite, poet Staceyann Chin, artist Nicholas Galanin, and Paul Thompson ’93. Chapter & Verse brought to mind Notes of a Native Song, the Fisher Center’s 2016 SummerScape production in the Spiegeltent by Tony and Obie Award–winning playwright–singer songwriter Stew and his longtime collaborator, Heidi Rodewald. That show was also a mash-up of media—songs, speech, and visuals —incorporating a wide variety of musical genres. “Baldwin is like this tree with all these different fruits on it, and everyone grabs the fruit they want because he’s so amazing, prolific, and deep that everyone can find something in him,” Stew told the Los Angeles Times. The Fisher Center orchard continues to flourish, providing delicious and sustaining cultural nourishment to the community. on and off campus 55

Derision for the Sleeping What comes from your body is not sleep but a word that mocks the synonym.

What you want is the orb I am who waits upon you because it loves to wait. Warp of patience, shine of sleep sanding down sleep, how we hate each other. Richly, to exhaustion, I make the circle of eternity as the meanest joke a synonym for shape can know. Know your body mocked across the equator, a fraud’s girth—night reversed reserves daylight for the sleepless, for all that comes from your body, orb robbed of itself, eternity for those destitute of pleasure, reward of heaven rubbed down to the nerve.

Nearby, the prairie dogs dig so ardently in the soil (here I accidentally wrote “soul” for “soil”) that the ground becomes treacherous. Watch out that it doesn’t cave in beneath you, that you don’t twist your ankle.

The greater danger is from plague that resurges here almost every year.

They look benign, don’t they? Small, sociable, pervasive.

They will colonize anywhere, somehow thwarting barriers, eating all the vegetation until the surface of the ground looks scorched.

So the witness, the one who walks over and through, is not a ghost, but shoulders the burdens of the ghost. She can’t tell soil from soul. She walks agitatedly over the ground in estimation of where the solid is vacant, where it is crabbed with habitation, the danger of the unoccupied and its susceptibility to being taken over.

Soul Ajar Term interchangeable with departure: soul.

The holy ghost carried on a tail of green vapor.

Rain or mist leaving residue on the window: residue as mask. It discloses the face that covers the absence.

Soul: two spaces after the period that ends the sentence.

Fever that lays down in its heat.

Double spaced, Janus-faced.

Departure interchangeable with arrival.

Un (soul) invited guest.

An essay, a preexisting condition.

It sucks blood from its own paper cut.

A spirit amazed by its own quick aggregation: May 22 tops 95,000.

Soul sheds itself ghoul, phantom, specter.

The endless synonym contaminates its mask.

Soul: one who touches its face.

Apparition washing hands.

’59 Michael Zimmerman, 81, died on June 25, 2020. He is survived by his wife, Rae; children, Gabe and Alexa; and daughter-in-law, Vera. His lifelong friend George Rose ’63 sent us the following remembrance.

Mickey lived an exceptional life. He was gifted with a truly extraordinary intellect and a prodigious memory. I’ve known him for 61 years.

We met as undergraduates. In those days, the College had a few world-class professors, and they left a lasting imprint: Emil Hauser, the founder and first violin of the Budapest string quartet, who taught him musical phrasing, and Hsi-Huey Liang, who taught him how to think about history. At the time, Bard had one math professor; Mike knew more math than his teacher, which didn’t sit well with the teacher.

Along the way, Mike took a course in organic chemistry. I mention this because Mike, whose technique seemed sloppy, nevertheless got the best yields in the class. The TA was mystified and suspicious, but it was obvious: understanding the entire reaction pathway, Mike was slapdash where it didn’t matter and careful where it did. Indeed, he pretty much lived his life exactly that way.

After Bard, Mike was on a glide path to a PhD in math, first at Brown and then at Brandeis, where he worked with David Buchsbaum, who together with Maurice Auslander was developing homological algebra. Having finished ABD—all but dissertation—Mike left for New York City to teach math at City College. Then came a life-changing realization.

Mike drank in the world in great gulps. He wanted a full life, with time for his passions: music

False Alarm: The Truth About Political Mistruths in the Trump Era

by Ethan Porter ’07 and Thomas J. Wood Cambridge University Press Americans, the authors observe, are responsive to factual information, even when facts undercut claims made by their preferred party’s politicians. However, being more factually accurate does not generally change people’s political beliefs. While corrections do not eliminate false beliefs, they cut the share of inaccurate beliefs among subjects nearly in half.

The Typographic Imagination: Reading and Writing in Japan’s Age of Modern Print Media

and opera, cooking, literature, history, art, theater, tennis, running, chess, travel, and, of course, anything Rae was working on.

Self-knowledge is rare, especially among young men. But Mike was no ordinary young man.

He turned on a dime, taught himself computer programming, and took a job with the MTA. Fast forward a few years and he was now a vice-president at the Bank of New York (BNY). Had there been a prize at Bard for “person least likely to become VP of a bank,” Mike would have been a shoo-in. Later, he gravitated to other jobs involving financial risk analysis.

Let me now speak to Rae. Dearest Rae, as far as I know, you are the only woman Mike ever fell in love with. Let me now speak to Gabe and Alexa. In my field, there’s a scattering of first-rank minds like Mike’s. Sadly, it’s all too common for the children of such a parent to grow up disturbed, even broken.

Mike knew this and was determined not to let it happen to the two of you. Beneath that façade of seeming nonchalance, he watched you like a hawk, your fierce advocate if needed, but with a gentle hand on the tiller of parenthood otherwise. He listened to you intently and trusted your instincts.

Mike could see around corners. Early in life, he enjoyed watching football, but was well aware of the dangers (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) long before they were mainstream news. From a young age it was obvious that Gabe was going to be muscular and well-developed, the kind of kid football coaches want on the team. Accordingly, Mike didn’t want Gabe to develop an interest in football. And that was the end of watching football in the Zimmerman household. Instead Mike encouraged Gabe to take up opera singing. As a result, both Gabe and Alexa spent a number of their childhood years singing opera professionally in a children’s chorus.

Let me now speak to Vera. Mike welcomed you with open arms: your athletic prowess, your smarts, your stamina, your individuality. I knew so much about you before we ever met at the dinner table.

Let me now speak to Victoria and Elena. It turns out there’s a grandfather gene, and it’s repressed and silent until the first granddaughter is born. But after that, it’s derepressed and remains permanently on. I don’t think anything made Mike happier than singing to the two of you or introducing Vica to opera. Between them, there was real magic in the Magic Flute.

In so many ways, Mike was larger than life, securely held by life’s many narratives, and, as Rae so aptly put it: The Figurehead. Gabe summarized it iconically: “my dad knew everything about everything.” Even as we mourn his loss, we are comforted in knowing his transition from life to death

was abrupt, free of lingering pain, and while still singing to his granddaughters in full voice.

With apologies to W. H. Auden: Earth, receive an honored guest; Michael Zimmerman is laid to rest.

by Juliana Spahr ’88 Harvard University Press A 1956 telegram from W. E. B.

MARGARET AND JOHN BARD SOCIETY It is a pleasure in this issue of the Bardian to highlight the generosity of Marella Consolini Rodewald ’82 and James Rodewald ’82.

Thank you Marella and James!

Our newest members of the Margaret and John Bard Society recently alerted me of their plans to include the College in their estate planning. By notifying the College of their intentions they help the administration better prepare for its future. Now more than ever, careful planning is crucial to sustain Bard’s unique education for future generations. Please read Marella and James’s story and consider joining the Margaret and John Bard Society. Future students in Annandale and around the world will thank you, as will those who will employ these creative thinkers and problem solvers to make sense of our future.

—Debra Pemstein, Vice President of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs We loved our undergraduate years at Bard, but it was neither nostalgia nor a sense of duty that inspired us to include the College in our estate planning. It’s been nearly 20 years since we first had our wills done, and a few years ago, after the birth of our awesome niece, we thought we should take another look at how we’d allocated our assets. Bard was in our first wills, and it remains there because we continue to believe in the mission. The College ceaselessly works to bring the liberal arts to underserved communities, and the commitment to the link between higher education and civic participation seems increasingly important.

In the process of updating our paperwork, we realized that we had never informed the College of our gift! We hope you’ll join us in adding Bard to your estate plans, and if you have already done so but not yet told the College, please let Debra know so that, along with other similarly minded alumni/ae, faculty, staff, and friends, you will be recognized as a member of the Margaret and John Bard Society.

—Marella Consolini Rodewald ’82 and James Rodewald ’82 For further information on the MJBS or any questions, please contact Debra Pemstein, vice president for development and alumni/ae affairs, at Pemstein@bard.edu or 845-758-7405. All inquires are confidential.
