Collected exhibitions
The spring exhibitions at the Center for Curatorial Studies include ten exhibitions shown in two groups curated by second-year students in the Center’s graduate program in curatorial studies and contemporary art. The students have organized these exhibitions as part of their final master’s degree thesis.
Included exhibitions
Looking Back
Curated by Lisa Hatchadoorian
Paintings and photographs by Jeannette Christensen, Julie Heffernan, Matts Leiderstam, and Cindy Sherman paraphrase old master paintings to investigate stereotypes and assumptions in portraiture.
Unraveling Desire
Curated by Gregory Sandoval
The works explore the interests that artists Richard Hawkins and Karen Kilimnik have in popular icons. Producing seemingly personal “takes” on the famous and beautiful, the artists suggest that their individual fascination is not unlike the public’s collective understanding of media subjects.
Sightings
Curated by Jeffrey Walkowiak
Sculpture, photographs, and a video by Tom Burr, D-L Alvarez, Dean Sameshima, and Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset that reveals the specialized languages of the different locations where anonymous sex occurs and contemporary art is exhibited.
Superflex in company - economic potentials
Curated by Teresa Williams
Visual presentations and public discussions continue an interdisciplinary collaboration between Superflex and Bard College students.
