One of the most successful extracurricular research experiences for students at Bard is the Bard Summer Research Institute (BSRI), which supports campus-based projects in empirical/quantitative fields including biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, mathematics, physics, and psychology. Typically, students spend eight weeks in residence in June and July undertaking individual research projects designed and mentored by Bard faculty. We invite you to join the BSRI students as they present their research and engage in conversation about their experience.

Self-Guided Walkthrough of Current Exhibitions

4–5 pm

Dara Birnbaum: Reaction
The first retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States, this exhibition presents a wide and in-depth view of Birnbaum’s extraordinary practice, charting the indelible contributions she has made to the global histories of video, Conceptual, performance, and appropriation art. The exhibition’s title, Reaction, echoes Birnbaum’s career-long position toward mass media: across form and method, she has persistently elaborated a vision of art as an empowering force to disrupt quiet acquiescence to authority. Including works from 1975 to 2011, Reaction focuses on major installations, many not seen in the US for years, as well as key single-channel videos and archival materials that expand on her singular approach to art-making.

Martine Syms: Grio College
The heart of higher education is traditionally understood to beat through its curriculum: an immersive experience largely framed by courses, tied to a required number of credits, that crystallizes a student’s broader interests into a degree. Martine Syms’s Grio College, on the other hand, expands the notion of a “curriculum” into something far more manifold: a ceaseless and itinerant education that encompasses our whole intellectual life, one built from the theories, thinkers, culture, music, ideas, and teachers that influence us, formally and informally, over time. Grio College is the fictional school in Syms’s feature film The African Desperate (2022), in which an artist attends a heady and heated MFA program in a pastoral setting (much like Syms did herself). Lending this exhibition its title, Grio College here serves as the context for this staging of the artist’s work from the past five years (2017–2022), a prolific period of activity and development.

The Montgomery Place estate was owned by members of the Livingston family from 1802 until the 1980s. In 1986, Livingston heir John Dennis Delafield transferred the estate to Historic Hudson Valley in whose hands it remained until 2016, when Bard College acquired the property.

Cultivating ikebana means walking the meditative path (dao/do) to be in an intimate dialogue with the natural world: ka-do, the way of the flower. Ikebana teaches respect, the balance between control and letting go, the law of impermanence, and stresses the importance to see things as they are (thusness). Violetta White Delafield, former owner of Montgomery Place, was an award-winning practitioner of ikebana.

Eden Revisited is his first book to be published in English in over a decade. The conference brings together preeminent scholars of religion who will speak to the novel’s themes: Bruce Chilton ’71, director of Bard's Institute of Advanced Theology, which is copublishing the book with Natus Books, Alan Avery-Peck, Kraft-Hiatt Professor in Judaic Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, and Claudia Setzer, professor of religion at Manhattan College. Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, will introduce the panel. A discussion with audience members will follow the talks. Watch the book trailer here. This event will be livestreamed.

Land Acknowledgment for Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson

Developed in cooperation with the Stockbridge-Munsee Community

In the spirit of truth and equity, it is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are gathered on the sacred homelands of the Munsee and Muhheaconneok people, who are the original stewards of the land. Today, due to forced removal, the community resides in Northeast Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We honor and pay respect to their ancestors past and present, as well as to Future generations, and we recognize their continuing presence in their homelands. We understand that our acknowledgment requires those of us who are settlers to recognize our own place in and responsibilities toward addressing inequity, and that this ongoing and challenging work requires that we commit to real engagement with the Munsee and Mohican communities to build an inclusive and equitable space for all.
