Why New Forms?
Why New Forms?, is a Curatorial Conference organized on the occasion of CCS Bard's 20th Anniversary year, taking place Friday, June 22 and Saturday, June 23, 2012, at the Bertelsmann Campus Center at Bard College. The Conference has been organized by CCS Bard alumni/ae Dan Byers, The Richard Armstrong Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, and Ruba Katrib, Curator of the SculptureCenter in New York City.
Throughout its 20-year-long history as a site of curatorial education, CCS Bard has encouraged its students and faculty to question the motives and avenues of curating exhibitions, events, programs, publications, and archives. Why New Forms? will address a selection of timely issues with the history of CCS Bard's curatorial education as a backdrop. Organized around specific exhibitions, publications, and organizations as models, the Conference brings together important recent projects that are grounded in the creative use or repurposing of existing structures and conventional idioms, yet still retain a productive or at least dynamic relationship to institutions.
Why New Forms? will include four panel discussions over the two days of the Conference, featuring a diverse range of important voices in contemporary curating, including CCS Bard alumni/ae.
