“Staging takes the form of seven successive micro-exhibitions from November 2015 to June 2016, each presenting a project by a single artist developed with a curator from the Class of 2016 at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College (CCS Bard). A square white platform in the center of the ISCP first floor project space orients each artist’s contribution to the program. This structure stages the individual exhibitions in space, establishing an environment to work within and around, which activates the room itself. Presentations of work by both ISCP residents and New York City-based artists, which can include commissions, previously existing work, or some combination therein, will occupy the space with a new exhibition each month.
Organized by Benjamin Austin, Christian Camacho-Light, Rosario Güiraldes, Emma James, Humberto Moro, Yanhan Peng and Rachael Rakes from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College.
