  <Description><![CDATA[The Early Gothic Hall at The Cloisters reopened in the Spring of 2006 after a five-year renovation. Completely refurbished 13th-century limestone windows and two dozen panels of newly conserved and reinstalled stained glass, primarily from the 13th- and 14th-centuries, are among the objects on view. Four recently acquired and exceptional examples of German stained glass from the late-13th century glazing program for the convent church in Altenberg-an-der-Lahn are reunited in this new installation. The renovation of the Early Gothic Hall also features construction of two new limestone apertures in an interior wall (for the display of grisaille glass windows) and new lighting. The display in this room constitutes the largest and most varied group of 13th- and 14th-century panels outside Europe. Also returned to view are more than a dozen important Gothic sculptures and paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection, including the lifesize Virgin from the choir screen of Strasbourg Cathedral (mid-13th century) and a recently acquired late 13th-century head also from the region of Strasbourg on the Upper Rhine. As a result of a new protective glazing program installed along the exterior wall, rare examples of Gothic stained glass are now illuminated by natural daylight, as they were originally meant to be seen.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Campin Room at The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, recently reopened to the public following an extensive renovation. The gallery houses Robert Campin’s Annunciation Triptych (known as the Merode Triptych), which has been one of the masterworks at The Cloisters for nearly half a century. The new installation highlights the phenomenon of late medieval private devotion. Two new wall cases allow the exhibition of devotional objects formerly seen in the Treasury, and two important 15th-century stained-glass panels—one representing Christ as the Man of Sorrows, the other the Virgin as the Mater Dolorosa—have been installed in the central windows. Acquired in 1998, these panels are on view at The Cloisters for the first time and contribute greatly to the private devotional theme. New, more discreet lighting has been installed and the gallery walls have been re-plastered to match the original color. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Shifting Communities highlights dynamic initiatives in culture and the arts currently at work in the margins of the art world and American society. The goal of this project is to create a paradigm where community-centric contemporary art and artist think-tanks can be a tool for public service; a language for the exploration and investigation of the broader aspects of culture and society; and a magnet that can bring different cultures and ideologies together in order to strengthen a more inclusive definition of community.

O'Brien, and Felisia Tandiono (Works Progress Collective); Alexandra Woolsey-Puffer and Jeff Maki (Publicworks Office)

Shifting Communities operates multifold: as a roundtable brainstorming series for students, artists, and local residents; as a curatorial/exhibition initiative; and as Bronx-centric social sculpture.

Roundtable Brainstorming Series: An artist built installation in our exhibition facility will serve as the physical infrastructure for a series of roundtable discussions. Featuring the Bronx as a hub, the roundtable installation will host a yearlong series of discussions based on the changing socio-demographics, community development, and non-profit exhibition strategies (to name a few) across the boroughs of New York City. Each roundtable will feature a Bronx artist alongside an artist collective from outside the Bronx. In addition to the roundtable, the artists are charged with creating an exhibit of art inclusive of the discussion and informed by the Bronx community. The roundtable will also be made available to other artists and community members outside the program to schedule events and activities of their own.

Curatorial/Exhibition Initiative: This series was created in response to the current economic, environmental, and political stress across the country and the grassroots initiatives and local communities of artists that have spawned from it to create innovative and effective interpretations of development and progress. Through four separate exhibitions, this initiative changes the gallery from a space of passive art viewing into one of active art creating. The audience is as integral to the creation of the program as the artists. The artwork stems from discussion and consideration for the community it is created in.

Bronx-centric Social Sculpture: Taken as a whole, this program can be seen as one large artwork. The accumulation of sketches, notes, photographs, and other ephemera from the roundtable presentations, along with the artworks created and exhibited will be archived in a published catalog and video series of documentation and critical dialogue. As the series progresses, the roundtable installation will act as a visual timeline of the work and ideas presented culminating in an archive of the entire program at the close of our season.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones—a collaboration between the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and Stephen Jones, the world’s foremost hat designer—is at the Bard Graduate Center (BGC) in New York City from September 15, 2011 to April 15, 2012. It is the first venue in this country. The exhibition, which had over 100,000 visitors at the V&amp;A, displays more than 250 hats chosen with the expert eye of the master milliner.

On display are hats ranging from a twelfth-century Egyptian fez to a 1950s Balenciaga hat and couture creations by Jones and his contemporaries. To show the universal appeal of wearing hats, Jones has chosen a wide variety of styles such as motorcycle helmets, turbans, berets, and a child’s plastic tiara. There also are hats worn by celebrities such as Madonna, Brad Pitt and Keira Knightley. For the special exhibition at the BGC, the curators have arranged for loans particularly relevant to the United States, including Babe Ruth’s baseball cap, Mouseketeer ears, Estee Lauder’s turban, Halston bunny ears worn by Candace Bergen to Truman Capote’s Black &amp; White Ball, and the top hat worn by President Franklin Roosevelt to his fourth inauguration. There is also a display of work by contemporary New York milliners: Ellen Christine, Rod Keenan, Eugenia Kim, Lola, Jennifer Ouellette, Albertus Swanepoel, and Patricia Underwood.

Stephen Jones said: “I was honored when the V&amp;A asked me to curate an exhibition about hats. I had so much fun finding unique head decoration in the most interesting of places. This exhibition draws on millinery collections world-wide and is truly an eclectic and exciting anthology of hats from the last millennium to the present day.”

Stephen Jones spearheaded the fashionable revival of British millinery in the early 1980s. Using unusual materials and daring designs, his exquisitely crafted hats have pushed the boundaries of hat design forward for more than three decades. Jones has collaborated with many leading fashion designers including Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garçons, and Christian Dior. He has worked with many celebrity clients including Diana, Princess of Wales, Dita von Teese, Mick Jagger, and Rihanna, and has made hats for the films Atonement, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Coco avant Chanel, and W.E.

The exhibition is divided into several sections that reveal the practice of creating hats, how they are worn, by whom, and how they are presented to the client.

Inspiration, the first section, looks at how common themes such as exoticism, modernism, and the natural world have inspired countless designers. It shows historic and contemporary interpretations of hat types such as the tricorn, bowler, baseball cap, bonnet, skullcap, and many more.

Creation shows how hats are made and the traditions, innovations, and practices at the heart of millinery. This area is set up like a milliner’s workroom, with patterns, sketches, materials, and millinery blocks.

The Salon reflects the milliner’s public showcase, featuring spectacular hats that reveal the craft at its sartorial best. On display are designs by Philip Treacy, Bill Cunningham, Mr. John, Lily Daché, Mitza Bricard for Christian Dior, Misa Harada for Yohji Yamamoto, and Chanel.

In The Client, visitors can see hats worn by famous clients including Sarah Jessica Parker, Mick Jagger, Brad Pitt, Cecil Beaton, members of the British royal family, and avid collectors such as Isabella Blow and Italian Vogue’s Anna Piaggi. Also on display will be iconic headwear such as Marlene Dietrich’s beret and Andy Warhol’s wig.

The exhibition also features a selection of archive film footage plus a film showing a couture hat being made in Jones’ atelier.

The Book:
The book is by Stephen Jones and Oriole Cullen, curator of textiles and fashion at the V&amp;A. Published by V&amp;A Publishing, the book draws on Jones’ unparalleled body of work and the V&amp;A’s extensive collection of hats. Also featured are key pieces from international hat collections and design houses. Lawrence Mynott’s specially commissioned illustrations preface chapters that examine the milliner’s inspiration, the creation and process of making, how to buy a hat, and the etiquette of hat-wearing.

Group exhibition tours for adult and school groups are offered Tuesday through Friday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on Thursdays until 7 p.m. Reservations are required for all groups. To schedule a tour, please call 212-501-3013 or e-mail tours@bgc.bard.edu.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[September 2, 2011, marked the centennial of the birth of Romare Bearden, and the beginning of a year of international celebration of this significant and singular artist. In tribute to Bearden, who was deeply involved with the founding of The Studio Museum in Harlem, and whose work remains at the core of our collection, the Studio Museum is inviting one hundred artists to create new works of art inspired, influenced, or informed by the life, work, and legacy of one of the most important artists of the 20th Century. The Museum will share these works with the public through The Bearden Project, a dynamic exhibition initiative that will grow and change throughout the centennial year.

The Bearden Project will open to the public on November 10, 2011, but will evolve over the subsequent year as new work arrives at the Museum and works are rearranged in dialogue with Bearden’s work, each other, and concurrent exhibitions. In addition to the exhibition, the Museum will offer multiple ways for the public to engage with the art and artists participating in The Bearden Project. Building on its history of robust public programs, the Museum will celebrate The Bearden Project with the launch of a new and even more comprehensive event calendar featuring rare opportunities to experience performances, tours, artists’ talks and more with leading contemporary artists, noted scholars, and Museum curators Thelma Golden, Lauren Haynes, Naima Keith and Thomas J. Lax.

Additionally, in partnership with emerging New York design firm OCD, the Museum will create and ever-changing, interactive exhibition site spotlighting a rotating roster of participating artists as well as information about and a map of tri-state area museums displaying Bearden works in celebration of the centennial. The Studio Museum and OCD will also create a comprehensive publication reproducing each work in the project along with personal and intimate reflections from participants, a new essay by exhibition organizer and Studio Museum Assistant Curator Lauren Haynes and a foreword by director Thelma Golden.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Who, What, Wear: Selections from the Permanent Collection looks at evolutions in style—self-expression, fashion, artistic technique and societal ideals of beauty—as seen through the Studio Museum’s permanent collection. While artists including James VanDerZee (1886–1983) and Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) evoke the Harlem community as an influential and iconic arbiter of style, this exhibition is national and international in scope, surveying artists and subjects from places as varied as West Africa, the Caribbean and the American South. Including both posed portraits and candid scenes, the works on view emphasize how individuals choose to present themselves, rather than how others have represented them historically. Often these depictions oppose photographic conventions that have reiterated assumptions about what people are supposed to represent, rather than who they are as individuals. The figures on view here defy these practices, demonstrating a complex array of influences and references— hip-hop and pop music, new media and technology, African textiles, traditional dress, street style—that, taken together, refuse any singular “look” or aesthetic and mark culture and tradition as alive and constantly changing.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Collected. Ritual explores the performative and process-oriented aspects of making art and examines ritual as an act of special and sometimes mythical significance. The works in this exhibition were chosen for the innovative ways in which the artists engaged with ritual—including through studio art-making and artistic practices that use symbolic actions. This exhibition, organized by Assistant Curator Naima J. Keith, explores the relationship and nexus between art and ritual through twenty-five works of art from the permanent collection spanning the last thirty years.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Kira Lynn Harris reimagines The Block (1971), Romare Bearden’s iconic, six-panel, eighteen-foot-long collage depicting life in Harlem. Bearden’s “block” is occupied by a church, a grocery store, a barbershop, apartment buildings and the people of Harlem who inhabit those spaces. With The Block as a touchstone, Harris, whose interdisciplinary practice mixes video, photography, drawing, painting and site-specific installation, creates a scene of a contemporary, alternate, Harlem.

The Project Space is a dynamic location dedicated to site-specific works and projects at the Studio Museum. This facet of the Museum’s exhibition program continues our commitment to activating multiple architectural sites throughout the building—such as the lobby, atrium and façade—that provide artists with laboratories for innovative contemporary art projects.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Under the Influence: The Comics and Contemporary Art will examine the work of approximately 25 artists indebted to the style and energy of comics imagery. The comics connote humor with the term &quot;funnies&quot; suggesting a lighthearted sensibility and playfulness with irony and satire also a part of the territory. But the comics often explore a more complex side of human existence - for Freud humor was a path to the unconscious. The exhibition will feature a range of media. There will be an online catalogue.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In the fourth exhibition of the series, three collaborative projects The Work Office (TWO), Publicworks Office (PwO) and Works Progress Collective (WPC) present workworkwork, which examines various approaches to the idea of work and how it is defined and viewed. Creating sites of work in the gallery, workworkwork will investigate work as physical labor, work as symbolic labor, and work as work. The Work Office (TWO) will hire artists for a week and compensate them with Depression-era wages. Publicworks Office will publish a volume of analytical/speculative case studies and create an installation of symbolic objects &quot;re-collected&quot; from local communities of material and symbolic exchange. Work Progress Collective will conduct surveys and focus groups, creating generative inflows to the workworkwork process as well as a broader project archive.

  <Description><![CDATA[Elisa Contemporary Art presents My Hero, a new art exhibit focusing on Superheroes in today’s contemporary art. 

From the days of Greek and Roman Gods and Goddess through today’s X-Men, Dynamic Duos, Fantastic Four and many others, we are captivated by the Superhero (male and female). Is it their superhuman strength and power? Or their seeming selflessness to put the greater needs of others ahead of their own wants and desires? Or the fact that they may embody and magnify a single aspect of the human potential in each of us? They captivate, engage and inspire us in print, on the big screen, under the Broadway lights… and now in Contemporary Art.

In the latest Elisa Contemporary Art exhibit, we see the influences of Pop Art from the 1960’s and explore how five contemporary artists bring modern heroes to life in a whole new way. You’ll see Superheroes including Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain America and meet some new characters.

We’re featuring the undulating, architectural paintings of (New Orleans born and now California) Artist Don Morris whose series “Our Heroes” was inspired by the Pop Art of the 60’s. Using comic books as his medium, Don creates canvases which at a distant appear to be an interplay of colors and textures, but upon closer examination come to life with comic book superheroes who fly, struggle, and climb before us in small fragments and vignettes. Words bubble from the comic book text and are clearly visible throughout the pieces, so the viewer can read the stories of our action heroes.]]></Description>
