Almost There

Exhibition of works by Bard and Smolny students

OPEN STUDIO PRESENTS

ALMOST THERE


14 DECEMBER 2007        BARD COLLEGE




The works in this show express the ever-evolving nature of our collective methods of communication. Though the artists who have been chosen to participate in this show all have very different approaches and processes in their art making all the works have a pseudo-transparency, encouraging the viewer to question the nature of communication and how active dialogue is sustained.

Virtual Filmmaking: Landscape and Memory, a course taught this semester as part of the Bard-Smolny Virtual Campus, helped to establish a creative dialogue between students at both colleges through video, and allowed students to collaborate intellectually and artistically. In an effort to match works from the Virtual Campus project with conceptually similar works we sought out artists whose work spoke to themes relating to established relationships, unknown territories, and ambiguous results within the context of communication.  The show ultimately comes together as a celebration of the launch of a new website, Open Studio, which will act as a platform for exchange between Bard and Smolny artists.

Open Studio is a collaborative project between Bard and Smolny Colleges, made possible with a grant from the Mellon Foundation and Bard’s Institute for International Liberal Education. The intention is to link the artistic communities at either institution, giving participants the opportunity to enter into one another’s creative process. The project will take the form of a website (www.vcopenstudio.org) that will enable students to have an open dialogue surrounding their artistic practices and serve as a platform for information and resources for students.
