Hudson Valley Ramble - Montgomery Place - Evidence of Change: 1803 thru 2023

Walk/Hike

Sunday, September 17, 2023
10:30 am – 12 pm

Montgomery Place Estate
From farmland to pleasure ground, from national historic site to college campus, much has changed at Montgomery Place over its most recent 220 year history. We’ll walk the trails, meander through the meadows, and stroll the gardens while observing modernization’s impact on the land and water, and learning about the diverse peoples whose history here really goes back thousands of years. Enjoy a ramble through the remnants of a once romantic morning walk. Take in spectacular views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains while exploring the wilderness trails in the ravine formed by the Sawkill Creek. Historical highlights include cascading waterfalls and the hydropower station, the allée of the arboretum through the east lawn, the coach house, and the rough and formal gardens. Walk will be postponed until September 24 only if heavy rain is forecast.Sponsored by: Bard Arboretum.

For more information, call 845-758-7179, e-mail [email protected], or visit https://www.bard.edu/montgomeryplace/.

Experimental Cinema 1970-2000: James Benning

Thursday, September 21, 2023
7–8:45 pm

Jim Ottaway Jr. Film Center
James Benning, 11 x 14, 81 mins, 1977, 16mm

"James Benning has become famous for making movies which are at once exhibitions of landscapes or simply spaces and exhibitions of the guiding principles he entertained to structure his gaze – and accordingly the acousmatic space opened by this gaze. His method peaked with films like 13 LAKES or 10 SKIES. 11x14 is a reminder that the structural practice of Benning has a prehistory in his own work: The title refers to an American picture frame format, and therefore to the essential excerptedness of every image. But while Benning later on liked to highlight the frame by working with a fixed camera (and containing all the action within the potentially narrational space opened up in the image), in 11x14 he points towards the spaces between images – and even to the fantasies those images might trigger. Apparently random and meaningless scenes from the American midwest become parts of a possible story, which never actually comes around. The result is, as Benning claimed, practical theory, and at its best: 11x14 creates awareness of the ways movies are built, and it does so in brillantly intelligent and consequently often very funny way.

The Photography Program Presents: Wendy Ewald

Thursday, September 28, 2023
6–8 am

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
"For over forty years Wendy Ewald has collaborated on photography projects with children, families, women, workers, and teachers around the world. She’s developed collaborative frameworks for her practice that challenge the concept of individual authorship and casts into doubt an artist’s intentions, power, and identity. Her work may be understood as a kind of conceptual art focused on expanding the role of esthetic discourse in pedagogy and creating a new concept of imagery that challenges the viewer to see beneath the surface of these relationships."Sponsored by: Photography Program.

War, Exile, Memory, and the Art of Dance: George Balanchine’s 20th Century

A Discussion with Jennifer Homans

Friday, September 29, 2023
2–3 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Jennifer Homans talks about her recent book, Mr. B: George Balanchine's 20th Century. Balanchine’s life coincided with some of the biggest historical events of his time. Born in Russia under the last Czar, Balanchine experienced the upheavals of World War I, the Russian Revolution, exile, World War II, and the Cold War. A co-founder of the New York City Ballet in 1949, he pressed dance in America to the forefront of modernism and made it a popular art. None of this was easy, and we will talk about his loneliness and failures, his five marriages—all to dancers— and many loves, and the ways that loss and love shaped his art. We will also follow his bouts of ill health and spiritual crises, and learn of his profound musical skills and sensibility, and his immense determination to make some of the most glorious, strange, and beautiful dances ever to grace the modern stage. Homans will reflect on Balanchine's life and work, and also on the experience and paradoxes of writing a life. Mr. B:Sponsored by: Dance Program; Dean of the College.
