Imponderable is an extensive research project, exhibition, film, and publication that investigates the personal collection of American artist Tony Oursler, a remarkable trove of more than 2,500 photographs, documents, publications, and unique objects, tracking a social, spiritual, and intellectual history of the paranormal dating back to the early 18th century.

The Hessel Museum of Art marks its 10th anniversary with a major exhibition curated by Lauren Cornell and Tom Eccles entitled Invisible Adversaries. The exhibition is inspired by the eponymous 1976 feature film by the radical Austrian artist VALIE EXPORT, and is built around its themes. The film presents a woman’s struggle to retain her sense of self against hostile alien forces that appear increasingly ubiquitous, colonizing the minds of all those around her. The exhibition includes more than 50 artists drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection, major installations, and new commissions.

Saxophonist and sound artist Matana Roberts has received a 2016 Doris Duke Artist Award, which carries an unrestricted grant of $275,000.

Tom Eccles, executive director of Bard's Center for Curatorial Studies, is one of five curators behind last week's prestigious Frieze New York art fair on Randall's Island.
