Conserving Clothing, Preserving Memories
June 1 and June 8, 2022 at 6 pm
Bard Graduate Center Gallery

What is your most cherished piece of clothing? What stories does it hold, and how do you care for it? Artist and fashion scholar Kate Sekules leads a few lucky patrons through a process of storytelling and visible mending, giving new life to beloved garments in need of repair. This interactive experience brings the themes of Conserving Active Matter to a human scale through storytelling, demonstration, and dialogue with conservation specialists.

June 15 at 6 pm
Bard Graduate Center Gallery

Poet, author, and educator Anselm Berrigan has curated a reading list for Richard Tuttle: What Is the Object?, including poetry, prose, and cross-genre writing that meditates on our idiosyncratic experiences with objects. Join us for any (or all) of these reading group evenings, when we will engage with work by Renée Gladman, Francis Ponge, Clark Coolidge, and Tuttle himself, as well as read and listen to a selection of poems by artists that work in and from objects.

Film Night: Whale Rider and the Exhibition of Paikea
June 29 at 6 pm
Bard Graduate Center Gallery

As part of Conserving Active Matter, Bard Graduate Center will host the ancestral Māori figure of Paikea, visiting us from the American Museum of Natural History with the cooperation of his Te Aitanga a Hauiti relatives in New Zealand. In recognition of this honor, we will screen the 2002 film Whale Rider by Niki Caro (based on the novel by Witi Ihimaera), which tells a story of Paikea’s modern-day descendents. Dr. Wayne Ngata will provide a video introduction, connecting the figure to the film, and the past to the present.

Conserving Remains: A Conversation on Death, Preservation, and Exhibition
June 22 at 6 pm
Bard Graduate Center Gallery

How do we care for, preserve, present, and contextualize bones, remains, and mummified bodies? And why do we do it? Join us for a fascinating conversation that explores the scientific, ethical, and curatorial aspects of working with human and animal remains in collections and exhibitions. Moderated by BGC graduate student Ellen Enderle and featuring a panel of experts including conservator Lisa Bruno, Professor Samuel J. Redman, and Conserving Active Matter curator Soon Kai Poh who will also share details about three objects in the exhibition related to this topic.
