This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory exhibition created by the Undocumented Migration Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on the social process of immigration and raises awareness through research, education, and outreach.The exhibit is composed of approximately 3,400 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert from the mid-1990s to 2020. These tags are geolocated on a large wall map of the Arizona-Mexico border, showing the exact locations where human remains were found. The physical act of writing out the names and information for the dead invites participants to reflect, witness and stand in solidarity with those who have lost their lives in search of a better one. This exhibit is taking place at over 120 institutions across 6 continents with the intention to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis at America’s southern border and to engage with communities around the world in conversations about migration.The construction of HT94 is made possible by teams of volunteers from each hosting location, who participate in tag-filling workshops, where they write the details of the dead and then publicly place the tags on the map – in the exact location where each individual's remains were found. Some tags also contain QR codes that link to content related to migrant stories and visuals connected to immigration.

Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

Do robots belong on stage? How do we perceive them as live characters inside a story? How might a robot endure the artistic rigor of developing a new play alongside live actors?Richard Maxwell will investigate the idea of robots as characters on stage as a means to explore empathy and how it is generated for characters in the minds of spectators. He will share his thoughts, experiments, and experiences working these crude machines into his productions. Maxwell’s work has disrupted, innovated, confounded, and been celebrated by many. His work has been described as a confluence of influences leaping out of epic theater, post-dramatic theater, and performance art while operating and vibrating within hyper-realist theater concerns. At its heart, the work is always a rupture.Maxwell is an artist and Hell's Kitchen, NY resident for the last 30 years. He has been the artistic director of New York City Players since its inception in 1999. He has received numerous awards and accolades including the Guggenheim Fellowship, The Doris Duke Performing Artist Award and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant. His work has been presented in more than 20 countries, has been commissioned by ICA London, Barbican Centre, Festival D’Automne, Kunsten Festival, Vienna Festival, and was included in both the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial. His latest book is a collected trilogy: Evening Plays (Theatre Communications Group, 2020). Other books include The Theater Years, published by Westreich Wagner and Greene Naftali (2017), Theater for Beginners (TCG, 2015), and Plays, 1996-2000 (TCG, 2004).Co-sponsored by the Department of Theater in conjunction with the Richard Maxwell & NYC Players Residency, Sept. 29 - Oct. 9The Department of Theater welcomes Richard Maxwell and New York City Players for two weeks as they research and develop a new work for the stage. The residency will include class visits, open rehearsals, an artist talk, interdisciplinary salons, and working with students across the curriculum. Including an Open Studio presentation at 5 p.m. on Oct. 9 in EEP, Bernstein Hall. Join us for a first look at the process and development of a new work by Maxwell and NYC Players.

This presentation examines links between Harold Arlen’s music from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) and Stephen Schwartz’s music for “Wicked” (2003), especially focusing on the relationship between “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from "The Wizard of Oz" and the ‘Unlimited’ theme in "Wicked". We will learn about the ways in which this theme is musically transformed across "Wicked", in a way that reflects in music the plot onstage. We will then look at other musical relationships between the two, and the ways in which they create a sort of musical 'worldbuilding' in the world of Oz.Presenter: Kyle Hutchinson is currently a visiting assistant professor of Music at Colgate University. He has published widely on various topics, including nineteenth-century chromatic harmony, Richard Strauss, musical form, and Broadway Megamusicals. His first book, Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism" will be published this October.

The Environmental Studies Program and the Earth and Environmental Geosciences Department welcome Doug Thompson to the ENST Brown Bag Series. Dr. Thompson is the Rosemary Park Professor of Geoscience; Department of Physics, Astronomy and Geophysics & Environmental Studies Program Suzi Oppenheimer '56 Faculty Director, Office of Sustainability at Connecticut College.Thompson's research falls within the discipline of geology and the sub-discipline of fluvial geomorphology. He is focused on understanding how flowing water and the resulting turbulence influence the physical channel characteristics created by these processes.At this event, Thompson will explore the following topic:The Quest for the Golden Trout Trout angling is a hobby that invites people throughout the country to connect with nature along countless rivers and streams. The concept of wildness plays an important role in motivating many anglers to temporarily escape our normally artificial daily lives for a more pristine setting. Unfortunately, economically-driven fisheries management activities designed to support a massive fishing industry often devalue the natural aspects of our waterways in favor of increased fishing opportunities. Rivers are physically manipulated and non-native trout are routinely stocking by state and federal agencies in a competition between states to attract fishing dollars. The Quest for the Golden Trout tells the story of how anglers’ love of trout fishing helped spur a massive reconfiguration of river ecosystems and economically driven fisheries management, which has ultimately served to distort Americans’ perceptions of nature and wildness. The book is of interest to anyone who cares about the natural state of our national rivers and streams.Hot wraps from Hamilton Whole Foods will be provided and will include vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. Please bring your own reusable water bottle.
