Notes on an Interview: Tom Wolf

Tom Wolf - Professor of Art History

“The newly renovated exhibition space in the Fisher Studio Arts Building permits an ambitious schedule of exhibitions, which are an integral component of the program. In addition to open student exhibitions, Senior Project shows, and Moderation exhibitions, student work on particular themes is exhibited at student-curated and faculty-curated shows. Exhibitions of work by outside artists, selected by independent curators, are also presented each year” – Bard Website

In addition to curating shows in the Fisher Studio Arts Building, Tom Wolf has organized various exhibitions and lecture series held on Bard campus. In March 2008, Wolf exhibited works done by New York City graffiti artist Nelson Keene Carse. The show took place in the Reem Kayden Science Building with the hope of integrating visual art into a non-traditional exhibition space.
