The recent mention of the Bard conference on the Spoils of War reminds me that those interested in curatorial programs that focus on art might want to check out Bard. The school has gone through a restructuring in the past few years and I hear a lot of exciting noises coming out of the Center for Curatorial Studies. The school itself is up the river, so to speak, from New York City in a beautiful place and the Center for Decorative Arts is on the Upper West Side in the city. Sorry I don't have the address to hand, it's early morning here in Baghdad on the Hudson... Happy New Year Robbin Murphy [log in to unmask]
