The Art Gallery Experience Through Google Glass

Experience Art through Google Glass! Han Vu and Zack Freedman have teamed up with the Gallery at BGC , Bard Graduate College, and Glass NYC to create a modern art gallery/museum experience using the image recognition technology of Google Glass.

This creative experience was designed for the advancement of art education and is part of the not-for-profit activities of the BGC Gallery.

Waterweavers: The River in Contemporary Colombian Visual and Material Culture

Using the trope of the river as a conceptual device to explore the intersections in Colombian contemporary culture between art, craft, and design, Waterweavers reveals the intricate ways in which culture and nature can intertwine across disciplines. Curated by José Roca, Estrellita B. Brodsky Adjunct Curator of Latin American Art at Tate Modern and Artistic Director of FLORA ars+natura in Bogotá, with the assistance of independent writer and editor Alejandro Martín, the exhibition presents textiles, ceramics, graphic design, furniture, video, and installations to address a concept informed by social, political, and ecological strife in Colombia: the river.
