BARD’S CENTER FOR CURATORIAL STUDIES’S LIBRARY TO UNDERGO EXPANSION

Graham Bowley reports in the New York Times_ that the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College in New York state will undergo a $3 million expansion of its library. The New York-based architectural firm HWKN will be overseeing the project, which includes a remake of the library’s interior and conversion of one of the center’s gallery spaces into a new archive as designed by the British conceptual artist Liam Gillick. After the project is completed, the library will have doubled its capacity in terms of books while the archives and special collections will triple in size. The expanded center will reopen next fall.
