Bard Faculty Tanya Marcuse and Adriane Colburn Awarded a Marble House Project Residency
L–R: Tanya Marcuse, associate professor of photography; and Adriane Colburn, artist in residence at Studio Arts.
During her residency, Marcuse will develop a new body of work titled Circle | Cycle, exploring the symbolic and cosmological power of the circle as both subject and structure. Using natural materials gathered from the surrounding landscape, she will construct and alter a single circular assemblage, documenting its evolution through photographs and a looping stop-motion film. Long associated with ideas of wholeness, infinity, and cosmic order, the circle in this project becomes a site where creation and rupture coexist on the same plane. Marcuse will invite fellow artists to contribute locally found materials, creating a collaborative process rooted in place.
While in residence, Colburn will develop Windward, a suite of artworks that explore the resonance of trees increasingly felled by wind and water. Through research on vulnerable tree species across northeastern forests, riparian zones, and urban landscapes, and the climatic pressures that bring them down, her project examines the environmental conditions reshaping contemporary forests and the material possibilities of salvaged wood. Working with arborists, foresters, and rural sawyers, she will recover fallen trees and transform them into lumber and paper pulp as raw material for sculptures, installations, and works on paper. The resulting artworks explore interspecies connectivity, woodcraft traditions, and poetic traces of environmental forces embedded within the wood, illuminating escalating environmental crises and their complex web of cause and effect.

Gibson’s art includes sensory objects like flashes, jingle dress dance, and op-art patterns to produce a feeling of “luminous, multisensory release.” His upcoming show This Is Dedicated To The One I Love is focused on bright paintings inspired by prisms and nebulas. These pieces reflect his childhood, which he spent surrounded by many different cultures, and impart the sense that humanity is “encased by this planet… on the same, massive, phenomenal organism.”
