“We’re Watching”

The subject of this exhibition is surveillance: how technology affects privacy, security, and citizenship. Among the twelve works—a mix of performance pieces and installations spread throughout the nooks and crannies of Bard College’s Frank Gehry-designed Fisher Center—is “What Remains,” an immersive look at violence and truths that won’t stay hidden. It’s a collaboration by the poet Claudia Rankine, the choreographer Will Rawls, and the filmmaker John Lucas. Also noteworthy is “The Rehearsal,” a dance in the form of a voyeuristic social-science experiment, performed by the excitingly original Michelle Ellsworth. (Fisher Center; April 27-30.)
