  • Rendering Rhythm and Motion in the Art of Black Mountain College
    A Lasting Imprint Rendering Rhythm and Motion in the Art of Black Mountain College Movement and music—both time-based activities—can be difficult to express in static media such as painting, drawing, and photography, yet many visual artists feel called to explore them. Some are driven to devise new techniques or new combinations of media in order to capture or suggest movement. Similarly, some visual artists utilize elements found in music—rhythms, patterns, repetitions, and variations—to endow their compositions with new expressive potency. In few places did movement, music, visual arts, and myriad other disciplines intermingle with such profound effect as they did at Black Mountain College (BMC), an experiment in higher education in the mountains of Western North Carolina that existed from 1933 to 1957. For many artists, their introduction to interdisciplinarity at the college resulted in a continued curiosity around those ideas throughout their careers. The works in the exhibition, selected from the Asheville Art Museum’s Black Mountain College Collection, highlight approaches to rendering a lasting imprint of the ephemeral. Artists such as Barbara Morgan and Clemens Kalischer seek to capture the motion of the human form, evoking a sense of elongated or contracted muscles, or of limbs moving through space. Others, like Lorna Blaine Halper or Sewell Sillman, approach the challenge through abstraction, foregoing representation yet communicating an atmosphere of dynamic change. Marianne Preger-Simon’s drawings of her fellow dancers at BMC from summer 1953 are not only portraits but also a dance of pencil on paper, created in the spirit of BMC professor Josef Albers’s line studies as she simultaneously worked with choreographer Merce Cunningham.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, This has been another year of unparalleled exhibitions and performances, a celebration of what’s possible in our new home and with the support of our community. At the beginning of 2019, we were in the last few weeks of the inaugural exhibition at 120 College Street, Between Form and Content: Perspectives on Jacob Lawrence and Black Mountain College, which was a major accomplishment in its scope and its expansion of community partnerships. Next, we presented an intimate look at the school’s political dimensions, both internal and external, through the exhibition Politics at Black Mountain College. During the same time period, the exhibition Aaron Siskind: A Painter’s Photographer and Works on Paper by BMC Artists revealed the photographer’s elegant approach to abstraction alongside works by others in his circle of influence. From June through August, our galleries filled with sound as part of Materials, Sounds + Black Mountain College, an exploration of contemporary experimental and material-based processes rooted in theories and practices developed at Black Mountain College. We closed out the year with VanDerBeek + VanDerBeek, an exhibition that bridges the historic and contemporary through an intergenerational artistic conversation. 2019 also marked the 100th birthday of Merce Cunningham, and 100 years since the founding of the Bauhaus, which closed in the same year Black Mountain College opened, seeding the latter with its faculty and utopian values. Both centennials sparked global celebrations, transcending geographic and disciplinary boundaries to honor the impact of courageous communities and collaborators. Image credit: Come Hear NC (NCDNCR) | Ken Fitch We joined the world in these celebrations through a special installation of historic dance films of the Cunningham Dance Company at this year’s {Re}HAPPENING, the exhibition BAUHAUS 100, and a virtual reality exploration of the Bauhaus Dessau building, on loan from the Goethe- Institut.

Black Mountain College April Baca Art 399/400 Origins and teachings Initially founded by John A. Rice, a scholar with "an ingrained dissatisfaction with the status quo and authority figures"[2], Black Mountain College was conceived in 1933 in the town of Black Mountain, North Carolina in the midst of WWII. Birthed by a desire to create an ideal, forward thinking college whose philosophy was to be based on John Dewey's principles of progressive education, BMC's central mission utilized and embraced an unorthodox and interdisciplinary approach to art education in which the very study of art was considered key to any successful liberal arts education. The college's curriculum stressed the importance of educating the person as a whole while simultaneously emphasizing the role of the arts in association with creative thinking. • The liberal arts college use of an informal class structure continually encouraged self-expression as well as self-discipline while employing a vast curriculum that included the "visual arts, music, literature, drama, or dance" as well as offering courses on bookbinding, photography, color and design, and woodworking.

Through interviews with contemporary faculty who organized and participated in the BMCS, along with document analysis of texts related to the history and legacy of the BMC, this research seeks to identify effective strategies for cultivating innovation, creativity, and community in the classrooms of today and tomorrow. Using a thematic analysis of interviews and historical texts, this study illuminates the values that past and present educators hold as sacred, and the ways in which they put those values into practice in their classrooms.
