Points in Space: Performance at Black Mountain College will feature visual and time-based artworks that echo BMC’s innovative spirit from 1933 to 1957. BMC was a nexus of avant-garde activity, fostering innovation through collaboration and experiential learning. The exhibition will highlight key events and figures, such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Lou Harrison, Roland Hayes, Ray Johnson, Hugo Kauder, Ursula Mamlok, Robert Rauschenberg, David Tudor, Alma Stone Williams, Stan Vanderbeek, and Stefan Wolpe, alongside movements like Bauhaus, Dada, and Fluxus. The exhibition will feature historical and contemporary works, interactive installations, performances, and immersive experiences that bring the past into conversation with the present.
