SUMMARY:Modelface Comedy presents Corey Ryan Forrester
DESCRIPTION:Modelface Comedy brings the best comedians from all over the country to Asheville\, NC. This week we are excited to have Corey Ryan Forrester!! \nCorey’s love for comedy started when he was a toddler watching Carson (and then Leno) from a blanket on the floor next to his daddy\, Dale. By the second grade\, Corey had already informed his teachers that he would be a comedian and didn’t ever consider another profession. At 16\, he worked up the nerve to do his first open mic (lying about his age to be admitted into the club). \nCorey spent the next decade hawking jokes in dingy bars and comedy clubs at night\, then waking up to do random jobs to supplement his income. He was a house painter\, retail associate\, motorcycle salesman\, urine sample collector\, flower delivery boy\, hotel maid\, college textbook reseller\, and hay bailer… at one point\, he ran a family bakery with his mother and sister where he was considered the “Head Quiche Chef.” \nIn 2015 Corey traded in his chef’s hat for a full-time trucker hat. Under Corey’s trucker hat is a giant head\, and under that are surprisingly thought-provoking rants on society\, culture\, and politics. His stand-up blends humor and common sense into a high-energy act full of silly physical comedy\, recounting wild stories and emotionally-driven tangents. \nCorey dreams of being in the small club of EGOT winners. His creative output is nearly insatiable and propelled by his passion for writing\, performance\, and silliness. Choosing to live in his hometown of Chickamauga\, when Corey isn’t on the road touring internationally as part of the wellRED Comedy Tour\, he takes hours-long walks through the woods\, talks on the phone with his momma\, and makes live videos to destigmatize mental health. \nYou can find daily videos and writing across Corey’s platforms. He makes viral character videos and political satire sketches\, writes daily for his Substack subscribers\, works on his upcoming second book\, and produces more podcasts than you can count. Corey’s undeniable charm has garnered fans like Whoopi Goldberg\, Chelsea Clinton\, Leslie Jones\, and Dave Bautista. His greatest honor has been connecting with people of all kinds\, meeting fans on the road\, and making his family proud\, even if they cringe a little. \nDoors: 6:30 PM\nShow: 7:00 PM \nPREMIUM SEATING: $30.00\nDAY OF: $25.00\nADVANCED: $20.00 \n– AGES 18+\n– FULLY SEATED SHOW\n– LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE* \n*premium seating is the front three rows

SUMMARY:PERSPECTIVES Artist Talk: Naomi Lindenfeld
DESCRIPTION:PERSPECTIVES: Naomi Lindenfeld\nJanuary 31\, 2026\, 11am | Free and Open to All\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street\, Asheville NC} \nOn Saturday\, January 31\, 2026 at 11am\, Naomi Lindenfeld will give a “Perspectives” artist talk in BMCM+AC’s upstairs gallery. This event is presented in conjunction with the opening of Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld\, an exhibition exploring artistic conversations between the work of Naomi Lindenfeld and her mother\, BMC alum Lore Kadden Lindenfeld. \nAbout Naomi: \nNaomi has developed a line of colored clay items which are intended for daily use as well as for gatherings and celebrations. The technique involves layering colored clay into a block. Patterns are created by pressing tools down into the block and then slicing it\, or rolling out the layered colored clay\, carving away strips and rolling it flat again to create a multi-dimensional effect. The flat clay is then hand-constructed into pieces that are tactile\, useful and decorative. In addition\, Naomi throws the layered colored clay on a wheel to form the pieces. She then facets the sides to reveal an agate effect or deeply carves the surface. This reveals mesmerizing striations of color that result in a great sense of depth and movement to the pieces. \nFlowing movement is the main feeling that Naomi hopes to convey in her work. Her inspiration is drawn from her love of dance\, patterns in the natural world that result from the movement of water and wind on materials like rock\, wood and shells. The colored clay technique allows one to work with colors while making a piece. Naomi loves to experiment with different color combinations to see how colors blend and contrast to create different moods. \nNaomi took her first pottery class at the age of 12\, continuing to work in clay in high school. She went on to earn a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry\, a program designed to prepare students to be professional craftspeople. During her time at B.U. Naomi observed another student who was experimenting with colored clay. Although it was still a few years before she got involved with this technique herself\, she began to be intrigued. \nAfter college she worked for several potters and eventually had the chance to do some of her own work\, which is when her experimentation with colored clay began. Naomi is one of the founding members in 1983 of the Brattleboro Clayworks\, a potter’s collective. The combination of discovering the wonders of colored clay and forming the group studio helped her aspirations fall into place and connect the work with her heart. \nNaomi has had the chance to share her enthusiasm of colored clay by teaching workshops at many craft institutes around New England\, focusing on this technique. Since the fall of 1998 she is the ceramics teacher at The Putney School\, a progressive boarding high school in Putney\, Vt. with a strong arts program.

SUMMARY:OPENING RECEPTION: Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld\nJanuary 30\, 2026\, 5:30–8pm | Free and Open to All\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street\, Asheville NC} \nJoin us for the opening reception for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld hosted at BMCM+AC on Friday\, January 30\, 2026 from 5:30–8pm. \nAbout the exhibition: Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld \nLore Kadden Lindenfeld (1921 – 2010) emigrated from Germany to the US as a Jewish refugee in the late 1930s. She attended Black Mountain College from 1945-48 already equipped with sewing and embroidery skills. She was a student of both Josef and Anni Albers as well as Trude Guermonprez and Franziska Mayer\, all of whom fled Europe like her. Inspired by the Alberses and the Bauhaus tradition\, she worked as a designer for the New York textile industry. While there she met her husband-to-be\, physicist Peter Lindenfeld at a John Cage “Happening” at the 8th Street Club. She went on to have a career as a weaver\, fiber collage artist and as a college level weaving and art history teacher. \nThis exhibition presents the clay and mixed media work of Naomi Lindenfeld as she responded to a selection of her mother Lore’s innovative textiles. The opportunity allowed her to grow creatively and to honor her mother and her life’s work. The pieces created by mother and daughter function independently as well as in dynamic conversation with each other.   \nNaomi Lindenfeld reflects: I grew up with my mother’s loom in our family’s living room\, hearing riveting stories of Black Mountain College\, its avant-garde\, experimental environment and brilliant\, unique personalities. As well\, I was exposed to many artists and craftspeople during my childhood. Not many years later I ended up with clay carving tools and a rolling pin in my own ceramics studio. I responded to the immediacy of clay and pursued it in college\, earning a degree in ceramics. While there I discovered the Japanese technique\, Nerikomi\, of layering colored clays to create patterns. I have been captivated by exploring many ways of working with colored clay ever since. More recently I have been working with mixed media featuring the patterns of tea stains. Both my method of working with clay and the tea art have a sense of movement\, abstract graphic quality\, nature-themed imagery and vivid color that echo my mother’s textiles. \nDialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld exemplifies the generational impact of Black Mountain College’s remarkable legacy as a cultural melting pot and rigorous laboratory for creative experimentation. The College’s approach to education mixed freedom and responsibility with self-reliance and community. These ingredients co-mingled to create a spirit of exploration that can be shared\, taught\, and passed down from parent to child forever.

SUMMARY:Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld
DESCRIPTION:Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center presents Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld\, an exhibition celebrating the works of mother-daughter artists\, Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Naomi Lindenfeld. Lore\, who attended and graduated from Black Mountain College in the 1940s\, made a career as a textile designer and educator while continuing to create weavings\, fiber collages\, artist books\, and drawings. Her daughter Naomi creates colored clay objects that are tactile\, useful\, and visually complex. In the exhibition\, the mesmerizing striations of color in Naomi Lindenfeld’s pottery are placed in dynamic conversation with her mother’s innovative textiles\, mixed media collages\, and drawings.  \nFrom Naomi Lindenfeld—  \nI grew up with my mother’s loom in our family’s living room. Not many years later I ended up with clay carving tools and a rolling pin in my own ceramics studio. The pairings of work in this show exemplify the influences of my mother’s work on me and have served as an opportunity to both grow creatively and to honor my mother and her life’s work. \nI grew up hearing riveting stories of Black Mountain College\, its avant-garde\, experimental environment and brilliant\, unique personalities. As well\, I was exposed to many artists and craftspeople during my childhood and took my first pottery class with a friend of my mother’s. I responded to the immediacy of clay more than what appeared to be the tedium of threading warps on a loom. While working on a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry\, I discovered the Japanese technique\, Nerikomi\, of layering colored clays to create patterns. I have been captivated by exploring many ways of working with colored clay ever since. I have also come to realize that my method of working with clay – the sense of movement\, abstract graphic quality\, nature-themed imagery and vivid color – echoes my mother’s textiles. In designing work for this show\, I was first more drawn to my mother’s fiber collage work than her weavings\, as a closer match for my own techniques and sensibilities. I later saw that the way I carve into the layers in two directions appears as woven fabric. \nIt was both fascinating and challenging to interpret a two-dimensional medium within a three-dimensional realm; to not just reproduce my mother’s ideas and imagery but to draw inspiration and design the pieces as my own. My hope is that my ceramics\, while paying homage to my mother\, stand on their own just as her fiber works do. \n___ \nARTISTS \nLore Kadden Lindenfeld (1921 – 2010) emigrated with her family from Germany to the U.S. in 1938. After settling in a suburb of Boston\, Lore worked to help support her family\, earning fourteen dollars per week as a seamstress and sales clerk. She was the primary breadwinner for the family. She had previously studied fashion design in Germany and worked as a seamstress doing alterations and in various other jobs.  \nAfter enrolling in adult education classes at Harvard\, she received a scholarship to study at Black Mountain College in 1945. She remained at BMC until she graduated in 1948. Lore studied textile design with Anni Albers\, Trude Guermonprez\, and Franziska Mayer as well as taking classes with mathematician Max Dehn\, artist Josef Albers\, and writer M.C. Richards.. Her training at BMC was integral to her development as a textile designer and her work in industrial textile production.  \nInspired by the Alberses and the Bauhaus tradition\, she worked as a textile designer for the New York fashion industry\, followed by a career as a weaver\, fiber collage artist\, and as a weaving and art history teacher on the college level.   \nNaomi Lindenfeld has developed a line of colored clay works\, intended for daily use as well as for gatherings and celebrations. Flowing movement is the main feeling that Naomi hopes to convey in her work. Her inspiration is drawn from her love of dance\, patterns in the natural world that result from the movement of water and wind on materials like rock\, wood\, and shells. The colored clay technique allows one to work with colors while making a piece. Naomi loves to experiment with different color combinations to see how colors blend and contrast to create different moods.  \nShe took her first pottery class at the age of 12\, continuing to work in clay in high school\, and finally earning a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry. Naomi has had the chance to share her enthusiasm of colored clay by teaching workshops at many craft institutes around New England\, and since the fall of 1998\, she has been the ceramics teacher at The Putney School. While being one of the founding members of the Brattleboro Clayworks\, a potter’s collective\, she now has her own home studio in West Brattleboro.  \n___ \nRECEPTION AND TALK \nJoin us for the opening reception for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld hosted at BMCM+AC on Friday\, January 30\, 2025 from 5:30–8pm. \nOn Saturday\, January 31\, 2025 at 11am\, Naomi Lindenfeld will give a “Perspectives” talk about Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld and the artistic conversations between works in the exhibition. \nBoth events take place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street\, Asheville\, NC}. Free and Open to All.

SUMMARY:Shelton Laurel: An Appalachian Opera
DESCRIPTION:A new work that explores the unique and tragic conflicts faced by settlers of Western North Carolina during the Civil War. Set in rural Madison County\, this opera is a powerful account of families torn apart by fear\, mistrust\, and violence. Tracing a story that interweaves short stories and poetry of Ron Rash and based in part on true events\, Shelton Laurel gives voice to a lesser-known but poignant chapter of Appalachian history. With music and libretto by WCU Professor Damon Sink\, Shelton Laurel is a haunting meditation on loyalty\, survival\, and the brutal consequences of civil conflict. Get your tickets today to experience the world premier of this show. \nWe look forward to seeing you at Shelton Laurel: An Appalachian Opera on Saturday\, January 24\, 2026\, at 7:30 pm. Doors will open to the performance 30 min before the show is set to start. The WCU Fine Art Museum and BAC Concessions will be open one hour prior to the show. \nImage courtesy of Hunter Library Special Collections\, Western Carolina University.
