SUMMARY:ELEMENTS OF BMC: Fiber Workshop
DESCRIPTION:ELEMENTS OF BMC is a new series that explores the fundamental parts of creative practice at Black Mountain College\, highlighting a range of artistic mediums and techniques. The series investigates the role of these elements in shaping the college’s legacy and lasting influence on contemporary art.\nAttendees will have the opportunity to explore new creative forms while learning about key artworks from the BMCM+AC Permanent Collection\, demonstrating connections across time. For the first iteration of our ELEMENTS series\, join us for a weaving and fiber arts workshop with Maya Rosenbaum\, BMCM+AC Communications Coordinator. \nWeaving was one of the most popular subjects taught at Black Mountain College and held an important place at the heart of the College’s legendary art and design curriculum. The weaving program was started in 1934 by Anni Albers and lasted until the College closed in 1956. Weaving practices and ideas spread beyond the weaving program into other areas of the College\, engendering a broader “weaving literacy” amongst the community. The recent exhibition Weaving at Black Mountain College explored the profound influence of textile practices on BMC pedagogy. \nThe workshop is open to learners of all ages and experience levels. Participants will learn to weave on a small tapestry hand loom and will explore different fibers through touch. We will provide all of the necessary materials including hand looms\, yarn\, and tapestry needles. More experienced fiber enthusiasts are encouraged to bring their own materials\, too. As part of the workshop\, participants can explore a pop-up exhibition of selected textile objects from the BMCM+AC Permanent Collection which tell the story of weaving at BMC. This workshop will take place in the BMCM+AC library and is free and open to the public\, no registration required.

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: home
DESCRIPTION:HOME\, a collaboration of Sue Schroeder (dancemaker) and Adam Larsen (filmmaker)\, connects the foundations of human existence — home\, body and nature — as inextricably linked.

SUMMARY:PERSPECTIVES: David Silver on The Farm at BMC
DESCRIPTION:BMCM+AC will host David Silver\, co-curator of The Farm at Black Mountain College\, for a gallery walk-and-talk alongside a book launch / signing event. Join us for an in-depth look at the Farm story and a celebration of the exhibition. This event is free and open to all. \nBuilt on more than a decade’s worth of deep\, original archival research\, The Farm at Black Mountain College constitutes a comprehensive new history of Black Mountain College. By focusing on the farm\, the exhibition sidesteps the popular paradigm of approaching BMC through its famous faculty and students\, and instead offers a new cast of characters\, one that includes mostly students\, women\, and farmers. It spotlights the importance of collaboration\, both on campus among students\, faculty\, and faculty families\, and in the community with farmers and organizations in nearby cities and towns. Finally\, the exhibition shows what happens when communal living is no longer communal\, and offers the first ever detailed account of the fall of the college\, a dramatic and often dangerous story. \nPresented in BMCM+AC’s lower gallery\, the contemporary installation DEER FREAKS…and decoys explores the hyper-natural forces of attraction and repulsion informing our interactions with the landscapes we inhabit. From fence rows to scare-crows\, DEER FREAKS documents the creative ways people propagate\, shape\, lure\, and protect in their environments. This multi-media\, multi-layered project of Swannatopia responds to the themes of The Farm at Black Mountain College.
