SUMMARY:ReVIEWING Black Mountain College 2025
DESCRIPTION:The ReVIEWING Black Mountain College conference is a forum for scholars and artists to contribute original work on topics related to Black Mountain College and its place in cultural history. \nThe format is designed to be interdisciplinary\, with sessions that will include panels\, presentations\, performances\, and workshops. BMC itself was a uniquely interdisciplinary organization\, generating output from its faculty and students that often involved the melding of the visual\, performing\, and literary arts. Each year\, conference participation reflects this; past presentations have explored wide-ranging\, fruitful intersections such as (to name just a few of the most recent examples) how Charles Olson’s “projectivist” poetics inspired works on the stage and screen; the influence of choreographer Merce Cunningham on Abstract Expressionist painters trained at BMC such as Pat Passlof and James Bishop; the photography of poet-publisher-artist Jonathan Williams; the path from BMC’s first Summer Institute in honor of Arnold Schoenberg\, to the design and philosophy of contemporary summer arts programs today; a performance connecting Ruth Asawa’s sculpture to contemporary dance; and a workshop offering attendees the opportunity to weave on looms with found materials\, as Anni Albers’ BMC students did. \nThe conference is hosted annually in the fall. ReVIEWING 15 will take place September 26 – 28th\, 2025\, presented in conjunction with BMCM+AC’s fall 2025 exhibition\, Points in Space: Performance at Black Mountain College\, organized by Jeff Arnal\, curator\, and Adolfo Alzuphar\, curatorial assistant. Black Mountain College’s interdisciplinary and collaborative philosophy fostered groundbreaking time-based experiments across disciplines\, significantly influencing performance\, theater\, film\, music\, dance\, and visual art worldwide. The exhibition will feature visual and time-based artworks that echo BMC’s innovative spirit from 1933 to 1957 including historical and contemporary works\, interactive installations\, performances\, and immersive experiences that bring the past into conversation with the present.  \n— \nKeynote Speaker: Debra McCall \nDebra McCall is a dance historian\, choreographer\, Certified Movement Analyst\, and performer best known for her reconstructions of Oskar Schlemmer’s 1920s Bauhaus Dances. Recipient of fellowships from the NEA and the NEH\, she also received the Rome Prize in Design from the American Academy in Rome and a Fulbright-Nehru Professional and Academic Excellence Award for her documentation of medieval reliefs of sacred dancers at the Thillai Nataraja Temple in Chidambaram\, Tamil Nadu. McCall served on the graduate faculties of New York University and Pratt Institute where she was Mellon Lecturer. Her Bauhaus work has been presented in a variety of venues including Performa 09\, Artissima 17 Torino\, and Harvard University’s The Bauhaus and Harvard: 100 years.

SUMMARY:WNC Sierra Club Asks: What Can One Person Do About Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:What can one person do when the Climate Change challenge is so great?\nThe WNC Sierra Club asked multiple knowledgeable people to offer answers at their March meeting.\nAmy Musser\, co-founder and principal of VandeMusser Design\, will provide ideas to do at home for energy-saving changes.  Tips will range from easy things that any homeowner or renter can do to DIY challenges.  She will also identify tax credits and incentives that can make change more affordable.\nDacia Harris\, Asheville High School teacher\, and students will outline their Eco Challenge/Drawdown system to create teams competing to lower your climate footprint. The students represent an Asheville team that has won a national championship on this subject. They will challenge what you think you know.\nAnd\, Sophie Mullinex of Electrify Asheville will talk about how rebates and tax incentives can offset the cost of cost-saving installations like solar energy and heat pumps.\nThe group will appear at UNCA’s Olli/Reuter Center and on Zoom. Zoom access instructions are here: http://www.WNCSierraClub.org\nThe Sierra Club is the most enduring and influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. It amplifies the power of its millions of members and supporters\, including over 3\,000 in WNC\, to defend everyone’s right to a healthy world.
