In the mid-twentieth century, Black Mountain College attracted a
remarkable roster of artists, architects, and musicians. Yet the weaving
classes taught by Anni Albers, Trude Guermonprez, and six other faculty
members are rarely mentioned or are often treated as mere craft
lessons. This was far from the case: the weaving program was the
school’s most sophisticated and successful design program. About ten
percent of all Black Mountain College students took at least one class
in weaving, including specialists like textile designers Lore Kadden
Lindenfeld and Else Regensteiner, as well as students from other
disciplines, like artists Ray Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg and
architects Don Page and Claude Stoller. Drawing upon a wealth of
unpublished material and archival photographs, <em>Weaving at Black Mountain College </em>rewrites
history to show how weaving played a much larger role in the legendary
art and design curriculum than previously assumed.<br /> <br /> The book
illustrates dozens of objects from private and public collections, many
of which have never been shown in this context. Essays explore
connections and networks fostered by Black Mountain weavers; the ways in
which weaving at the college was linked to larger discourses about
weaving and craft; and Bauhaus influences transmitted by way of Anni
Albers. The book also includes works by five contemporary artists that
connect and respond to the legacy of weaving at Black Mountain College
today.<br /> <br /> Distributed for the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center<br />Hardcover, <span class="sp__the-pages">216 pages</span>, 90 color + 60 b-w illustrations, $40 <br /></p><p class="sp__the-author"><a href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300273564/weaving-at-black-mountain-college/" target="_blank">Yale University Press page <br /></a>Also available for purchase from the <a href="https://www.bmcbooks.com/product/weaving-at-black-mountain-college/482?cs=true&cst=custom" target="_blank">Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center</a></p><p class="sp__the-author"> <br /></p>Julie J.

Celebrating 90 years since the college’s founding, the exhibition will reveal how weaving was a more significant part of BMC’s legendary art and design curriculum than previously assumed.<br /><br />BMC’s weaving program was started in 1934 by Anni Albers and lasted until the College closed in 1956. Despite Albers’s elevated reputation, the persistent treatment of textile practices as women’s work or handicraft has often led to the discipline being ignored or underrepresented in previous scholarship and exhibitions about the College; this exhibition brings that work into the spotlight at last.<br /><br />In addition to Albers, Trude Guermonprez taught her first classes in the U.S. at BMC, and Marli Ehrman and Tony Landreau brought their own perspectives on the discipline through their work and teaching. Among their students, some went on to find work as weavers, teachers, and textile designers, including Else Regensteiner, Lore Kadden Lindenfeld, Marilyn Bauer, Don Wight, and Joan Potter Loveless. Other students did not pursue future work in weaving but became successful artists and designers in their own right, including Ray Johnson, Don Page, Claude Stoller, Jane Slater Marquis, and Robert Rauschenberg.</span></div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.blackmountaincollege.org/weaving/" target="_blank">Digital exhibition + talk recordings available here</a></span></div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"><br /></div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photograph: Will Hamlin, Mimi French in the BMC Weaving Workshop, ca. 1939-1940.

<p>Fritz Horstman, Education Director at the Josef and Anni Albers
Foundation, and Julie Thomson will co-present a workshop about the Leaf
Studies Josef Albers developed, and taught at Black Mountain College,
and later at Yale University.</p>
<p>The Leaf Studies are one of the least examined aspects of Josef
Albers’s teaching and his landmark book The Interaction of Color. First
we will look deeper into the leaf studies made by Josef Albers and his
students and then participants will have the opportunity to experiment
with, and make their own, leaf studies. Fritz will discuss how the Leaf
Studies offer a bridge between Josef Albers’s Color class + Matière
studies. Leaves collected from the Blue Ridge Mountains will allow
participants to further experience and study the colors available to BMC
students.</p>

<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">While art was at the center of the curriculum at Black Mountain College I offer that nature and experiences outdoor were also part of the curriculum there. When interviewed it was sometimes hard for people to put into words the effect of the landscape on them, however their experience of being outdoors, and the varied ways in which they were exposed to natural materials, can be found in their work. For this presentation I shared examples found in the work of five of the College’s artists: Ray Johnson, Hazel Larsen Archer Jonathan Williams, Stan VanDerBeek, and John Cage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ray Johnson (1927–1995) was a singular artist, whose life and work were inextricably linked. Born in Detroit, Johnson attended Black Mountain College before moving to New York, where his work anticipated Pop art and he was active in early Fluxus circles. Best known for his collages and Mail art activities, including what became known as the New York Correspondence School, he operated fluidly in a wide range of modes. For Johnson, everything and everyone were potential material for his art—any form could become a space for artistic activity—and the form of the interview proved no exception.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>That Was the Answer: Interviews with Ray Johnson</i> brings together a selection of interviews and conversations from 1963 to 1987 that offer unique access to Johnson’s distinctive thinking and working methods. Throughout, Johnson’s responses are marked by his humor and close attention to language. Gathering these interviews for the first time, <i>That Was the Answer</i> serves as an exceptional introduction to Ray Johnson as well as a resource for those who are interested in gaining deeper insight into this artist and his kaleidoscopic body of work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this talk I will combine and share my two areas of research and writing about artists who were at Black Mountain College. The first part will focus on Ray Johnson who was a student at Black Mountain College (1945–48). Johnson led to my interest in the photographers who were at Black Mountain College and the second part of my talk will focus on them and the 2017 exhibition <i>Begin to See:The Photographers of Black Mountain College</i> that I curated.</span></div>
