SUMMARY:Modernist Design at Black Mountain College
DESCRIPTION:The experiment known as Black Mountain College (BMC) began in 1933 in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The country was in the midst of the Great Depression and headed towards World War II; budgets were low\, but creativity was high. When Josef & Anni Albers emigrated from Germany to the United States\, they left the Bauhaus school of art and design behind but brought with them their modern aesthetic and design prowess. As faculty leaders at BMC\, they attracted well known architects like A. Lawrence Kocher and Buckminster Fuller\, among others\, to teach architecture and design. \nPerhaps most progressive of their actions was to hire a woman\, Mary “Molly” Gregory\, to head the furniture workshop. An openness to creativity and a smart resourcefulness—on the part of both faculty and students (like Ruth Asawa\, Albert Lanier\, and Mim Sihvonen)—meant an artistic output of groundbreaking designs including architecture\, furniture\, ceramics\, textiles\, and more that has yet to be fully assessed. This exhibition highlights the Asheville Art Museum’s collection of design from BMC\, like the rarely seen Gregory furniture\, and situates it in the context of its influences and surroundings at BMC. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Asheville Art Museum and curated by Whitney Richardson\, associate curator. Support is provided by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. \nImage: Mary “Molly” Gregory\, Lazy-J Chair\, circa 1945\, stained ash\, leather\, and brass\, 26 ¾ × 17 ⅛ × 24 ½ inches.

SUMMARY:A Dance of Images and Words: The Nancy Graves/Pedro Cuperman Tango Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:The common idiom “it takes two to tango” is immediately called into question in both the imagery and text of the Tango portfolio. Featured is a series of eight intaglio prints that depict plants and animals alongside eleven sheets of prose that explore the steps of the Argentinian dance\, the tango. The portfolio expresses artist Nancy Graves and writer Pedro Cuperman’s meditations on the dance. Their imagery and words become paired in an illustrated book with explorations that take different formats and directions. Both Graves and Cuperman look towards humankind and nature as a place where beings come together in the experience of living. This exhibition presents Graves’s eight prints alongside the portfolio frontispiece\, and a page of Cuperman’s text to immerse visitors in the collaborative dance of the tango. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Asheville Art Museum from the Museum’s Collection and curated by Hilary Schroeder\, assistant curator. \nImage: Nancy Graves\, Parable of Nostalgia from the Tango portfolio\, 1991\, intaglio on cotton rag paper\, edition 12/26\, publisher: Iris Editions\, New York\, image: 26 × 17 5/8 inches\, sheet: 35 ¾ × 26 inches.

SUMMARY:Rural Avant-Garde: The Mountain Lake Experience
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary art\, interdisciplinary research communities\, and the inspiration of Appalachia converge in Rural Avant-Garde: The Mountain Lake Experience. This exhibition showcases a selection of collaborative creative works that emerged from nearly four decades of the Mountain Lake Workshop series\, a program sited in rural southwestern Virginia. \nFounded by artist and scholar Ray Kass in 1980 and co-organized with influential art critics Dr. Donald B. Kuspit and Dr. Howard Risatti\, as well as the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA)\, the Mountain Lake Workshops integrated the arts and sciences in a dynamic experimental creative process that pushed past the traditional boundaries of art\, dance\, and performance. \nCommunity-centered from its inception\, the Mountain Lake Workshop demonstrated the relevance of the arts across disciplines\, as well as social and participatory learning. This exhibition offers a focused look at art that investigated new conceptual limits\, born of the region in southwestern Virginia\, just a few hundred miles north of Asheville\, NC. Works range from large-scale watercolors and photographic installation to relics of performances and other experimentations in artmaking. \nHighlights include composer and conceptual artist John Cage’s New River Rocks and Washes (1990). A significant late-career work by Cage\, this rarely exhibited watercolor extends nearly 30 feet in length\, produced using methods of chance to trace stones gathered from the workshop’s natural surroundings. \nThis exhibition was organized by the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts at Longwood University. Generous funding was provided in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage: Jiro Okura\, The Mountain Lake Screen Tachi\, 1990\, synthetic gold leaf on walnut\, 5 two-sided folding screens\, each four panels\, length variable\, height between 86 and 120 inches.

SUMMARY:Walter B. Stephen Pottery: Cameo to Crystalline
DESCRIPTION:Artist Walter B. Stephen contributed to Western North Carolina’s identity as a flourishing site for pottery production and craftsmanship in the early 20th century. This exhibition features art pottery and functional vessels from each stage of Stephen’s career\, from his origins discovering the medium alongside his mother in Tennessee to his multi-decade production just outside of Asheville. \nIn Arden\, NC\, Stephen founded his third and last pottery studio\, Pisgah Forest\, which he operated from 1926 until his death in 1961. It was at this studio that the artist perfected the “cameo” decoration technique for which he became best known. His hand-painted images\, achieved with layers of white translucent clay\, often feature American folk imagery\, from covered wagons and livestock to cabins and spinning wheels. A selection of works from the Museum’s Collection showcases his innovation in form and in decorative surface details\, including experimentation with crystalline glazing. \nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the Judy Appleton Memorial Fund and the Michael Lask Fund. This exhibition is organized by the Asheville Art Museum and curated by Alexis Meldrum\, curatorial assistant. \nImage: Pisgah Forest Pottery\, Walter B. Stephen\, Covered Wagon teapot\, creamer and sugar bowl\, 1943\, glazed stoneware\, 4 ⅜ × 9 × 6 ½ (teapot); 3 ¼ × 5 ¼ × 4 ½ (creamer); 4 × 6 ⅝ × 5 ½ (sugar bowl) inches.
