The Black Mountain College (BMC) in North Carolina was the leading
institution for interdisciplinary arts education in the late 1940s.
The curriculum included not only the fine arts, architecture and
theatre, but also economics, physics and history. Many of
America’s foremost artists, poets and designers of the time, as
well as numerous emigrants from Germany who came to the Black
Mountain College from the Bauhaus after it was closed by the Nazis,
were among the teaching staff. The goal of the BMC was to establish
a democratic and – in accordance with John Dewey’s principles
of progressive education – experience-based, interdisciplinary
teaching institute. This publication is the first to examine the
BMC’s educational model, its philosophical approaches and John
Dewey’s philosophy of art, with the aim of comprehensively
understanding and reviving the BMC’s legacy in order to renew it
in a participatory sense. A major focus of this volume is the art
project PERFORMING the Black Mountain ARCHIVE by Arnold Dreyblatt,
in which students from European art academies were invited to
translate an archive on the Black Mountain College created by
Dreyblatt into the present time through performative interaction.
Text in English and German.
