Practically every major artistic figure of the mid-twentieth
century spent some time at Black Mountain College: Harry Callahan,
Merce Cunningham, Walter Gropius, Willem and Elaine de Kooning,
Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, Aaron Siskind, Cy
Twombly--the list goes on and on. Yet scholars have tended to view
these artists' time at the college as little more than prologue, a
step on their way to greatness. With "The Experimenters," Eva Diaz
reveals the influence of Black Mountain College--and especially of
three key instructors, Josef Albers, John Cage, and R. Buckminster
Fuller--to be much greater than that.
Social inequality, population growth, climate change. The artist Dawn DeDeaux does not shy away from difficult topics. Since the 1970s, she has been probing humanity's present and future in videos, performances, and installations. This catalogue, published to coincide with her first comprehensive museum exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Modern Art, presents DeDeaux's work spanning five decades: from early multimedia works using radio and satellite to recent works from her MotherShip series, in which she imagines humanity's escape from a destroyed Earth. In her work, art is always closely intertwined with philosophy, science, and new technologies. Consequently, the text contributions go beyond art to contextualize her work.
