"Open your eyes and see" said Josef Albers to his students at Black Mountain College in the 1930s and 1940s. Albers wanted his protegees to throw away their preconceived notions of art and approach afresh their visual aspirations. In an inaugural show at the David Zwirner Gallery in NYC, a pairing of the work by mentors Josef and Anni Albers with their students, Ruth Asawa and Ray Johnson lovingly allows us to "see" what these extraordinary artists contributed.

The enduring influence of Black Mountain College travels to Europe this fall, in the form of a current exhibit of the work of Anni Albers. The exhibit of her weaving is on display at Guggenheim Bilbao, in Bilbao, Spain and runs into December.

Black Mountain College Museum and Arts Center introduces its performance initiative during the conference, “ReViewing 9”, September 29-October 1, 2017 in downtown Asheville, NC.
