With a particular focus on pedagogy, this presentation traces the ways that learning and living coalesced. Erickson will closely consider a range of examples, including class exercises, campus architecture, performance workshops, and artwork by Ray Johnson, Robert Rauschenberg, Ruth Asawa, and Merce Cunningham, to illuminate the culture of \u201cmaking do\u201d at the college, which, she argues, allowed for increased experimental ingenuity on the part of students and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Required Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blackmountaincollege.omeka.net\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blackmountaincollege.omeka.net\/\">Black Mountain College Catalogue <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ruth Erickson<\/strong>&nbsp;is the Mannion&nbsp;Family Curator at the&nbsp;Institute of Contemporary Art\/Boston, where she has curated solo exhibitions with artists Kevin Beasley, Mark Dion, Wangechi&nbsp;Mutu, and Vivian Suter, as well as traveling group exhibitions on&nbsp;Black Mountain College&nbsp;and another on contemporary art and migration.
