Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center (BMCM+AC), in Asheville, NC, presents an inaugural exhibition celebrating the completion of a three-year, two-phase renovation and expansion project led by artist and designer Randy Shull and J. Richard Gruber, PhD, director of the newly launched Architecture + Design Institute (A+D@BMCM+AC).
Organized by Gruber, Randy Shull/Wide Open: Architecture and Design at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center examines the enduring legacy of Black Mountain College (BMC, 1933‒57) through the lens of its architecture and design program and the influential innovators who taught there while contextualizing Shull’s design and construction process directly inspired by them. The exhibition is on view July 1‒September 3, 2016, and is accompanied by a publication.
