{Re}HAPPENING 11
an annual arts event at the historic
Black Mountain College Campus at Lake Eden
April 8, 2023, 3-11pm

Black Mountain College at Lake Eden
375 Lake Eden Road
Black Mountain, NC 28711

Tickets: $15-$37

Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center developed a fundraising idea that grew into the {Re}HAPPENING, a dinner and performance event inspired by John Cage’s 1952 Theatre Piece No. 1, considered by many to be the first Happening. For the first six years, the Media Arts Project (MAP), an artist-run non-profit in Asheville, collaborated to organize and produce the event with BMCM+AC.

The {Re}HAPPENING is a one-day event at the historic campus of Black Mountain College, 15 minutes from Asheville. It is part art event, part fundraiser, and part community instigator, providing a platform for contemporary artists to share their responses to the vital legacy of Black Mountain College by activating the buildings and grounds of the BMC campus with installations, new media, music, and performance projects.

General admission brings in hundreds of visitors annually. In addition to providing a forum for regional artists and an accessible, immersive, educational experience for attendees, every year the event is a community collaboration between local businesses and arts organizations.

FEATURING:

The Shapes of Movement will be the second collaboration between the Moving Architects, interdisciplinary artist and videographer gwen charles and sculptor Crystal Gregory. With this work we explore the parameters of woven textiles and architecture as they pertain to the body and to movement— movement described by and remembered through the outlining material landscape. The movement through a landscape, the pliability of a textile, as well as their gridded systems, are described and explored in relation to social structures of citizenship and intersecting parts of a whole. Ultimately, recognition of these systems as boundaries and edges helps in describing the life within.

Dance & Architecture Exploratory Lab (NYC)
October 21, 2022

The Moving Architects will explore the intersection of architecture and movement in collaboration with Professors Ashlie Boelkins and Olivia Pontiff and Master of Architecture graduate students from the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  Students will develop an understanding of Laban space harmony as led by Artistic Director Erin Carlisle Norton, and immerse in a workshop between the students and professional dancers.  The Moving Architects will explore movement in response to the student’s designs or “choreography” of their creative works.  The goal of the Exploratory Lab is to ignite a creative process for both disciplines where the bodies’ relationship to emotion and space are in focus.
