Product Information
In the years immediately following World War II, Black Mountain College, an unaccredited school in rural Appalachia, became a vital hub of cultural innovation. Practically every major artistic figure of the mid-twentieth century spent some time there: Merce Cunningham, Ray Johnson, Franz Kline, Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, Dorothea Rockburne, 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 Díaz reveals the importance of Black Mountain College--and especially of three key teachers, Josef Albers, John Cage, and R. Buckminster Fuller--to be much greater than that. Díaz's focus is on experimentation. Albers, Cage, and Fuller, she shows, taught new models of art making that favored testing procedures rather than personal expression. These methodologies represented incipient directions for postwar art practice, elements of which would be sampled, and often wholly adopted, by Black Mountain students and subsequent practitioners. The resulting works, which interrelate art and life in a way that imbues these projects with crucial relevance, not only reconfigured the relationships among chance, order, and design--they helped redefine what artistic practice was, and could be, for future generations. Offering a bold, compelling new angle on some of the most widely studied creative figures of modern times, The Experimenters does nothing less than rewrite the story of art in the mid-twentieth century.

Reviews
By parsing three different versions of experimentation-performed by Josef Albers, John Cage, and Buckminster Fuller-Eva Diaz shows us how their individual efforts were part of a shared commitment to art's capacity to reinvent the world, to alter how we see, experience, and shape it in our own image. In the name of experimentation each of the artists suspended, if only for a moment, the metrics of failure and success, and replaced them instead with the values of intellectual pleasure, expanded sensory experiences, and aesthetic innovation. While the book is undoubtedly a historical account of a particular time and place, it is also a road map for many paths that, while not taken, still remain open., By parsing three different versions of experimentation-performed by Josef Albers, John Cage, and Buckminster Fuller-Díaz shows us how their individual efforts were part of a shared commitment to art's capacity to reinvent the world, to alter how we see, experience, and shape it in our own image.

As art historian Eva Díaz reveals in this engrossing study, their explorations in materials, form, chance and indeterminacy were never less than electrifying. Her sympathetic portrait of Fuller as a utopian saving the world through geodesic geometry is particularly assured., By parsing three different versions of experimentation--performed by Josef Albers, John Cage, and Buckminster Fuller--Díaz shows us how their individual efforts were part of a shared commitment to art's capacity to reinvent the world, to alter how we see, experience, and shape it in our own image.

While the book is undoubtedly a historical account of a particular time and place, it is also a road map for many paths that, while not taken, still remain open., With well-developed prose and a good narrative, Díaz excels at providing context and content for an important story of experimentation on this campus and in subsequent locations inspired or directly impacted by the Black Mountain College approach to education., In this highly evocative and well-executed study, Daz explores the innovative pedagogical practices that were developed at Black Mountain College in its heyday. Respectful of the distinct teaching methods of the College's most notable faculty, Diaz nonetheless finds a common experimental basis to the artworks and inventions produced by their students in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Experimenters is nuanced, erudite, and intellectually wide-ranging. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the development of mid-twentieth-century art in the United States., In this highly evocative and well-executed study, Díaz explores the innovative pedagogical practices that were developed at Black Mountain College in its heyday.
