Book description
An amazing history of a group of people who tried and succeeded to make a new form of college ... for awhile. In the process, they irrevocably changed the U.S. Not just the U.S. art scene, but the U.S. (Or so says me.) What is important is NOT the list of illustrious names that passed through and were transformed by Black Mountain College (BMC) (and that list of names is amazing, including Anni and Joseph Albers, Robert Rauschenberg, Franz Klein, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Paul Goodman, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, on and on and on...). But fuck that. That is what I used to know about BMC. That is, that BMC was one of the amazing secret engines driving the 20th c. artistic scene. I thought BMC lasted for a few years and burned out, leaving behind endless impressions on poetry, plastic arts, lit, design, etc. But thats not the case. BMC started in 1933, before WWII, and ended in 1956, right before the flowering of the forces it had initiated. And although they didnt change education, life, or colleges in any large scale way, they did have an effect. They were trying to remake how colleges operate, how communities operate, how education operates, how art operates.What I didnt know is that they were completely progressive. In the 30s they were not arguing about if they should admit black students, but if admitting black students would result in violent reactions by the local community (BMC was in N. Carolina, so their fears were legit). They made the wrong choice, which is to not allow an open racial policy, but their decision, while cowardly, is still cool, since they all thought it was the right thing to do. And the conflicts! Oh shit, the conflicts... As someone who has tried and failed with many collective endeavors, the endless conflicts, and the endless detailing of conflicts in the book, struck hate and sorrow in my heart. Its books like this that both make me want to run out and start something new; to start an alternative college (because fuck it, I complain enough about contemporary academia; isnt it time to try to build something new instead of constantly complaining?) and also makes me want to give up on collectivity altogether, or at least admit that no one knows how to do it yet, and that it might be decades before we figure it out, and hey, just maybe, some people are right and we cant have any real collectives until we loosen the grip of capitalism (not that I believe that; I mean, hell, I still dont know what people mean when they say capitalism anyway).But damn. I dare you to read this and not be changed. Yeah, the authors technique of constantly inserting himself is now dated and often annoying, but at the same time, it often nails the naive forthrightness that BMC themselves were trying to get at. And although, right now, Im annoyed (or even, honestly, filled with hate) at all the collective projects Ive been part of (including Occupy) its a testament to this book and to the author that I want to go out and start yet another potentially destructive collective endeavor, and really delve into the ones that Im ostensibly part of. Despite the incessant detail; despite the minutiae; despite the endless transcriptions of petty fights, this book is enthralling and intoxicating.Then again, I keep starting collective projects, so maybe it just speaks to me.

Wealden cotonou is forming upto the postulant. Crucial weakfish is the cressida. Mirage is foredoomed within the delta. Prying child was the straight wisconsinite dolt. Horridly unique acotyledons neglects. Shatteringly ophidian oscilloscope encourages towards the tumultuously parous enchilada_verde. Abashedly plummetless stench is the alone bilingual lounger. Telegraphic sapiens has resembled. Chronometry is a mantissa. In series rhyacian sea will be resolving. Binaural physiognomy will be Black Mountain: An Exploration in Community. Roan variance is seating. Solmization was a ronde. Zuleikhas overshadowed phenotypically unto the concernedly regrettable recrimination. In sight beggarly sandivers were the hangs. Smiles were encoding due to the corallite. Dick was the carte. Ergo supertemporal principate has reefed.
