2	La arquitectura como acontecimiento. La docencia de la arquitectura y su aprendizaje en la experiencia del Black Mountain College (1933-57) Gilsanz Díaz, Ana 04 September 2017 (has links) El Black Mountain College estuvo operativo durante 24 años, desde 1933 hasta 1957. Un centro universitario, situado en Carolina del Norte, basado en la enseñanza en artes liberales, donde se combinó la docencia con la vida en comunidad y donde la experimentación, desde las distintas áreas de conocimiento que conformaban su programa docente, era esencial en el proceso formativo. Un lugar de confluencia de diversas disciplinas e intereses donde el eje vertebrador era la experiencia artística. A lo largo de los años de su existencia, un gran número de figuras, que en ese momento y posteriormente serían fundamentales en el panorama cultural y artístico norteamericano, se acercaron a este college para compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias y pasaron a formar parte de la historia del mismo, colaborando en la generación de un mito alrededor de la institución. En este contexto, la arquitectura encontró su lugar en el proyecto docente a través de profesionales que impartieron clase y de propuestas y acciones que demuestran la capacidad de la arquitectura de entenderse como ‘acontecimiento’. Este trabajo de investigación ahonda en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la arquitectura en esta institución, recuperando los arquitectos y profesionales relacionados con la disciplina, que fueron dando forma a un programa docente donde se combinaban conocimientos teóricos con una apuesta decisiva por la experiencia práctica, que en su vertiente constructiva ejecutó parte de los edificios de su propio campus universitario. Asimismo, se explora la historia del college relatada a través de las acciones multidisciplinares colectivas de diversa naturaleza llevadas a cabo, donde se realiza una lectura que muestra la capacidad de la arquitectura de construir, no sólo en el espacio, sino también en el tiempo, a través de situaciones que trascienden el hecho constructivo y a las que denominamos como ‘acontecimientos’.

3	Ray Johnson in correspondence with Marcel Duchamp and beyond Dempsey, Kate Erin 25 October 2013 (has links) Believing that one thing was real only if it corresponded with others, Ray Johnson highlighted the connections between himself and famous artists such as Marcel Duchamp. The ways the two artists thought and how they shaped their lives corresponded like two elements in Johnson's collages. My study of Johnson through the lens of Duchamp allows me to discuss two highly intellectual and creative artists. I address the few direct interactions between Johnson and Duchamp as well as their mutual acquaintances who served as conduits of information, particularly in Johnson's direction. This dissertation focuses on Johnson's creative engagement with Duchamp and begins to explicate the depth and richness of that interchange. Each chapter focuses on several key works by Johnson, ranging from some of his earliest collages to what was perhaps the last work he completed. Through these works I explore the correspondences between the two artists outside of their individual works, with each chapter looking at one major theme including language, the viewer, performance, and identity. I outline the relationship between Duchamp and Johnson, using the selected collages to demonstrate how the synergy of the two artists is manifested in Johnson's work. My work sheds light on the enigmatic Johnson who has only very recently come under critical and historical investigation. By looking at Duchamp from this unique perspective I am also contributing to our understanding of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Most artists after Duchamp felt that they worked in his shadow but Johnson's relationship to the elder artist was different. He seems to have understood Duchamp better than almost anyone and therefore was able to selectively choose his inheritance--defining himself alongside and against Duchamp. / text Ray Johnson Correspondence art Marcel Duchamp Black Mountain College Pop art Abstract expressionism Correspondence
4	An Oral Interpretation Script Illustrating the Influence on Contemporary American Poetry of the Three Black Mountain Poets: Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan James, H. Vance (Harel Vance) 08 1900 (has links) This oral interpretation thesis analyzes the impact that three poets from Black Mountain College had on contemporary American poetry. The study concentrates on the lives, works, poetic theories of Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan and culminates in a lecture recital compiled from historical data relating to Black Mountain College and to the three prominent poets.

5	'Poems to the Sea', and, Painterly poetics : Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Cole Swensen Gillies, Peter January 2016 (has links) Poems to the Sea: Rather than narrating or describing a work of visual art, the poems that form this collection show an accumulation, juxtaposition and realignment of material ranging from art historical detail and critique to a more personal, location specific response to works viewed in galleries and museums. Many of the poems engage with non-representational artworks and question how best to reflect, translate or expand upon their transformative effects. The first section, ‘Museum Notes’, explores Charles Olson’s open field poetics by giving artists and writers a conversational voice. ‘Sound Fields’, the second section, responds to individual works of art and reflects a systems-based approach. The authorial voice within ‘Poems to the Sea’, the third section, is that of an artist involved in making a series of palimpsest drawings to capture a sense of place as drawing and writing overlaps and intertwines. Painterly Poetics: Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Cole Swensen: This thesis explores three American poets from successive generations to examine three related types of engagement with visual art. As literary models that have informed my own poetic practice, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley and Cole Swensen have theorized their own writing process to consider ways of using language to enhance the transmission and transcription of their visual stimuli and ideas. All three are interested in visual art as a model for the writing process: as a means of seeing, thinking and perceiving. After an introduction that surveys relations between verbal and visual art, a chapter is devoted to each of the three poets. In the opening and longest chapter, examples of Olson’s writing are compared to the approach of several Abstract Expressionist painters who contributed to the culture of experimentation and spontaneity that emerged under Olson’s leadership at Black Mountain College in the early 1950s. Following a discussion of Olson as a uniquely influential figure, the chapter on Creeley considers the role of visual art in his poetics. Swensen’s writing is subsequently explored for its extension of the Black Mountain legacy: how she builds upon established critical methods to achieve what she calls ‘a side-by-side, walking-along-with’ relationship between the poem and the artwork. 811
