BLACK MOUNTAIN RESEARCH

Collaborative Project

Black Mountain Research (2013-2016) was initiated on the occasion of the exhibition “Black Mountain – An Interdisciplinary Experiment 1933 – 1957” (5. June – 27. September 2015 ) at Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin. The museum, Freie Universität Berlin and Dahlem Humanities Center developed a research and teaching based collaboration, including university seminars, public events, two conferences and digitally published projects. Both conferences, Black Mountain – Models Of Creativity (2014) and Black Mountain - Educational Turn and the Avantgarde (2015) are documented and viewable online. The website black-mountain-research.com documents and extends the research practice as a work platform, including essays and images from students and researchers. A printed edition of Black Mountain Research was published with Kerber Verlag in 2016. Project Team: Eugen Blume, Matilda Felix, Verena Kittel, Gabriele Knapstein, Annette Jael Lehmann, Anna-Lena Werner
