Description: An exhibition of artwork by Sara VanDerBeek and by her father, Stan VanDerBeek, an alumnus of Black Mountain College. "This exhibition included his paintings from the early 1950s; pioneering animated films 1959-1969 with soundtracks by fellow BMC alums John Cage and Jay Watt; and archival material related to his work at BMC. [. . .] For this exhibition, [Sara] selected a precise grouping of her recent photographs and sculptures that together form a meditative, immersive environment for considering how the ethos of Black Mountain College might be transmitted across generations. The fragility and strength evoked in Sara's work through her pointed manipulations of color, scale, and surface convey a respect for her predecessors as well as a drive to generate meaningful images in an era in which their proliferation, as foreseen by her father's work, intensifies with each passing moment"--https://www.blackmountaincollege.org/vanderbeek-vanderbeek, accesssed Jan. 13, 2021.
