The only way to do it is to do it'

The only way to do it is to do it is an exhibition and series of events that bring into focus the enduring legacy of the radical liberal arts institution, Black Mountain College (North Carolina 1933-1957). The exhibition echoes an ethos shared by Black Mountain College then, and Glasgow today: two artistic communities keen to promote learning through collective experience and activity. This approach was succinctly articulated by Black Mountain College teacher and choreographer Merce Cunningham in his mantra 'the only way to do it is to do it'. The exhibition includes prints by teachers at Black Mountain College alongside works by Glasgow-based artists, Raydale Dower, G.O.D.S. and Ciara Phillips. Intrinsic to the exhibition is a series of live activations by these three contemporary artists which invite the public to encounter printmaking, dance, sculpture and sound in locations across the university campus. Following the model of Black Mountain College, process - rather than result - will be the tenet driving these events.
