Try to put the students at the point of zero
Anni Albers talks about her teaching methods, about Black Mountain College as a pioneering adventure and the found freedom to build their own work. More insight on Anni offers an interview (with a nice german accent) from 1968. Thanks to Oral History. Excerpt of 3 Minutes here.
Albers speaks of her educational background; Paul Klee as a teacher; color in weaving; techniques and materials; Peruvian and European textiles; her “sound-absorbing” textile designed for the Bauhaus auditorium; and her weaving workshop at Black Mountain College. She reminisces about the Bauhaus in the 1920s.
Great Read: Transcript of the whole interview. Lots of insight.
Photo by Betty Fiske, 1976. Anni looks great, very outstanding. Interesting necklace. Reminds me of a female Keith Richards on this shot.
Design is fine. History is mine.
