In collaboration with Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Atelier Éditions has authored an ongoing, ever-evolving series of experimental chapbooks which explore the assorted concepts, thoughts, theologies and dialogues examined within the museum’s Faith in Arts project.

Faith in Arts is BMCM+AC’s multiple public dialogues, experiments, installations, and interviews examining art, spiritual practices and faith’s longstanding engagement with one another. Each conversation begins with an open-ended question: what does faith in arts mean to you?

Volume 5
The Land: Stories of the Soil

The beguiling landscape of Lake Eden supplied creative inspiration to many Black Mountain College artists. In the 1930s, when a farm was founded there by a patchwork of students, farmers, and faculty, the Appalachian land also helped feed the community. These pages unearth the rich soil of the area through a diverse collection of voices, including David Silver’s lively story of the college’s renegade farm, a Cherokee folktale from Kathi Littlejohn, poems by Jeffery Beam, David Weinrib, and M.C. Richards, a nature journal brimming with flora and fauna from Mari Yamashita de Moya, and artworks by Josef and Anni Albers.

Published by Atelier Editions & Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center.
Edited by Hannah Lack.
Featuring contributions from Isabella Losskarn, David Silver, Kathi Littlejohn, Jeffery Beam, David Weinrib, M.C. Richards, Mari Yamashita de Moya, Josef and Anni Albers.
