Asheville Art Museum has unveiled its new building in North Carolina, and with it, a slew of opening exhibitions. The museum's own collection is known for its ties to the former Black Mountain College, the N.C. school open between 1933 and 1957 that was tethered to Bauhaus and faculty and students that included Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, and Ruth Asawa. Their collection has been reinterpreted in a new display at the venue.

The circus, hosted by Tetem in Enschede, Netherlands last spring, relates the various talents of Nes.
