Opened 50 years ago, it had long been in crisis, before Steven D. Lavine led it to international acclaim and financial prosperity. During the nearly three decades of his presidency (1988-2017), CalArts became a uniquely influential institution across the arts, with a commitment to continuing experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, social justice and civic engagement, domestic and international diversity. Today, CalArts is the cradle of many Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize winners, of Mellon and Guggenheim Fellowsa hotspot of American creativity. In STEVEN D. LAVINE: FAILURE IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, German author Jorn Jacob Rohwer explores the story of CalArts and the historical and biographical origins of Lavines approach to life, with special attention to the way in which personal doubts and weaknesses became the basis of a style of leadership based on listening, learning, and consensus building. Rohwer uncovers the deep grounding of Lavines commitment to diversity and equal opportunity in his familys immigrant past and its legacy of Eastern European Jewry. Moreover conversing with him about US-culture, the avantgarde, philanthropy and Los Angeles at the centre of his being, Lavine proves to be a sensitive thinker, visionary and transatlantic mediator between the European and American worlds of art, politics and education. Consequently, in 2017 he was appointed as Founding Director (and later American Advisory Board Chair) of the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles, with a mandate to encourage US-German exchange and inquiry around urgent contemporary issues, especially the future of democracy. / CONTENTS UNDER THE SHINING ARMOR UNRAVELLING STEVEN D.LAVINE STEVEN D.LAVINE IN CONVERSATION WITH JÖRN JACOB ROHWER OVER THE RAINBOW A BRIEF HISTORY OF CalArts ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
