Art is Belief Made Visible
The Denver Art Museum is hosting two quilt exhibitions in 2008.
Amish and Mennonite Quilts from the Big Valley and Beyond
Runs through July 13th. This exhibition features twelve recently
acquired quilts. Five of the quilts demonstrate the design and color
preferences of the three groups of Old Order Amish in the Kishacoquilla
Valley of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. The show also includes examples
of Amish quilts made in Somerset and Lawrence Counties in Pennsylvania,
Midwest Amish quilts, and Mennonite quilts from Pennsylvania.
The Architecture of the Quilt will appear at the museum from April 13th through July 6th. This touring show features about 50 quilts from the well-known African-American community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. The quilts, constructed of utilitarian materials such as corduroy, denim, and scrap materials, represent work from the 1930s to the present. Their bold colors and forms are recognized as unique contemporary artworks. The exhibit includes the human stories behind the quilts, providing information on the roles of community and family, environmental sources of inspiration, and the artistic process. For more information on these and other exhibits at the museum, visit www.denverartmuseum.org
