"How Can This Stuff Be Legal?"
Take a toke of Salvia Divinorum and you'll wonder, too.
By Matt Snyders
Gee's Bend is an isolated Alabaman African-American community known for debilitating poverty, lingering scars of the Jim Crow South — and some of the most celebrated artistic creations in recent history. When an exhibit of the residents' homemade quilts — featuring stunning designs and self-taught techniques — began touring major art museums in 2002, critics hailed them as "some of the most miraculous works of art America has produced." Now it's Denver's turn: Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt, opens today at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, and runs through July 6. (Gee's Bend, a play by Elyzabeth Wilder that tells the quiltmakers' stories, is at the Space Theatre through April 19.)
"The current exhibition explores several complementary themes — the types of patterns and materials used to make the quilts, the preferences of different quiltmakers in these matters, and the familial and community interrelationships among the quilters and aspects of their works," says Alice Zrebiec, the DAM's textile-art consulting curator. What's more, some of the quiltmakers themselves will be in town to discuss their work on June 7 and 8. For details, call 720-865-5000 or visit www.denverartmuseum.org.
April 13-July 6, 2008
