QUILTS FROM KENTUCKY AND BEYOND:
THE BINGHAM-MILLER FAMILY COLLECTION "This exhibition includes 39 American quilts made between the 1830s and the late 1990s that reflect both the development of the U.S. textile industry as well as the creativity and aesthetic preferences of their makers — all but one from a private Louisville collection assembled over the course of three decades. Together, the quilts reflect the development of the U.S. textile industry, along with quilts’ remarkable adaptability to changing popular tastes, material availability and individual quilters’ whims. For their makers, quilts provided a creative outlet that influenced the lives and aesthetic experiences of those who saw and used them. The Speed Art Museum thanks Eleanor Bingham-Miller and Shelly Zegart for making this exhibition possible. This online version is made possible through the generosity of Eleanor Bingham-Miller." --Speed Art Museum. Click Here to explore all of the quilts online. Choose your favorite and copy it to a google doc. Explain why you choose it and how the elements and principles were used to create the artwork. Share it with Mrs. Nethery for Credit. |

"Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art questions and explores the complex and contested space of the American South. One needs to look no further than literature, cuisine and music to see evidence of the South’s profound influence on American culture, and consequently much of the world. This unprecedented exhibition addresses and complicates the many realities, fantasies and myths that have long captured the public’s imagination about the American South. Presenting a wide range of perspectives, from both within and outside of the region, the exhibition creates a composite portrait of southern identity through the work of 60 artists. The art reflects upon and pulls apart the dynamic nature of the South’s social, political and cultural landscape." --- Nasher Museum Store
