Whitehill, who had dabbled in quilt-making since childhood, began to pursue the art seriously in 1929 while living in Emporia, Kansas, at the time a national quilt-making center. In 1940, she moved to Denver, where she continued her art. She donated nearly twenty of her quilts to the DAM in 1955; she died in 1964, at the age of 99. Since then, Whitehill's quilts have rarely been exhibited. The current show is said to be a response to repeated requests by the public to see the quilts, which are legendary in local quilt circles. Whitehill sometimes designed her own quilts, but she usually modeled them on earlier works by other quilters, which is why the show is called Preserving Patterns. A good example is "Autumn Leaf," from 1934, which Whitehill based on a quilt done for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The cotton quilt, done in yellows and greens on a white field, features leaf, twig and geometric shapes, and has an incredible zigzag trim around the edges. "Oriental Poppy," from 1936, was also inspired by Chicago's history and is based on a fragment of a quilt that was salvaged after the Chicago Fire. In this quilt, blocks are decorated by a conventionalized floral form with an element in the center and four radiating arms. One of the most beautiful quilts -- though all of the Whitehills are breathtaking in their simplicity and refinement -- is "Album Quilt in the Lennartson Family Pattern," done in 1945. It sports a variety of motifs, including grapevines, a pinwheel of tulips and a four-pointed star of daisies. The forms are all abstracted and done in pieces of red, pink, orange and purple fabric, both printed with patterns and plain. As with all the quilts in this show, the background field is white. Another dazzling quilt is "Indiana Wreath," one of the most complicated patterns in this group. Medallions are formed from urns filled with grapes and flowers surrounded by a floral and grape wreath. http://www.westword.com/2001-08-30/culture/stitches-in-time/2 Page 2 of 3 Denver Arts - Stitches in Time - page 2 12/8/09 2:37 PM Preserving Patterns is the perfect followup to Quiltspeak, and considering their shared topic and the short walk between the two museums, they'd be the perfect things to see on some chilly day in the very near future. « Previous Page 1 2 write your comment About Us | Work for Westword | Esubscribe | Free Classifieds | National Advertising | Privacy Policy | Terms of Use | Problem With the Site? | RSS | Site Map © 2009 Village Voice Media All rights reserved. http://www.westword.com/2001-08-30/culture/stitches-in-time/2 Page 3 of 3.

  • The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), Presented by Founding Sponsor American Express, Today Announced Its Lineup of 60 Short Films, 26 of Which Are World Premieres
    2012 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES SHORT FILM SELECTIONS New York, NY [March 13, 2012] – The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by founding sponsor American Express, today announced its lineup of 60 short films, 26 of which are world premieres. For the second year running, the recipient of the Tribeca Film Festival’s Best Narrative Short award will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the annual Academy Awards® without the standard theatrical run, provided the film otherwise complies with the Academy rules. The 2011 TFF Narrative Short Pentecost was nominated for Best Live Action Short at this year’s annual Academy Awards®, while last year’s award-winning TFF documentary short Incident in New Baghdad was nominated for Best Documentary Short. TFF’s shorts programs chart a wide range of cultural perspectives and geographic coordinates. Drawn from more than 2,800 submissions, the 2012 roster represents 25 countries and territories, including Australia, Canada, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, Haiti, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine. The 2012 slate will be presented in 9 thematic programs (5 narrative, 3 documentary and 1 experimental). Performers and interviewees include Jamie Lee Curtis, Rachel Dratch, Julia Louis- Dreyfus, Michael Fassbender, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Rachael Harris, Hugh Masekela, Sting, and Lily Tomlin. The year’s lineup reflects a particularly wide range of stylistic signatures and storytelling techniques, from “Triptych,” a documentary program focusing on art, music and physical beauty, to a decidedly testosterone-heavy edition of our ever-popular New York shorts program (titled “Men-Hattan” this year in honor of its unusually masculine bent), which will include the world premiere of writer-director (and TFF alum) Neil LaBute’s BFF.
