The Godey Quilt: One Woman’s Dream Becomes a Reality Sandra Staebell The Godey Quilt is a 1930s appliqué quilt composed of fifteen fabric portraits of men and women clothed in fashionable mid-nineteenth century attire. The dream of Mildred Potter Lissauer (1897−1998) of Louisville, Kentucky, this textile is a largely original design that is not representative of the majority of American quilts made during the early 1930s. Notable for the beauty and quality of its workmanship, the quilt’s crafting was, in part, a response to the competitive spirit that reigned in quiltmaking at the time. Significantly, the survival of the materials that document its conception, design, and construction enhances its significance and can be used to create a timeline of its creation. Reflecting Colonial Revival concepts and imagery, the Godey Quilt is a remarkable physical expression of that era. -

162 Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition. Reiko Mochinaga
Museum Anthropology Review 1(2) Fall 2007 Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition. Reiko Mochinaga Brandon and Loretta G. H. Woodard. Honolulu: Honolulu Academy of Arts, 2004. 140 pp.∗ Reviewed by Marsha MacDowell In 1989 the Honolulu Academy of Arts partnered with Toshiyuki Higuchi of Kokusai Art to create an exhibition accompanied by a publication edited by Reiko Mochinaga Brandon (The Hawaiian Quilt, Kokusai Art, 1989). The exhibition and publication featured quilts from four Hawaiian museums and profiled the quilts of eleven contemporary quilters. With the addition of Loretta G. H. Woodard, the same team has produced Hawaiian Quilts: Tradition and Transition in tandem with an exhibition of the same name that featured 52 quilts from contemporary artists and 22 historical quilts drawn from three Hawaiian museum collections. Both the latter and the former publications provide a summary of the history of quiltmaking in Hawaii. What is different between the two exhibition catalogues? This time the team is able to draw upon the extensive research that has been undertaken by numerous individuals on different aspects of Hawaiian quiltmaking and, in particular, the work of the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project, a non- profit organization that, since 1990 has registered more than 1500 quilt patterns from thirty- seven public and private collections and more than 1,200 Hawaiian quilts.[1] The introduction to the history of quiltmaking is now enriched and expanded, including important newly-collected information that explores the influence of quilt shows, pattern makers, teachers (especially county extension agents and those affiliated with museums and hotels), collectors (especially Laurence S. Rockefeller), marketing of patterns, tourism, and the inclusion of articles about Hawaiian quiltmaking in nationally-distributed women’s magazines. -

More than a newsletter but not quite a journal, RACE-Link at best constitutes a quasi-journal. In this issue, we continue to plot the lines defining race in its contemporary configurations in the post 9/11 Canadian context. This issue begins with Sunera Thobani’s article ‘No Academic Exercise’ tracing the highly problematic notion of academic freedom. Thobani calls attention to the lack of such freedom in voicing dissent against the ongoing War on Muslim bodies. She underlines the tenuous position of women of colour in the academy whose grounded knowledge is neither validated nor their critique acknowledged. -
The Quilt Index: from Preservation and Access to Co-Creation of Knowledge
8 • Articles • The Quilt Index: From Preservation and Access to Co-Creation of Knowledge MARSHA MacDOWELL, MARY WORRALL, AMANDA SIKARSKIE, and JUSTINE RICHARDSON Michigan State University Abstract: Quilts are resources for inquiry and instruction for many disciplines, foci for the development of private and public collections, and, increasingly, a visual expressive media that has meaning for makers, owners, and users. The rise of the Internet and the development of cyber-infrastructures have created the capacity to build and use digital quilt resources and to foster networks among quilt makers, owners, and users. This article describes the development of The Quilt Index (www.quiltindex.org), a digital repository of quilt and quilt-related resources, and situates the Index in the landscape of new directions for material culture study, a landscape in which knowledge and resources are now being co-created by those who find meaning in quilts as data. It suggests that making data more accessible, providing diverse tools for use of that data, co-creating knowledge, and providing structured portals for contributed knowledge is reflecting changes in how traditional culture is documented, understood, and used. The Object of Study—The Production and Meaning of Quilts in Human Experience Quilts, perhaps one of America’s most treasured and symbolic art forms, are also produced in communities around the world. An estimated twenty-seven million individuals are involved in some aspect of quiltmaking and use in the United States alone as are many more thousands, if not millions, around the world (Creative Crafts Group 2010). The purposes and meanings of making and using quilts are as varied as the individuals who make them and the communities or contexts within which they are made. -

Summer Fridays: Exploring the Work of Richard Mayhew
Summer Fridays: Exploring the Work of Richard Mayhew Inspiration: Richard Mayhew (American, b. 1924). Friday, 1982. Oil on canvas. Gift of Dr. Thomas A. Mathews, 1987 (87.16.1). Ages: 5+ (through adult) Duration: Open-ended Materials: Paper and pencil (or artistic medium of your choice). Introduction: The basic definition of “landscape art” is “the depiction of natural scenery.” As a major genre in artistic traditions across the world, landscape art has evolved over time from what can be considered an “objective” rendering to often a more “subjective” one. Artists like Richard Mayhew have experimented with and infused individualistic identity into the genre in unique ways, expanding the definition of landscape art in general. hrm.org/museum-from-home 1 Look Take a close look at Friday. • What’s going on in this work? • What do you see that makes you say that? • What more can you find? Think • Is the landscape Mayhew depicts in Friday familiar or unfamiliar to you? Why or why not? • What part of the composition is your eye drawn to first? • How does the artist’s choice of color affect your emotions and mood when viewing this work? • How does the artist’s use of the artistic elements of form and value in the work influence your reaction to it? • If you could only use verbs/action words to describe the painting, what words would you choose? Why? Connect Richard Mayhew (b. 1924) grew up in Amityville, New York, and now resides in California. He is of African American and Native American descent. His mother was African American and Cherokee, and his father was African American and Shinnecock. -
Allan Desouza Opens Jan
Stacey Ravel Abarbanel, [email protected] For Immediate Use 310/825-4288 November 24, 2010 His Masters' Tools: Recent Work by Allan deSouza Opens Jan. 23 at the Fowler Museum at UCLA His Masters' Tools: Recent Work by Allan deSouza—on view at the Fowler Museum from Jan. 23–May 29, 2011 explores the oeuvre of the San Francisco-based performance and photo- conceptual artist, Allan deSouza. The exhibition includes nearly thirty works that engage with the effects of Euro-American empire and the racial underpinnings of colonial power. The works on display run the gamut from large-scale, gorgeously colored and sensuous abstractions to modestly-sized photographic prints. His Masters' Tools focuses on two new series created especially for this Fowler exhibition—Rdctns and The Third Eye—which explore issues of race in relation to western art history by reworking primitivist paintings by Paul Gauguin and Henri Rousseau and self-portraits by canonical artists such as Chuck Close, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol (left). Both series use digital manipulation to play with notions of artistic and technological mastery and to blur the boundaries between photography and painting. The exhibition also draws on work from earlier series, The Searchers (2003), The Lost Pictures (2004/5), and X.Man (2009), to provide a conceptual and formal context for deSouza’s newest experiments. The Searchers, a series of landscape photographs that displace deSouza’s own anxieties and preoccupations onto those of a group of tourists on safari outside Nairobi, is the outcome of his efforts to reconnect with the country of his birth on a return trip to Kenya in 2002. -
