Screening | Documentary: Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics (2011)

Sunday, October 16, 2011, 1:00 pm

Free

A nine-part documentary that delves into the inner workings of museums, goes behind the scenes in the quilt marketplace, and journeys into the complicated—and political—world of quilts, introducing new ideas and revealing the unsuspected size and depth of the quilt culture. Preview episode 6, “How Quilts Have Been Viewed and Collected,” followed by a discussion with executive producer and host Shelly Zegart. This episode traces the slow incursion of quilts into museum collections, making the leap from bed to gallery wall. It charts institutional attitudes toward quilts as objects, rationales for their selection, and the public response to their exhibition. It also explores the lure of quilts for the private collector—who has got to have them, and why.
