Burlington, VT \u2014 The Fleming Museum of Art at the University of Vermont presents\u00a0About Place: Quilts from Vermont Museums<\/em>, on view from September 10 through December 7, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Place<\/em> brings together a compelling array of historical and contemporary quilts from the Fleming’s collections, along with loans from the Shelburne Museum and Middlebury College Museum of Art. From Bertha E. Ames’ dazzling One-Patch Diamond Quilt <\/em>to <\/em>the Women of UVM’s collaborative UVM Bicentennial Quilt<\/em>, each work shows how fabric and stitches can be used to engage with a sense of place. For example, living connection to place and community find expression in Peggie L. Hartwell’s exquisite narrative quilt Story Teller<\/em>, and in the bold and distinctive patterns of an Appliqu\u00e9 and Pieced Star Quilt<\/em> made by an artist from the Grand Traverse Tribe of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another exhibition highlight is from Anna Von Mertens’ series As the Stars Go By<\/em>, which maps the position of stars over sites and moments of American history. Von Mertens’ quilt December 29, 1890, Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the Final Hour before Dawn<\/em> offers a time-elapsed view of the celestial sphere before the massacre at Wounded Knee, inviting viewers to reflect on this shared history and consider the perspective of the stars who witnessed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition was organized in complement to Handstitched Worlds: A Cartography of Quilts<\/em><\/a>, also on view this fall, by Kristan M. Hanson, PhD, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, for the Fleming Museum of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
