NYT covers DAM's upcoming "Spun"

The New York Times covers the upcoming textiles exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, "Spun."

Excerpt:

"Spun" also presents several mini-exhibitions that the museum calls "moments." One, "Western Duds," showcases four paintings, along with the depicted clothing (like a pair of overalls by Levi Strauss & Company circa 1905-22) that helped create the stereotype of the American West.

Another, "Flash of Red, Glint of Gold," unites a pre-Columbian tunic with a hanging made in 2005 by Olga de Amaral, a Colombian artist. The museum will also present an international traveling installation, the "Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef," which will snake through the galleries, growing as on-site stitchers add to it -- available to anyone who knows how to wield a hook.

Visitors can also learn to quilt in a drop-in studio or join the sewing circle of Marie Watt, an artist-in-residence, a Seneca Indian whose sculptures, made from blankets, will be shown nearby.
