Interesting mail from the Netherlands

November 7, 2008

Got this in the mail the other day from the Fries Museum in the Netherlands. It’s the exhibition card for the “Quilts Kunstmet een Q” exhibtion that opens November 15, where I will have two quilts “Skating on Thin Ice” and “Blue Christmas.” Not your typical quilt exhibit show card is it?  Wish I could read the Dutch writing on the back.

holland_mail2.jpg When the editors of Handwerken Zonder Grenzen learned my work would be in the Fries Museum exhibition, they had an arts and culture writer from Holland interview me last summer for this article. It’s in the Oct-Nov. issue, and just got my copy. Can’t read it either, but the photos are nice. When I translate the website on Google, looks like the title of the article is “Comic Strips of Fabric” which I thought was pretty funny.

In other news, working on my photos to contribute to Ricë Freeman-Zachery’s next book titled Creative Time and Space:  Making Room for Making Art. And although I submitted a portfolio to my alma mater a couple of years ago, just found out that I have a solo show coming up there in February. So better get back to work…

    Dang!! That foreign language thing can be pesky!
    Very cool for you about the exhibit and interview though…How’s the “wedgie” table working out?

    Still on a four-wheeler in the back warehouse, but we don’t have a kiln yet. Maybe Santa will have a kiln in his sleigh, haha:)

    Great about the Netherlands show. Some of the most interesting people I know are from Holland. But the language is impossible.

    Hi Pam,

    Did you know there’s a Flickr group by the Fries Museum for photographs of quilts? If you have pictures of Skating on thin ice and Blue christmas please feel welcome to join the group.
