Through July 13, 2008British Qualities: Works on Paper, 1875-1930Forty-eight prints, drawings and watercolors by two dozen British artists follow the developments in the graphic arts during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Noticeably absent are the revolutionary trends that wrenched French and German art toward modernism in this same period. The British evolved, rather, from their home-grown landscape traditions of Turner and Constable and from the crystalline figurative style of the Pre-Raphaelites. The results were insular, independent and united only by common devotion to excellence in draftsmanship and the printer’s craft. Led in the early period by supremely talented American expatriates, James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, England nurtured the idiosyncratic talents of Frank Short, Muirhead Bone, Frank Brangwyn, David Young Cameron and William Russell Flint whose contributions to English art were recognized with eventual knighthoods. Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN. http://www.imamuseum.org Through July 20, 2008Built: Constructed Objects by Ted LarsenTed Larsen’s evolving exploration of the detritus of consumer culture and minimal sculpture reaches a remarkable culmination in his first solo exhibition at Eight Modern. The artist transforms salvage material into intimate, evocative forms that he calls constructed objects. Larsen, a longtime resident of Santa Fe, was awarded a grant from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation earlier this year. Eight Modern, Santa Fe, NM http://www.eightmodern.net 
Through July 13, 2008Fashion Conscious: Designs that will Change the World One Garment at a TimeAs part of the series, the year of “Eco-exhibitions” at the UC Davis Design Museum, this exhibition explores sustainability and how it relates to the clothes we buy, from the ecological impact of eco-friendly textiles to the re-evaluation of industrial manufacturing. Design Museum, Davis, CA. http://designmuseum.ucdavis.edu/exhibition.html Through July 13, 2008Amish & Mennonite Quilts from the Big Valley & BeyondThis exhibition features twelve recently acquired quilts that expand the museum’s collection of more than 300 quilts. Five of the quilts demonstrate the design and color preferences of the three groups of Old Order Amish in the Kishacoquilla Valley of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania: Nebraska, Byler, and Peachey Amish. Each of these groups follows a different Ordnung—the rules that govern all areas of Amish life, from the colors and styles that can be used for clothing to the patterns and stitched motifs that are appropriate for quilts.

Through April 7, 2008Panorama of Portuguese Contemporary CreationThe history of the Grand Duchy is closely related to that of immigration. The Portuguese community accounts for almost 40% of the foreign community and constitutes 14% of the population of Luxembourg. Perfectly integrated, this community, including its younger generation, preserves a strong relationship with its country of origin. This exhibition explores the different generations of the Portuguese artistic scene. Through various media—photography, video, painting, sculpture, installation—the exhibition paints with broad features the portrait of a creative and dynamic country with which Luxembourg maintains a close relationship. Fondation Musee d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. http://www.mudam.lu Through July 10, 2008Italy NowThis exhibition introduces buildings by twenty architectural firms from different parts of Italy. In thematic dialogues, architects, and critics discuss specific positions and the situation of Italian architecture. Selected photographs provide subjective impressions of the architectural context in Italian cities and settlements. The exhibition gives a fascinating insight into contemporary Italian architecture, its expressive power and the thinking behind it.
