Lux Center for the Arts - https://www.luxcenter.org/exhibitions/maximalismFirst Friday Reception: 09/06/2024 - 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Community Room
On Display: September 6, 2024 to September 25, 2024
Exhibition Description: Maximalism, one of the elements of modern quilting, is used in many art forms from paintings to music to interior design to quilting. Often, there’s very little open space in maximalist art. The eclectic nature of maximalism means all the elements are layered together to create interesting and filled compositions.
Maximalism is
……more-is-more (layers of fabric, lots of colors, entire surface covered)
……mix of prints (variety of patterns and textures) or use of bright solids)

Inspired by "Feed Sacks: An American Fairytale," in the West Gallery, Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild members have created modern versions of vintage quilts using a variety of recovered, repurposed, or reclaimed materials. Textiles from denim to livestock feed bags to used clothing and everything in between are given new life in the upcycled creations.

First Friday Reception: 11/6/2020 - 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Community Room
On Display: November 6, 2020 to November 20, 2020
Exhibition Description: Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild is a community of quilters who use improvisational techniques, modern color schemes and reinterpretations of classic patterns to make new and inventive quilts. We challenge our members to embrace new methods a for their pieces. In this series, we asked members to reinterpret a piece of art using modern quilting and art elements: line, color, shape, asymmetry, minimalism, and negative space. The minimum size was 24 x 24 inches up to a throw sized quilt.
Big Blue Spin Off

On Display August 3, 2020 through December 22, 2020.
Exhibition Information: Each month on their way to a meeting room here at the International Quilt Museum, the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild (LMQG) members pass a large digital rendering of the quilt Big Blue. Ardis James, a quiltmaker and philanthropist whose vision for a quilt museum is part of the IQM's history, made the quilt. Big Blue is an Album Sampler quilt, meaning its design is a collection of different quilt patterns. LMQG members challenged themselves to each create a spin-off (an adaptation, outgrowth, or development of another similar thing) of one of the blocks in James's quilt.
The Modern Quilt Guild (MQG), an international movement and organization, encourages quiltmakers to find inspiration in quilt traditions and then to branch out in new directions. One approach is to select an essential element from a design that becomes the focus of a new interpretation. LMQG members chose to make spin-offs of seven of the 20 patterns in James's Album quilt. These were more than enough inspirations, and each pattern yielded multiple adaptations.

Modern quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways, but several characteristics often appear which may help identify a modern quilt. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work. "Modern traditionalism" or the updating of classic quilt designs is also often seen in modern quilting. Each quilt illustrates one or more important design elements often found in modern quilting.
