ARTS

Rural Alabama quilts make big splash in Cleveland
By Elizabeth Logan
Every studio art major who ever thought of sewing old, beat-up jeans into a quilt for his or her dorm room should know that it has been done. Since July 27, the Cleveland Museum of Art has exhibited 65 quilts from the small, impoverished town of Gee’s Bend, Ala., where four generations of women cut up tattered paisley dresses, kitchen rags and their husbands’ old workpants to sew into unique works of art.

The Slip gives the term “jam band” new meaning
By Drew Spice
In my experience, a day with live music is better than a day without. For every band that has ever been labeled a jam band, a “blank meets blank” or indie rock (in the bad way), another band somewhere else is selling out, making it big or experimenting.

Also in arts:
• Violin recital lacks vitality
• Second City slays Obie crowd
• Jug band livens up the Cat in homecoming concert
• CD Review: The Finn Brothers: Everyone Is Here
• Better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
