OUR SPIRITED ANCESTORS: THE DECORATIVE ART OF DRINK

05 Feb 2012 18:00:00 GMT

Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA)
924 South Main Street , Winston-Salem NC 27101
Sunday, February 5, 2012, 1 – 4:30pm

Early Southerners drank a lot — nearly twenty gallons of alcohol each — every year. They drank when they woke up in the morning, as they ate and worked during the day, and when they socialized at night. But how people drank was as important as what they drank. From imported Madeira sipped at mahogany tables to local whisky out of redware jugs, this exhibit explores the decorative arts that defined the early Southern drinker.

750 Marguerite Drive , Winston-Salem NC 27106
Sunday, February 5, 2012, 1 – 5pm

The eclipse of a once-thriving textile industry in North Carolina speaks to the volatility of market-driven fashion/s. Rather than keeping up with the latest styles (and their continuing demands of consumerism, turnover and excess) there is a movement amongst artists and designers that turns instead to refuge, time and duration. Beyond the runway and haute couture, this exhibition mines the histories of fashion as vessels of time, nature, and memory.
