When
the Davenport Museum of Art brought in Lauren Greenfield's Girl
Culture exhibit in 2003, it
was the institution's boldest exhibit to-date. A venue not known
for being confrontational showcased Greenfield's high-gloss
photographs with their blunt, distressing messages about the status
of girls and women in the world.
This
fall, the DMA's descendant, the Figge Art Museum, will be getting
edgy again, but in an entirely different way. In addition to the
current show of landscape photography (on display through October 8)
and an upcoming display of African-American quilts (November 18
through February 11), the Figge will have two exhibits that are
likely to alternately unsettle, excite, and confound audiences. And
even the landscape and quilt shows break some boundaries.
