Lucas Samaras, "Reconstruction #20," 1977. Sewn fabrics; 87 x 85 in. Denver Art Museum; National Endowment for the Arts, Dayton Hudson Foundation, Alliance for Contemporary Art M/M Edward Strauss, M/M Donald S. Graham, and anonymous donor, © the artist. Detail.

Spun: Adventures in Textiles, this summer's huge, campus-wide aggregation of exhibitions devoted to the textile arts at the Denver Art Museum, is definitely going to require more than one visit to absorb. In fact, DAM curators -- every single one of them had a hand in putting the shows together -- are banking on it. The wildly varied products of their labors collectively represent the wealth of textiles that have been tucked away for years in the museum collection, out of view.

You could make many different arguments in support of which historical staple of the Kentucky Derby is the best, and mint juleps and the actual race probably tie for a close second. But let's face it: The winners of this race are the hats -- huge, glorious and often feathered -- that pop up at viewing parties across the country. We spotted quite a few at the Four Seasons' Kentucky derby party over the weekend, and photographer Christopher Morgan captured the best specimens with his camera.

The dancers at Wonderbound -- the company formerly known as Ballet Nouveau Colorado -- are breathtakingly talented, as anyone who's seen one of their shows can attest. But dancing is just one facet of their skill. Several of the Wonderbound dancers are also interested in choreography, and the upcoming Industrial Project is their opportunity to show their stuff.
