visually, it is compelling. in terms of the subject matter, in terms of the approach to materials, it is so rich and diverse. it is a colorful show, a show that is deep in content, and we know something of the history of the "'s tradition within the african-american community. it is a tradition that came from africa, has its roots in africa, but during slavery, this was a combination of things. one was a way to be able to communicate with each other, a way to create beautiful objects, and a way to create functional, utilitarian objects for the family and community. the other part that makes it so interesting is the focus on jazz. there are two attritions being celebrated here. certainly, the tradition as we know it -- these are not traditional quilts. they have their roots in traditional aspects, but what you will find in this exhibition are works that include materials on the surface, new processes, copying, and putting photographic images on the surface. you will find packets sewn onto the surface, so the meth

i have always been in allwe of the visual impact of that magazine. there you understand what it takes to put it together. it is a very long process. you go to a meeting and plan a store that will not show up for year-and-a-half. it is a very long process. you become very intimate with the information. that can be its own kind of stress. you have so many opportunities to go back and change. you can change it to the point where you are making work to make yourself busy. >> did you get a sense of its future? it has lost some circulation in recent years. >> i am not an expert on that. what i did sense was that there was a strong international presence for the magazine. i think it may have been growing in that. it was still a premium product in other countries. here you can get it cheaply but there you could not. some combination of "national geographic" and "international geographic" and a web product could be very viable. i think they have an opportunity. >> january 23, 2009. that is right after the inauguration you had a headline on your column that sa
