providence art

i don't even know. the RISD Museum's coat closet got new wallpaper.
A very engaging and interesting temporary exhibition, "Collision" resides in the lobby space of the RISD Museum. It appears as a crazy colorful mess, but once understood it's concept comes from Robert Rauschenberg's, "Combines" where he believes life is a “gigantic painting from which to crop”, the space makes more sense. Seventeen contemporary artists were called together to collaborate, "collide" and "combine" their ideas and processes to create something extremely unique; some works are directly on the gallery walls and overlap each other.

i like contemporary art installations as much as the next person, but not a fan of millions of plastic babies.

Beyond Media festival 2009, Florence

Finally posting there awesome photos up here. They are not my own, but images to show how incredible our participation in the Beyond Media Festival was in Florence. It was so exciting just to be chosen as one of a handful of architecture schools around the world to be part of the Spot on Schools section. But to have the ability to go view the exhibition LIVE was absolutely amazing. My Italy trip was already in the planning phase, and including a walk over to the train- station-turned-exhibition hall, Statione Leopolda, was no problem at all. In fact, our hotel was just 3 blocks away. Our little space of RISD was used as exhibition space for student work as well as an installation in itself.
