RISD—Graphic Design

An unofficial collection

[risd-gd-fan]

Design: Gabriel Drozdov and Emily Bluedorn (RISD MFA GD 24)

RISD Grad Show 2024 invites viewers to experience an expansive range of exploratory work by emerging artists and designers. The work selected represents the culmination of each student’s experience in RISD’s dynamic and diverse graduate programs. As in years past, the 43,000-sf space will be custom-constructed, with more than 2,000 linear feet of walls forming a network of smaller galleries. The unique configuration of the large, flexible space provides remarkable opportunities for graduate students to show multiple pieces or large installations from final thesis projects representing one to three years of research, experimentation, critical thinking and production.

Opening reception Wednesday May 22 from 6-8pm

On view May 23-June 1

RISD Grad Show 24 online (RISDGRAD.SHOW) will go live in two phases,  May 22 and May 31.

Sculpture Senior Show 2024

[risd-gd-fan]

"The divided pairing of Home/World underlines our willingness to submit to frontiers. This exhibition recognises geography as that essential substrate for the artists’ internal landscapes. The surface receives traces of individual desire, after-images of enduring loyalties and collective grieving, yet the space between the observer and observed is a khora for re-enacting sanctuary and self-determination through the pursuit of opacity.

Home/World is a fabulation of a world not broken up into fragments, by cautiously optimistic citizens of kahin nahin. Let us remember the surface, for we must not surrender to the partitioning of the world."

Participating artists: Dai Asano, Ella Baum, Elena Bulet i Llopis, Jingwen Cao, Clara Delgado, Mengru Du, Zhu Gao, Srikar Hari, Sydney Howard, Sarah Meftah, Katelynn M Rogers, Tam Stockton, and Yuchen Wang.
