OBJECTS MAY SHIFT IS A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY EXHIBITION FEATURING WORK FROM STUDENTS IN SEVEN DISCIPLINES — CERAMICS, FURNITURE DESIGN, GLASS, GRAPHIC DESIGN, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE, AND TEXTILES — AT THE RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN (RISD).

THIS STUDENT-DESIGNED EXHIBITION IS A CROSS-POLLINATION OF IDEAS, MATERIALS, AND SCALES THAT INVESTIGATE AND INTERROGATE OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE DOMESTIC INTERIOR. SHIFTS IN OUR CLIMATE, GLOBAL POLITICS, AND COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS RECONSTRUCT OUR UNDERSTANDING OF FORM, FUNCTION, AND MEANING. OUR CONTEMPORARY DEMANDS NEW APPROACHES TO MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND METHODS OF MAKING. FOR EMERGING ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS THIS REQUIRES THAT WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO IMAGINE NEW POSSIBILITIES FROM OUR UNIQUE DISCIPLINARY VANTAGE POINTS.

OBJECTS MAY SHIFT IS A PROMPT TO THINK IN NEW WAYS AND TO EVOLVE OUR PERCEPTIONS OF THE WORLD AROUND US.

AS OUR WORLD TRANSFORMS, OUR CREATIVE OUTPUTS DO TOO.

RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN →
RISD (pronounced “RIZ-dee”) is a creative community founded in 1877 in Providence, Rhode Island. Today, we enroll 2,538 students hailing from 60 countries. Led by a committed faculty, they are engaged in 44 full-time bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and supported by a worldwide network of over 31,000 alumni who demonstrate the vital role artists and designers play in today’s society.

Beyond facts and figures, what is the spirit of this community? Through a cross-disciplinary curriculum of studio-based learning and rigorous study in the liberal arts, RISD students are encouraged to develop their own personal creative processes, but they are united by one guiding principle: in order to create, one must question. In cultivating expansive and elastic thinking, RISD seeks to activate a critical exchange that empowers artists, designers and scholars to generate and challenge the ideas that shape our world. RISD’s mission, at both the college and museum, is not only to educate students and the public in the creation and appreciation of works of art and design, but to transmit that knowledge and make global contributions.
