In Spring 2008, I was assigned the Assistantship role for Curatorial Assistant. In this position I coordinated with the graduating class and their advisors, to produce a thesis show for the 2008 MIA students. This involved designing, fabricating, installing and de-installing a show at the Providence Convention Center, as well as the generation of supporting materials such as mailers, posters and signage consistent with the design intent.
The department was asked to present the work in a projection ‘room’ instead of the usual poster method of display. We worked with RISD’s contractors at the Convention Center to design cut custom walls that would fit with their construction system. The front wall was designed to display models, portfolio books and feasibility reports in addition to the projected movies of work being shown inside and created an interactive, inviting, room for show visitors to sit for a while.
