Designing Traditions Biennial: Student Explorations in the Asian Textile Collection
Friday August 10, 2012 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Rhode Island School of Design Museum
224 Benefit St
Providence, Rhode Island 02903 Get Directions
This popular biennial exhibition reveals the working design process of contemporary student textile designers inspired by objects in the RISD Museum of Art's collection. The vast Asian textiles collection was among the earliest donations to the Museum and has long served as an integral design resource for Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) students. Now, in a collaboration between the Museum and the School, intricately crafted objects ranging from Hawaiian bark cloth to a Chinese feather fan and Persian rug fragment have been selected by curators and faculty to excite the newest generation of designers. In this third biennial show, innovative textiles, as well as hand-drawn and computer-generated designs, show the breadth of contemporary creativity sparked by even the smallest details of traditional craftsmanship.
